As an iPhone 4 owner and longtime Apple owner (owned a Mac since 1988 when I was 5 years old and typing this on a 15" rMBP) I wholeheartedly agree.
It's really beyond shocking how badly the iPhone 4 works with iOS7 as compared to iOS6. I'm not sure it can really be adequately explained - you just have to try it for yourself. Even switching to the camera from the lock screen is nearly impossible at times.
I've recently been looking into downgrading the OS back to 6, but I'm probably out of luck since I don't have the SHSH blobs and APTickets for the older firmware.
Apple really needs to fix the performance issues for iPhone 4 owners or provide a supported way to downgrade to iOS6 (Note: Sibling noted that iOS7.1 fixes the issue... I really hope that's the case).
I'm not a heavy app user - stock apps and one or 2 others I only. With this in mind, there was very little wrong with my ios7 experience. Sure, it wasn't as fast as I wanted, but it wasn't a particular concern. I wonder if this is a higher tolerance from me, or a difference in how our devices were working.
