iPhone 3G – 2.1 update

September 16, 2008 · Posted in Tech 

As highly anticipated this release was, some of the main fixes focused on:

  1. Significantly better battery life for most users
  2. Decrease in call setup failures and dropped calls
  3. Reduced time to backup to iTunes
  4. Improved performance in text messaging
  5. Faster loading and searching of contacts
  6. Genius playlist creation

My opinion and actual results for so:

  1. Its even worse, with 3G enabled my battery is 3/4 of the way drained with no phone calls in less than 6 hours since being unplugged from the charger
  2. Lost 4 calls alone yesterday with full signal strength in the 3G area
  3. Yea thats better
  4. This is the biggest improvement so far for me
  5. Still a little laggy for me, could be better
  6. Genius… Pandora is still better and should have worked after the 2.1 update instead of having to sync the phone again

I am honestly NOT impressed with Apple and their progress on these updates. My battery life absolutely sucks ass and is far from acceptable… Why should I have to turn off 3G, Push etc just to make it through the day. Just fix the damn problem!!

They keep delaying things people want and where basically promised in the 2.1 release. Maybe we’ll have to wait for 3.0 for us to get everything we want…. but then they will probably make us pay for the update!!

My good ole Samsung Blackjack maybe coming out of retirement if this shit keeps up!!
