That\u2019s something hard to predict, and difficult to scale for, so I\u2019ll cut Apple some slack. It\u2019s not as if Amazon, Google, and certainly Research In Motion, are free of server problems.<\/p>\n<p>I also have iOS 5 also running on a GSM iPhone 4, where the upgrade went smoothly. Just as a quick test, I worked on a friend\u2019s iPhone 4s and, despite claims of stellar performance boosts, only sensed a modest improvement in launching apps, navigating through apps, and getting online. Then again, the friend has a Verizon Wireless account, which may account for Internet speeds that do not task the device\u2019s limits.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Wait!
