Does anyone know if Apple is going to find a fix for the slow iphone 4 issues ? Or are we forced to an iphone 5 upgrade, in which case most I suspect will move to Andriod as holding people up to ransom is not ideal.
Yes I have been through all the fixes as most people, but it is laggy, slower than before and impossible to use depending on how you were using your iphone before the upgrade.
iPhone 4
you wont find a how to on here but if you have a look around the web im sure there are ways to downgrade
I've experienced no issues running iOS 7 on my iPhone 4. Not sure why you seem to be.
What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
So you've already restored it as a new device using iTunes and you're still having problems?
TJB - You probaly are the only one that is not experiencing any issues, or you may be not be using any capability on your iphone, hence you have no issues. Given the number of posters out there with issues, I suspect you are in the minority.
Ideally ability to either downgrade without hacking the phone or an alternative release would be much better. No doubt apples share price will take an impact on this at some point given the large number of unhappy users.
Killed - not a full restore, but this is too much to do. Why do I have to do a full restore to make it work ? Sounds a little like a Microsoft operating system ? I may as well move to a Microsoft phone if I want to reset the thing every time an update is applied.
So, you have no desire or troubleshoot the issue, you just wish to ***** and whine?
Upgrade to iOS 7.1. This article explains how much better an iPhone 4 works on it:

People come here because they are having problems, not to report that it's working fine for them. You are the one in the minority.
Restore it as a new device using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. Test it. If it works fine, it's not a problem with the phone. Restore your backup. If the problem comes back, then your backup is corrupt. Restore it as new again and re-install your apps from scratch instead of restoring your backup.
If restoring it as new with iTunes, try one more time with it in DFU mode. If that still doesn't fix it, make an appointment at the genius bar.

No, the people posting here are the minority. Apple has millions of users of iPhone 4 with iOS 7. Very, very few of them have any problems.
And I use my iPhone 4 for a lot of things, and I'd suspect for more intensive tasks than the average user. Since June of last year, I've been using iOS 7 with no issues.
And as far as Apple's shares? Stock price is up about 70 points since the day prior to iOS 7's public release in September.
I have experienced performance glitches with more than 1 iphone 4 freshly restored/upgraded to iOS 7 and IMHO iOS 7 should never have been offered to iphone 4 customers but I understand apple had an obligation to make iOS 7 available for iphone 4 users as they were still selling iphone 4 handsets right up to the release of iOS 7 I wouldn't recommend downgrading as a first solution if I didn't think it was warranted but the link AmishCake posted seems to explain its now a non issue and they have fixed the glitches so I might try updating again
Is apple going to release a fix for iphone4 ?
