Many people noticed the difference when they installed iOS 4.0 / iOS 4.1 on their iPhone 3G, performance was extremely poor and most people decided to downgrade to version 3.x, whilst the iPhone 4 came out of the box with iOS 4, therefore ran it without an issue.

A video recently posted on RedmondPie shows iOS 4.2 running on the iPhone 3G, we have embedded it below and you can clearly see that performance is much, much better, there is still a little lag, however I think most iPhone 3G owners will be happy with the update.

To be honest with you I would install iOS 4.2 on my iPhone 3G if I had one, will you?

Apple is now involved in a class action lawsuit, where they have been accused of crippling both the 3G and 3GS – now known as iBrick – intentionally with the iOS 4 update. The lawsuit claims that Apple did this to force them to upgrade to the new iPhone 4.

According to a report from The Mac Observer, one of the claims states that the previous iPhones are “little more use than that of a paper weight.” The lawsuit also claims that Apple knew this, but still did this in order to increase sales of their new fourth-generation iPhone.

What made the matter worse was the fact that 3G and 3GS owners are unable to restore to the older version of iPhone OS. This is a tough one for Apple, one that they need to handle carefully in order to keep their customers happy.

What do you think Apple should do?
