Will have to be seen how much more solid 4.1 is performance wise. I don't install betas onto my usage phone so I can't comment on it yet.<br /><br />the problem is that apple locks the hardware from downgrading (neither the user nor shops can do it, only apple itself seems to be able to), thats where the hardware replacement requirement comes in.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712729234546065861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525673445936637979.post-36196506181253135512010-07-30T09:22:25.192+02:002010-07-30T09:22:25.192+02:00Well, replacing the hardware on the account of a s...Well, replacing the hardware on the account of a software update may be a bit too much.<br /><br />I would expect however the upgrade to the 4.1 version of the OS to be free for the 3G users that had these problems. From a sales point of view, this is possible, since Apple knows what 3G owner upgraded to 4.0<br /><br />Anyway, good luck with the phone.Herr_Alienhttp://herralien.110mb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525673445936637979.post-9015856617345682642010-07-30T02:00:34.020+02:002010-07-30T02:00:34.020+02:00I'm very well aware of that.
But its one thing...I'm very well aware of that.<br />But its one thing to phase out support, but a totally different one to brick tens of millions of devices on purpose as Apple did.<br />In many countries this would actually have brought them in the situation where they would have had to replace the devices (in some european ones they actually have to), its just the US law that protects them from fair treatment.<br />Fair treatment because they lured their users into upgrading through spreading purposely false informations and as such deserve to be forced to pay for it, in a way that ensures that Apple remembers that betrayal and stealing is still a crime, even if you are a 240B monster.<br /><br />And that it was on purpose is out of question, because they had hundreds to thousands of reports on the problems before it even went into gold master state.<br />4.1 will solve some of it but how much will have to be seen.<br />I decided to jailbreak my 3G cause I have no warranty any longer anyway and nothing to lose cause the device can't work any slower (my first mobile, a nokia 3310 a decade or so ago, was faster and more responsive on sms and notes writting than the 3g was prior to jailbreaking)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712729234546065861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525673445936637979.post-37518178153124598782010-07-29T08:03:32.918+02:002010-07-29T08:03:32.918+02:00Welcome to marketing!
