It's worth mentioning that when you do an upgrade, the Spotlight process must go out and re-index all of the content on your phone. This is a background process that might take a few hours to complete, especially if you have a lot of content and email.
Most people are saying that after a few hours the phone is noticeably faster or at least back to normal.
I think what is happening here is this background Spotlight index is killing performance right after the upgrade, and people are mistaking this for terrible long term performance.
- agotterer 16y agoThe moment after I upgraded, the phone was completely useless. I restarted twice and it picked up a little speed. Its now 24hours later and its still extremely slow and laggy.
- invisible 16y agoI've always found that for some reason with OSX (which is perhaps somewhat comparable), I get the best results with a fresh install. I think Apple sometimes doesn't do the best housekeeping.
- revetkn 16y agoI've been using 4.0 on my 3G since the initial betas were released. I was hoping the GM version would address the performance issues, but no luck - I've had it installed on my phone since it was released around WWDC, so I don't think this is a Spotlight issue. Glad the iPhone 4 is coming tomorrow; the 3G really is almost unusable for me at this point (Google Maps especially).
