Many Apple iPhone users on July 11 experienced massive problems with iTunes and updating their iPhones to the new software 2.0 update, although we had no problems updating, we are now finding one really annoying problem.
While I am not sure why, the iPhone has a massive delay when doing different tasks ever since I upgraded to the new firmware 2.0. At first I thought it may just be my iPhone, then we find out this issue has affected a lot more users and it is big news.
Before the update, clicking on a contact, switching between different areas of the iPhone and other tasks were almost instant but now there is a delay that can be up to 3 or 4 seconds.
Is your iPhone 3G or first generation iPhone affected by this, does it have a delay in some areas after upgrading to software 2.0?
You will know if your affected as it’s a major difference, we have found 6 people so far this has affected, lets find out how big a problem this really is.

Mine iPhone has been very slow since upgrading to 2.0. A reboot helps for a few hours, then you must repeat it I’d put up with delays scrolling, entering text (passwords show the last 1 or 2 characters typed for a second or two), and frequent browser crashes. I would like to restore back to version 1.
Yes, my Iphone is very slow. and at this speed I could not use it over time.
My iPhone is now very sluggish after upgrading to 2.0. I am not happy about it at all. Sometimes the phone is almost unusable. I would seriously entertain the idea of downgrading back to 1.0 if I knew how.
At first I thought it just might be me, with a large address book (2,500 contacts). But it seems to effect most everyone, even the 3G phones.
Argh!
Ditto…I thought it was just me until I read this. I sure hope they come up with a solution to this.
My iphone has turned into a real pain to operate ever since the update. This new update was worthless considering the trouble I have to deal with now when loading different tasks.
agree. sluggish
Yes, same lag with the UI on my 3G iPhone. Look at Apple discussions forum, over 200 comments on the lag issue, and Apple Insider has a news item as well, over 150 comments.
I have the new iPhone 3G, never owned the original. This makes it tough for me to gauge the slowness that many of you might be experiencing. Still, I think I am experiencing this slowness as well. Sometimes my contacts will take almost 5 seconds to load, and switching between programs can sometimes result in a 3 or 4 second pause before anything happens. I also hope this gets fixed, because these types of problems are reminding of the problems that I consistently had and hated about Windows Mobile (GASP!).
I agree. My iPhone 3g is much slower than my wife’s iPhone 1.
It also fails to make calls and when I switch from wireless to Edge or 3G I have to reboot in order to get any eMail to work.
I went to Apple and they have heard all this before and say a new update should be available in 3 weeks.
Im not holding my breath.
Yes, Yes, YES!!!!
My phone now freezes all the time and I have to reboot it at least once a week!
I’ve debated purchasing the 3g but I am now hearing similar problems as well with the new iphone.
What I can’t figure out….Hackers have already developed a way to fix these issues and yet Apple said it will take 3 weeks to correct. Hmmmmmm.
Thanks Apple for slashing the price and making the people who purchased it when it came out feel like royal idiots and not to mention….screwing up my current iphone.
Much Appreciated!
