Apple Confirms iPhone 3G Performance Fix in iOS 4.1
Steve Jobs confirmed in his press conference today that iOS 4.1 contains several bug fixes, including a fix addressing the poor performance of iOS4 on the iPhone 3G. Alas we have to wait another week for the update to be released. It will be hitting my iPhone as soon as iTunes says it is available.
I think it was notable that Jobs addressed this point very early in his presentation; the bugs mentioned are all major issues and need to be resolved. The new Gaming Center and real-time graphics rendering of the A4 chip are impressive, but we 3G laggards are just looking to be able to send email and make calls again!
No comments about whether iOS 4.2 will support the 3G and older iPod touch models, the presentation merely included an asterisk that noted *not all models. I think a cutoff at iOS 4.1 is appropriate for these devices if the performance problems are finally fixed.
