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.

Since the 2.0 upgrade, my phone is slow to show contacts, emails, text messages…..safari and texting quit for no reason, I am very unhappy with the upgrade, twice as slow……
People! I just fixed the slowness of my iPhone after the 2.0 update.
After several resets on iTunes, nothing seams to work, so I did a factory reset on the phone itself instead of iTunes and on iTunes I erased the backup file. It takes a while but its working great now. Before this, it was just a useless phone with internet that I could not even see my contact list without waiting 8 seconds to load. try it out. It worked for me.
Easy fix at least for me… Try removing AIM from your Iphone I did and it resulted in great success I realize most people probably have this app (since it’s free) but until they fix it I have removed it from my phone.
My 1st generation iPhone has been slow ever since I upgraded to 2.0. Meeeee toooooooo!
It seemed to get really slow after I got trigger happy downloading all the free applications on the App Store that my heart desired. So I deleted all but 5 that I use all the time. That helped some but this is so annoying!
I am currently experiencing 3 to 4 second delays when typing, button pushing being completely ignored 2 to 3 times, slow opening of the applications.
Since version 2.0 update my iPhone has slowed, like everyone else’s including my neighbour’s iphone. This is due to crap apple software/hardware as the software requires far more hardware performance than the iPhone currently has due to cost cutting. Apple is shooting itself in the foot by pushing cheap crap software/hardware into the market as everyone will simply flush their iphone and buy better quality items from others.
APPLE SUCKS, as soon as another maker has an alternative I will switch from the POLICE STATE CALLED APPLE, APPLE STANDS FOR SHIT SOFTWARE AND SHIT HARDWARE!!
Very slow. I updated to 2.0 then downgraded to 1.1.4 and it is still very slow.
Reboot seems to fix the problem for a few minutes then it starts being sluggish again.
same here…glad to hear it is not just me, but sorry it is happening to all of you too…it really makes me mad, especially being 8 months pregnant…my patience is already too thin
I don’t have time to wait!!! has anyone found a solution?
3-4 seconds would be luxury. My phone will freeze for half a minute at times without warning.
I have a suspicion that mobileMe is part of it. I don’t think they have resolved how to give the UI priority over the network layer. It really makes the phone non-usable as a phone in business.
I was searching for this issue and see its not just me. You can really notcie this slowness when texting or entering passwords. The password characters actually show on the display for a brief second showing some type of deplay in response.
E-mail downloads take much longer also.
Anyone one know if Apple is addressing this or if there is a fix?
My iPhone is slow to the point of almost not being able to use it ever since the upgrade. I can click on an icon and wait for 30 seconds before it opens. Or it never opens but just goes back to the home screen. In fact, I can dial a number right now without going into a voice mail and pressing “call back”.
This iPhone is a brick - not a phone.
