Apple iPhone 3G 8GB Reviews

Apple iPhone 3G 8GB Reviews. When I originally purchased for the phone, I opted for expedited shipping. Well that didn't happen because it took almost two weeks to get here instead of the 3-5 days that was promised with expedited shipping. After I had finally gotten the phone I connected it to my PC. It did a search and needed to be updated to the latest version, which had been accessible for quite a while. While I was running the update, the phone froze and was not doing anything. I took it to the nearest apple store for them to tell me that the software was screwed up on the phone and that the battery doesn't hold a charge at all. I had the phone to charge for more than five hours, and it was getting ready to die after only two. I then had to purchase a new phone with the store instead. Poor poor purchase.

Battery life

After the release of the iPhone 3G, many complaints were about battery life. This is also reflected by a J.D. Power and Associates custom satisfaction survey, which gave the “battery aspects” of the device its lowest rating of 2 out of 5 stars.

iOS performance issues

iOS 4, which was still compatible with the iPhone 3G, was released on June 21, 2010. Since its release, many iPhone 3G owners on iOS 4 have reported that their phones are performing much slower than they had prior to the update. Video comparisons of the performance differences have been posted. One theory claims that the problem stems from a bug in the Spotlight Search feature. Another claim, is that the 3G has insufficient RAM memory to cope with the demands of the new iOS 4 operating system: only 128 MB, versus the 512 MB of RAM in the iPhone 4 for which iOS 4 was designed.

An article in the Wall Street Journal's Digits column on July 28, 2010 drew attention to the situation, reporting that iPhone 3G phones updating to iOS 4 responded slowly, had diminished battery life, and became excessively hot.

During a media event on September 1, 2010, Apple announced that iOS 4.1 would be released on September 8, 2010, claiming to fix issues with performance on the iPhone 3G, along with fixes for Bluetooth and proximity sensor issues and other updates. The update did improve the speeds on the iPhone 3G, however, the speeds still remain well below acceptable levels. iOS 4.2.1 further fixed performance issues on the iPhone 3G.
