Should I update my iPhone 4S to iOS 7? - 2

I've been putting it off for so long, and I'm still only iOS 5. Should i take the plunge and do it? I've heard so many bad stuff about iOS 7 though, but it's really frustrating not being able to download some apps!

On a 4S I would recommend the upgrade. Many of the tweaks that made jailbreaking a thing to do have been implemented in iOS 7. You probably will see a minimal performance increase and maybe a slight effect on the battery however I do believe it will be an overall better experience.

Tossing that to the side though… Why not just upgrade to another phone?

  • Update stopped during ios update own iphone now phones broke I connected my iPhone 4 to my computer (iTunes) and started doing the update through iTunes. About five minutes into the update iTunes in my computer stops working, causing the update to of course stop working. Now my phone will not turn on. On the screen it is black with the 'charge symbol' as if it were low on battery and an iTunes symbol. I have tried turning my phone off and on, but of course it didn't respond.
  • Should i update to ios 8 or stick with ios 7 on my iphone 5? Cuz from experience i know ios 7 is really slow on iphone 4. So just wondering if anyone already updated to ios 8 on their 5. Is it worth it, any issues with the speed
  • Should I update to iOS 7? Or Stay with iOS 6? I have an iPhone 5, and I was wondering whether iOS 7 is a worthy upgrade from iOS 6, and if the features are really that compelling or not. Or Should I stay with iOS 6?
  • Should I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 or leave it on iOS 5? I'm currently using iOS 5.1.1 because I didn't want to lose google maps (which I use a lot) to shoddy apple maps but I've seen a google maps app on the app store now so do you think I should update to iOS 6? And what are the benefits?
