Is the iPhone 2.0 software slower or is it just me?
It definitely seems like the iPhone 2.0 software is slower than the 1.x version. Selecting contacts, switching screens, etc. all seem to suffer noticeable delays. I'm on the 2G version, so maybe that's part of the problem. Has anyone else noticed this?
Definitely slower. That was one thing that I didn't like with 1.0 - you'd click on SMS, for example, and have to wait a few seconds for the application to load. Not every time, but enough that you noticed it.
Now, it's a virtual guarantee that you're going to wait. I just hope that the 3G uses a faster processor or in *some* way speeds up the 2.0 experience.
nope, I'm afraid the 3g hardware runs 2.0 apps really slow too. Hopefully software update is due soon.
I thought so too, glad I wasn't the only one.
This is a really big problem and im very surprised more people are not pointing it out in the various iPhone 3G / 2.0 reviews which i've seen.
This is typical though in the sense that the Apple press will ignore the negative :(.
Everyone I know (and i know a lot of people) that have the new iPhone or upgraded to 2.0 like me on the old phone are having application crashes, slow performance (mostly on startup of an app) and one guy even had to do a hard reset after a myserious phone failure.
Overall though to be fair i still like the phone, i think its a great platform and will help push the industry. Good luck to the Apple dev team, i know its not easy producing quality software and having full control of the device i guess this time didnt help much.
