With each iOS upgrade it seems my old iPhone 4 got slower and slower, but this morning I installed the new 7.1 and I am very pleased. Animations are snappier. Screens load faster. Heck, even my home screen button actually works 9 times out of 10 now. Now I think I can actually hold out for the iPhone 6 :-) Title Comments Impressed.

I think pigs just flew. Comments That's good to hear. Apple improving backwards comparability with an older device. I think pigs just flew.

I have 7.0.x on my iPhone 4 now, and can barely tolerate it. Maybe the upgrade will kick some new life into it! Mark Comments That is indeed good news!

Do you recall doing anything special? It 'asked' you to update? or did you initiate an update somehow…? I'd love to update the OS on my 1st Gen to 7.1; it's an oldie, but it's in great condition and I don't want to retire it just yet… Cheers! -- Smug Comments I just checked mine, and it still says 'iOS v5.1.1, your software is up to date'.
