After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
I got my new Air and want to share a little first impressions. First my background: I write books on Apple stuff and I know my way around their stuff, so definitely no noob here :) Overall I like the device, but there are some little issues.
1) where the iPad 4 stuttered, Air stutters too. New...
iOS 4.3 leaves only about 93 megs of RAM free upon forced reboot. 4.2.1 on the same iPad left around 115 megs. iOS 4.3 is indeed noticeably slower than 4.2.1. It's iOS 4 on iPhone 3G situation all over again :-/
Hi!
I have just installed the updated 4.2 GMb and the wifi issues are still present. It's just as bad as the first GM. Rolling back to 3.2.2 which work flawlessly.
What's your experience? has the new GM fixed wifi issues, has it not, or you didn't ever had the issue in the first place?
Hi! I have the new 4.2 GM installed on my old iPhone 3G. I get that I won't get the new cool features (Air*whatever), but I don't have new text sounds either! Not that I mind very much, but - come on! It's a DFU restore, so restoring won't probably help.
Do you guys have new SMS text sounds?
Hi!
Do you guys see improved performance with 4.1 over 4.0.x? Mine is the same really, I wasn't experiencing the nasty slowdown (I was always able to answer calls immediatelly, keyboard wasn't ever stuck for seconds on my 3G...) before.
Generally, I feel 4.1 is about the same as 4.0.
I also...
Title says it all - iPhone 3G apparently has trouble keeping up with indexing, ever since 3.x. Two days ago, I turned off Spotlight search (Settings-General-Home Button-Spotlight search-switch off all you don't use) because I rarely, if ever, used it.
Up to this day, my poor old 3G with iOS is...
Hi! I've jailbroken and modified my old 3G to run multitasking and wallpapers. Now I want to DISABLE wallpaper and have a nice clean black background. How do you do it without resorting to modifying plist? Search returns nothing.
Thanks!
It may be a website bug, but Apple - iPhone - New features in the iOS 4 Software Update. (scroll down) clearly shows wallpaper on iPhone 3G, not only 3GS and 4. Apple is usually very precise about these details.
Hello,
When I do Google search from the searchbox of Mobile Safari, the results are returned in a desktop way, i.e. not optimized for mobile screen. I then need to zoom and scroll, which is annoying. Yahoo works okay.
Does it happen to you too? Any thoughts or fixes?
Thanks!
Hi, when I search in safari searchbox, the search results are displayed in normal, desktop way of tiny fonts. Not the iPhone-optimized version it should. Yahoo works as it should, buy I don't want to use it because it forces local results.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm on 3.0, 3g. Thanks!
Mine got definitely more laggy and slow. It seems memory usage is massively higher, so there is very little RAM for apps. For example, FileAid displayed my pdfs and docs in few secs and rarely (if ever) crashed, now it crashes all the time. 2XL Motocross is super laggy. The 3G phone is almost...
