iPhone 3G Speed Test: iOS 4.1 Vs. iOS 4

iOS 4.1

Steve Jobs confirmed at Apple’s special event held earlier in the week that iOS 4.1, which will be released next week will fix the performance issues observed by iPhone 3G users after upgrading to iOS 4.

The iOS 4 performance was so bad that some iPhone 3G users were forced to downgrade to iPhone OS 3.1.3.

Folks at LifeHacker have tested iOS 4.1 Golden Master on iPhone 3G to see if it fixes the performance issues.

You can checkout the video to find out the results:

As you can see from the video iPhone 3G running iOS 4.1 appears to be a lot more responsive than iOS 4.

It needs to be seen if iPhone 3G users find the improvements big enough to continue using iOS 4.1.

What do you think? Are you planning to upgrade to iOS 4.1? Let us know in the comments section below.

  1. True! I have just upgraded to iOS4.1 GM seed, it is very much stable, faster, and responsive than iOS 4.02.

    However, it is still dropping calls. I wonder if it is the OS (starting from iOS 4.0) or the celco.

    Anyway, for those who are struggling with iOS4.02, go for the upgrade, no second thought.

    Weel, looks pretty good. My 3gs after 4.01 began to stuck rolling the contacts, too much time to open apps, and slow fade in/out animation. I hope the jailbreak comes quickly.

    will be interesting to see how fast it will be once its jailbroken and using multitasking on the iphone 3G

  4. Ryan says:

    So the headline and article here says iPhone 3G whereas the video says it's a iPhone 3GS…

  5. BlackDemoN says:

    why the videos says at the beginning that is a iPhone 3gS ?

  6. oh.. hell ya.. i love you steve… speed me up.. slow me down. make me upgrade.. then slow me down later with another upgrade.. I love it.. I'm up, I'm down.. I'm fast I'm slow.. oh yaaaaaaa.

  7. iPhone 3x (3g, 3gs, ipod 3x) stay on os 3.1.3, end of story. iPhone 4 can go head with os 4.x. That's it. Period.

    you best be trolling son
    i have an iphone 4, but i was really pissed that they removed support for the orig iphone.

  9. As I said, os 3.x designed for iPhone 3gx dont bother to update to os 4.x, only ruin your device, just like old pc with small memory run win vista or win 7. Its runing, but ruunniinggg soo slowww. Listen to my advise son and u will be alright. ;)

  10. Z says:

    i have a 3gs on 4.0 as well. it works perfectly. don't just assume i dont know what i'm talking about
    and i ran a 300mhz g3 on tiger just because it had more compatibility and it wasnt all that bad, i was web browsing and all on it.

  11. Whoa says:

    I agree I just upgraded my 3GS and so far so good,what I like the best about iOS 4.0 is the bars,it might not be the most accurate but I have better signal overall so I think I will downgrade.I couldn't care less about the little new features I prefer signal.

  14. jimmi says:

    haha it saying 3GS from the beginning…hoax!

  15. DrunkMunki says:

    cant wait for this fix, i have been told i have the patience of a saint but sometimes i just have to hit the damn phone to take out my frustrations, lucky i havent damaged it yet (touch wood)
    even the simplest apps, sms messages or "notes" runs unbelievably slow.

  16. fuckuaLL says:

  17. Gareth says:

    Wonder if this will fix the low speaker volume from the loud speaker? Been experiencing this since updating to OS4, proper doin my head in now!

  18. Park says:

    For 3GS, it seems quite alright. HOWEVER 3G PLEASE DONT. IT's better than iOS4 BUT NOT as near as iOS3. I'm downgrading it back to iOS3.1.3.
