iOS 5

    Kinda old topic but after all this time I still haven't upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS5. I hear it's fine now but was just curious if any iPhone 4 (and not 4S) users here have had any problems.

    I'm usually very cautious to update it, end up waiting a few weeks before I do so (just to be sure it isn't broken). Did the same with 5.0 and 5.0.1, but they both seem to work fine on my iPhone 4. Still haven't tried updating the OS using the actual phone, even if it sounds more convenient.

    I'm always skeptical about updating too, Installed 5.0.1 not too long ago on my iPhone4 (not S) and it runs pretty well, and has some nifty new things. If you don't want to jailbreak, then I recommend.

    I also waited quite some time until I updated to 5.0(.1) so I'm somewhat relieved that there are others out there who do the same. All my friends update their iPhones 2 seconds after the update is released, so I started to feel like a weirdo. :derp: Like HP I've got an iPhone 4 and so far no issues with the new OS!

    Everytime I update anything my phone gets slower, iphone 3g - apple suck they basically force u to buy a newer one ;/

    Yup, I updated my ipod 3 (I think this is the model??) recently to play newer games and now it runs like crap... Still not sure if it's a coincidence or not but the battery life has also gone from lasting a few days to lasting 24 hours o___O It depletes almost completely even if I barely use it during the day.

    This is an older ipod so it may just be the battery reaching the end of its life cycle but it's soo annoying having to buy an entire new product after a few years because of a silly thing such as the battery.

    I have owned my DS for years now and the battery is still as good as it was when I got it...

    No, Apple does it on purpose, it has to, I've experienced this phenomenon too, can't be much of a coincidence, can it? New FW on older hardware is a big no-no, might as well keep the old one.

    I recommend you all stomp on your iphones, and go get a Samsung Galaxy S2.

    Smartest post in this thread, though my opinion is heavily biased.

    It's funny, I've been going around and had similar theories. I remember updating my iPhone 3G to the last iOS update just before the iPhone 4 was released (the one where they introduced multitasking and folders), and it pretty much broke it. Everything was so slow that I'd usually give up doing anything on it. Seems like they should've kept multitasking out of everything below 3GS, the 3G just wasn't suited for it apparently.

    Still ended up buying an iPhone 4 and I love it, so they won

    I must admit, after I've seen the Playstation Emulator for Android I was pretty tempted to make the move sooner than later.

    My PSP already does that. Also, I can play Mega Drive games both on my iphone and ipad.

    When it comes to handhelds, it's no more than self preference, no point in hatin.

    Upgrade to ios 5.0.1, jailbreak, and install the Corona untether in Cydia, and the battery issues go away, or at least they did for me. on 5.0.0 if I didn't plug in before bed my iPod'd be dead in the morning, now it can last 3-4 days.

    Why not jailbreak?
