Is the performance of iOS 6 on iPhone 4 slower than iOS 5?

Is the performance of iOS 6 slower than iOS 5 on iPhone 4 (GSM) ?

I haven't upgraded after a visit to my local Apple store. On playing with the iPhone 5, I found Safari to be very slow so I logged on to their wifi on my 4s running 5.1.1 and loaded the same uncashed webpage on both. iPhone 5 18 seconds and my 4s 8.5!
Hmm, I then tried the same with 2 other 5s, exactly the same. Next I tried a demo 4s running 5.1.1 and it was he same as mine.
Lastly, today I tried a friend's 4s  running ios6 and it was way slower than the iPhone 5s in the Apple store.
Conclusion? Keep away from ios 6 for now.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5209 might help you.  An iPhone 4 can airplay content from apps that support airplay and iTunes but it cannot mirror.  If your game does not have airplay in the app you cannot mirror it to the apple TV so I don't know if you can play just the music.  You should have no problem playing your iTunes over airplay though.

  • How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

    This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

  • Is there a way to totally disable the music feature on an IPhone 4 running iOS 7.1?

    Hi all;
    Is anyone aware of a way to totally disable the music player on an IPhone 4 running iOS 7.1?  I don't use the phone for music at all and don't want the music player draining the battery when the phone is paired via bluetooth to my 2012 Subaru Forester Premium (type "C" sound system) for phone calls.  Any guidance/advice most appreciated...thanks!
    Rick

    Been awhile since I left iOS 7, but there's no such button in 8 either. Closest match would appear to be Frequent Locations.

    Downgrading isn't possible. iTunes won't install iOS versions older than the latest compatible release, and if one's somehow installed anyway, Apple's servers won't activate the device afterwards.

  • Setup new iOS 7 iPhone from an iOS 6 backup?

    Hello Everyone,
    Apologies if this is in the wrong area of the forum.
    A few weeks ago I put my iPhone 4s in the washing machine (by accident). It no longer works...
    My iPhone 4s which was running iOS 6 was backed up a few weeks before I broke it.
    I am now about to buy an iPhone 5s. I assume the iPhone 5s comes with iOS 7 on it already.
    I am just wondering if I can setup my new iPhone (iOS 7) from the backup of my old iPhone (iOS 6).
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Cheers,
    MarkA-

  • PXI: NI 5600, data lost or stored if the loop time of processing is slow than the acquisition.

    I want to know what occurs exactly at the time of L acquisition and the processing data acquired with Ni 5600.  When J write my programme of processing of data in Labview, if the loop time of processing of data is slow than the acquisition, I want to know if PXI put the data in a buffer or then the data are lost. 
    J wait your answer impatiently. You can tell me the documentation were can i read to see the answer.
    Anybody can help me.

    hi abidi,
    First, let me tell you how buffered acquisiton works.
    If you are using Daq mx for continous acquisition, Labview will autoselect the size of buffer depending on the sampling rate specified.
    In sample clock.vi, select sample mode as "continous samples".
    Now, Labview will determine the loop speed for reading data that is written into the AI buffer and hence run  necssary number of AI read loops to retrieve data from the buffer every second.
    this loop speed can also be set by specifying "number of samples per channel" in AI read.vi.
    If you leave this value at default ( -1) labview will function as explained above
    This can also be set by user ,for example, if your sampling rate is 1000 saples per sec and number of samples per channel is 200, the AI Read functions is performed 5 times in a second. 
    read this link to get to know about cyclic buffers and continous acquisition.
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/F2DDCBAD754C687C86256802007B8514
    You tell that you are performing some processing on acquired data.
    Now, your prgram has to allocate adequate process time for acquiring,retriving data from buffer and then processing it.
    the time allocated for processing data depends on the kind of mathematical conversions involved. Nevertheless it is an overhead on the acquisition loop.
    this may result in overflow of buffer and data being overwrittien in buffer which results in data loss. An eror message might also pop up to warn that this has happened.
    so if your application permits, here's what you can do to avoid this problem
    First acquire data and save it on system in ascii or binary fromat.
    later retrieve this data file and perform processing /analysis on it.
    if you have any further doubts, plz tell.
    regards,
    Devchander M

  • Is iOS 4.3.1 on an iPhone 3GS slower than iOS 4.1?

    I updated the version of iOS on my iPhone 3GS from 4.1 to 4.3.1 via restore. I didn't set up my iPhone as a new phone because I've never seen that as necessary (and I have a lot of settings and apps). Since I've updated, my iPhone seems noticeably more sluggish. Sometimes there's a bit of a lag in the animation as an app is launched, which isn't too bad, but in the camera app today, there was a very noticeable delay when trying to start a video (there has always been a rather noticeable delay in switching from camera to video mode): the video wouldn't start for a couple of seconds after pressing the red button.
    Things seem fine after a double reset, but then gradually slow down again.
    So is it iOS 4.3.1 that is slower, or is it something on my iPhone?
    I have over a 100 apps with a lot of stored data, so I can't start again from scratch. I also would like to preserve app folder and icon locations.

    One particular problem is that once an app is downloaded from the app store, the actual part of the process where the app icon says "Installing..." takes an insane amount of time.

  • Typing on 3G iPhone slower than 1st iPhone

    Anyone noticed that typing on 3g iPhone has lag now? Even the audible clicks are slower... Not huge issue but noticeable. Wife's new phone same as mine... Anyone else?

    Yep - that's it. Seems to be the system software 2.0 - went to Apple Store last night and played with other iPhone 3Gs and they all did the same thing. It's like when you type the processor sometimes is trying to keep up with rapid typing.
    Easiest way to see it is to look at an iPhone (either 3G or 1st Gen) running 2.0 software, versus another iPhone running V1.x.x software and type out a good sized text message. You'll notice the typing on the 1.x.x software is smoother and more accurate.
    Then delete by holding down the delete key... you'll hear the clicks on the 2.0 software sound sluggish, while the 1.x.x software buzzes right through the characters without missing a beat.
    Might be a simple case of giving the 2.0 software a few revisions from Apple to run faster and smoother. But... it's definitely there. I only noticed because I am usually able to FLY through typing on the iPhone, and with the new one I make more mistakes as the clicks don't correspond to actual key presses. You might hit a character key and then a microsecond later it clicks... doesn't sound like much but when hitting 2 or 3 characters a second the lag can make it difficult to type at fast speeds.
