iOS 7.1 – Speeding the Performance of iPhone 4

The all new iOs 7.1 official update has been released for iPhone 4. The improvements are not that much drastic as we expected. However, Apple is steeping up much to our delight. One of the greatest advantages of iOS 7.1 on iPhone 4 is indeed improved performance as compared to iOS 6 and iOS 7. Although, iOs 7.1 on iPhone 4 does not work, obviously the same, as it does for iPhone 5, iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. Some iPhone 4 users have report that their phones are much faster with this update at different technology forums and Apple official forum. 

The Performance of iOS 7.1 on iPhone 4

Brand Crux has conducted iOS 7.1 time based performance tests on iPhone 4. Following result has been collected from key functionality tests performed on iPhone4.

The improvements are not very fundamental like some of the most important functions such as phone or camera had not received a great deal of variation, but the interactive display fluidity is appreciated. However, some of the significant improvements made to the calendar, as we can see, but restarting the phone is a still too slow task.
