While I haven't tried this on my old iPhone 4, the improvements in iOS7 include not only more and better gestures but the system is far speedier throughout on my iPhone 5. I do believe there may be some errata that need to be fixed on older devices that are causing some performance issues. Upgrade was flawless and wireless.
All I really hear from people in conclusion is "I can't deal with change" - find something else to do with your time please. Adapt or die.
Android is in fact worse - the tablet I bought my son in Christmas 2011 never received any updates at all... Just didn't get them - not a hardware issue in the least. Just part of the fragmented and security weak Android ecosystem that doesn't seem to bother Google...
I have been a software vendor for quite a while now and I assure you they are all out for themselves first and customers second - including Apple. I have used Mac, Linux, and Windows for years now. I consider MSFT largely on-par with Apple in usability and visual quality (in Vista). I recently bought a Sony VGN-Z530N with Vista and the machine runs Vista flawlessly - the combination is on par with the Macbook Pro I had last year. And guess what this $1300 Windows computer has built in broadband and similar video as the new MBP! but it only weighs 2 lbs less and has 1.5 more hour battery life...but I still want it to run OSX.
Glad to finally see some intelligent commentary here. Where the others come up with time to waste is beyond comprehension...
I think this move makes sense at first blush but here are the catches:
1. Anti-trust - growth in AMD market share probably negates that
2. Intel CPUs suck - true that but AMD has reliability problems or at least has had which kills consumer confidence
3. Comparison - with Apples running on the identical platform as Windows people may be less willing to pay a premium leading to 4
4. Loss of margin - having a vertically integrated product contributed to the ability to charge more $
these are some serious issues but probably the only way that Apple can survive and the most likely route for loosing the chains of Microsoft

overpriced mediocre equipment you can find some nice Definitive Tech satellites or Klipsch that will humble any Bose system
