Today the long-awaited and I would say prayed-for update for iPhone 3G and higher on version iOS 4.2. The iPhone update went perfectly fine. What can we expect from the update? iPhone 3G expected? When we look around, almost nothing is visible at first glance. We will not see the promised new SMS tones, in the ringtone menu when for iPhone 4 17 new ringtones for SMS have been added to iPhone 3G does not introduce any innovations, only the old ringtones remain.
I still miss why Apple won't allow the possibility of a custom ringtone for SMS and especially why the update doesn't add an SMS ringtone to this older but still functional model!
It is more than possible that this is an attempt Appslowly but surely force users to upgrade to iPhone 4.
The overall speedup of the phone has taken place, the time for loading SMS has decreased from three seconds to two, I observe the same with the calendar and the image gallery. Unfortunately, the speeds as with iPhone We'll probably never see OS 3.1 again.
The absence of the service also freezes "Find my iPhone" through a free account on mobileMe.
Changing the font in the notes application is possible as in iPhone 4 so at iPhone 3G, unfortunately you need to enter the settings menu > notes and select one of the desired fonts: Chalkboard, Helvetica and Marker Felt. When changing the font, all notes are changed in bulk, so it is not possible to set the font directly in the application and have each note in a different font.
Bottom line users iPhone They did improve 3G, but probably not as much as they expected.
So I'm opening a discussion under the article for 3G users to write their impressions of the update on iOS 4.2.
I noticed one more detail - In the settings for changing the sound volume, the option "Change with Buttons" was added with the description "The volume of the ringer and alerts can be adjusted using the volume buttons."
If you observe the acceleration of the calendar, then you are a happy person. I use a total of 8 MobileMe calendars and the result is that they are totally unusable... Many people have this problem and Apple, and I like him, he's coughing... So I'm giving up hope and leaving my iPhone 3G alone iOS 3.1.3. Unfortunately, the calendar is slightly slower with iOS I also watch 4.2.1 on the iPad… Troika’s iOS was excellent, I'm afraid that with iOS 4 Apple it slipped a bit by the wayside and, above all, there is no way back... I just hope that MAC OS Lion doesn't experience something similar... Alas Apple does not realize that in some countries people cannot buy a new iPad and iPhone every year…
We would be happy if iphone 3G is still being considered, and updates and bugfixes are still being released for it (iOS 4.2.1). All functions still work on it. appI had it myself. iphone 2g and I had to upgrade to 4g. If I had 3g at the time, I would have waited to buy it.
Another little thing is the new Dictaphone icon. :)
