iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS: Final Impressions and Performance
31.12.69
Shortly after Apple released iOS 5 , I loaded it up onto my iPhone 3GS and expected a chaotic, sluggish experience. However, as you might know, my first impressions of iOS 5 were much different . I was pleasantly surprised with how well the software ran on my two year old phone and I began recommending the software to everyone I know who owns an iPhone 3GS.
So, three people.
Since then, more than a few of you have written in to me describing your experiences with iOS 5 and your iPhone 3GS. A good portion of you had similar experiences to mine. A terrible installation process followed by sweet relief.
Others had issues. For the most part, they had to do with battery drain, the fact that some applications were missing after installation ( this can be remedied ), the lack of Siri, and just overall sluggishness.
All of that, of course, came mere hours after the update was released and I wanted to come back and see how you guys were faring with the update and also fill you in on my experience has been two weeks after release.
