Updating iPhone 4 to iOS 6.0.1? - 1

I still haven't updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 because I heard about slow issues and battery issues and I'm kind of afraid to update it. I've got 7 GB free on my phone so I think that's plenty of space. Anyone who has updated recommend it?

I have it on my iphone 5 & have heard the same thing but switching my ios from 5.0.1 to 6.0.1 hasn't made my phone any slower
I do like the tweeting & facebook options but other than that i don't see a reason to update
It just depends on if you want those buttons in your NC to update facebook & twitter
Siri also has improvements but you said you have a 4 so that wouldnt matter to you

Just leave it to where it is

  • Will updating my iPhone to iOS 6 unban me? My Instagram account was disabled for whatever stupid reason, but if I were to update my iPhone 4S to the new iOS 6 beta, would I be able to use Instagram again? I've made a new account, and it says my account has been disabled. It banned my phone via the UDID. Instagram works on my ancient iPod Touch though.
  • Will updating my iPhone apps affect my phone speed as how updating the Operating System (OS) will? Currently I'm using the iPhone 5s on iOS 8.3 I know if I were to update my phone to the latest OS I may notice some slowdown on my phone's performance, since it may not have the "muscle" to handle certain functions. Many apps now are optimised for iOS 9 and/or the 6th generation phones. Will my 5s' speed performance slow down if I update my apps? Will the app's performance slow down?
  • Will updating from ios 6.0.1 to ios 6.1.2 remove everything? I know that if you 'Majorly' update your iPhone it will erase everything from your iPhone like updating ios 4 to ios 6, but what if you are just updating your iPhone from ios 6.0.1 to ios 6.1.2 on the same version, is there any difference or it will also remove everything?
  • Updating unlocked iPhone 4 to latest ios without losing carrier? I have an iPhone 4, not 4s, and the current ios is 4.0.2., and the current carrier is T-Mobile. I need too know if updating it will take out the carrier and/or brick my phone.
