I just picked up this story for Read Write Web. I will be checking out a few of the unofficial solutions.
While there is no news beyond Apple “looking into” these issues, there are a few options for iPhone 3G owners who have already made the upgrade.
First, LifeHacker points to this tip on Gizmodo, which says that disabling the Spotlight search feature, in conjunction with a “double hard reset“, can help performance immensely.
There is also a way to downgrade your iPhone 3g to iOS 3.1.3, the final operating system release of iOS 3 before Apple moved on to iOS 4.
And finally, Joel Evans writes for ZDNet that there is a last resort – complain enough until Apple just replaces your iPhone 3G with one running the old OS. According to multiple reports, Apple Stores had a stash of old iPhone 3Gs to offer as replacements and told one customer that “Apple was working on a ‘fix’, so stay tuned”.
