iOS 7 on iPad mini - will it see performance issues?

I have been on the fence for getting a current iPad mini, with the main question of what will iOS 7 do to the performance of this device?

As it has the same specifications of the iPad 2, and close to the underclocked iPhone 4s, it can do what I need it for today. But will the 512mb

ram be a limiting factor when the new iOS is released?

I still have my 1st generation iPad, and I remember the performance impact iOS 5 had when installed, making what once was a fairly speedy iPad to

slow and clunky.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.2

No One here will have any idea of limitations of any future version of iOS.

This cycle has happened over and over with Apple devices once they install a newer iOS release. I'm sure any iPhone 4 owner can attest to the performance impact of each concurrent iOS install.

All except my iPhone 4 I guess.

Since there is no information regarding any future iOS versions there's no way to know. iOS7 hasn't even benn announced yet. And it won't likely be for a while still. So there's no actual info on what its requirements will be or if it will even be able to be run on the current Mini.
