I can't recall Apple ever saying up front whether a particular OS upgrade is problematic, so the sort of thing you're proposing is simply never going to happen! Apple never forced anyone to upgrade either. I can't remember what the UI in iTunes was like in detail, but I think you've always been able to opt in or out. -- Chris

But there was no indication this was any different than previous updates. I am very IT savvy but there was also no indication that this update would be more taxing on the processor or lead to significant slowdowns. It looks like very few here have downgraded... H

If you didn't now there were problem and why would you think that Apple would possibly produce software that would degrade the use of your iPhone then you would automatically accept what they offered as you always have done before. I really believe they should have posted that installing this software would really slow up the iPhone 3Gs. I cannot afford iPhone 4 at the moment but my iPhone now runs so slowly its driving me up the wall. For the first time I can honestly say I am not a happy Apple customer!

However it appears I need to Jailbreak it to do it, don't want to do that . I am presuming that Jailbreaking is different to unlocking or I can apparently ask O2 to unlock my phone now Lynn Live for today, as tomorrow is not promised

It's defnitely slower, but no where near "unusable" for me. My feeling is that it's not raw CPU power as such, but lack of RAM that is causing the problems with the 3G. Even if CPU is the problem, they can speed things up in the next release (cf SL's speedups over prev OS). |
