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.

Yes, I can confirm. I have an iPhone of 8GB (is it first or second generation?) and for me, switching from a sms log to another, or writing a new sms takes longer than it used to. I am hoping for an update and checking it’s availability in iTunes, but there isn’t one yet. Hmmm
mine is sluggish as well
Yes… very slow since upgrading… seems convenient to me. I am now addicted to this phone and will probably have to go out and buy the 3G. I am sure there are plenty of customers in the same boat. Again, very, too, convenient!
I have an Edge and my wife has a 3G. they are both slow, maybe too slow for such a hype of a phone. It is almost impossible to use the contact list.(Note I only have 50 contact cards) It is very disappointing and I just which there was a way to go back to the original version which worked pretty good to me.
Yes, I have a new 3G and it is VERY SLUGGISH now, specially with contact, calenders and gps. There is now a long delay time and it seems as if the touch screen does not respond quickly (or not at all sometimes) any more. Are there any solutions yet? I find myself swearing and mumbling to myself constantly. Solution NEEDED!
How can apple release this software!! They would have known of this issue pre release. Every 3g phone I have tried has this rediculous lag that is unnaceptable, especially after “upgrading” from an original iPhone. Very disapponting from a company with normally such hi standards. Surely the test iPhones used by apple employees would have this, as far as I’m aware it’s all phones with this software. Sort it out please before letting the poor consumer die of frustration!
My phone is extremely slow since the software update. To the point it’s almost unusable
I really regret upgrading since now my phone is very slow when I switch from app to app. I went to the Apple store in San Francisco and was told by one of the sales reps that they know about the problem and that there is no way to downgrade. He literally told me that I’m just stuck with my phone and I absolutely hate using my phone now. I asked about getting the G3 and he said it would be even slower! I really think this hurts Apple’s credibility. Why did they release an upgrade that ruined my original phone?

My first gen iPhone is totally gummed up since upgrading. Much to my chagrin. Slow in searching, slow in typing, slow in switching, slow in phone mode. Very unhappy.
