Have you tried the basics from the manual?

Restart, reset, restore.

Standard troubleshooting...


1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.


2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.


3. Remove apps from Recently Used list...

- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List

- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list

- Press the home button when done.


4. If still a problem restore with your backup.


5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.


6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

I'm sorry, but the answer is no... well, not on your iPhone 4.


You should follow the standard troubleshooting steps, it may help... alot. But the thing is, Apple wants you to upgrade your "old" device. I had the same issues at some point with my iPhone 3G... If you had an iPhone 5s, I'm pretty sure iOS7 would be faster than iOS 6.1.3 on your iPhone 4...


Good luck.

I've used it for months. Runs just fine. Slower than on my 5, but that's not a surprise since the processors are different. iOS 6 ran smoother on my 5 as well.


And if they wanted me to 'upgrade' my old device, then why not let my iPhone 3GS have acces to iOS 7?


An iPhone 4 is within the parameters for iOS 7. You just won't be able to do as much, as fast, as you would on an iPhone 5.

You should check it out in a store (or check with a friend or a colleague) before upgrading though... Personally I don't like the new colours & icons. I don't like the new Safari either and the Music app is full of bugs. Battery life has decreased as well (on iPhone 5).


I've been an Apple disciple for several years now and I'll probably try a Nokia Windows phone next time... iOS 7 ruined the whole experience for me (my iPad 3 is laggy, the Remote app is an epic fail, etc.).


I haven't tried Windows 8, but I'm assuming it can't be worst than iOS 7...


I don't know about the hardware though.
