iOS 4 performance on older devices (updated)

By | June 21, 2010, 12:26pm PDT

Summary: Apple’s iOS 4 is out and while it will work on devices as far back as the iPhone 3G, some users are reporting sub-par performance on older devices.

Apple’s iOS 4 (formerly iPhone OS 4) is out and has a ton of new features including multi-tasking, folders, a richer email client (with a true universal inbox) and iBooks. While it runs great on the iPhone 3GS (and presumably, the iPhone 4) performances issues arise when running the new OS on older devices.

Some readers have emailed me their concerns with running the new OS on the soon to be two-generation old iPhone 3G - released in 2008. One reader expresses his concern that iOS 4 running on the iPhone 3G is a “poor combination:”

It is especially bad when network access is active, where keyboard presentation, tapped key response, or screen updates come to a halt.

The map refreshes are very slow, even the unlock is messed up. Often an unlock will jump to the current screen before the sllider moves across the screen. This is not a faster than expected result, it can 5 seconds or more for the unlock to occur staring at the slider. One will question if the gesture was recognized by the phone.

I’ve been testing the OS since beta 3, some improvement in speed, definite improvement in reliability, but sluggish is the best description of the performance.

I previously blogged that part of the problem could be due to insufficient RAM. The iPhone 4 ships with a whopping 512MB RAM, while the iPhone 3GS with 256MB. The lowly iPhone 3G, on the other hand, comes with only 128MB — one fourth of what ships with the latest model.

In its compatibility statement, Apple says that iOS 4 works with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G. Adding that “not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking is available only with iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.”

Translation: it will work on the iPhone 3G but don’t have high expectations.

Update: Another comment:

Another note, the iPod Touch 2nd gen device running the same OS is fairing better, I suspect that the lack of phone features trims the OS demand for realtime background processing, allowing that platform to run as fast as before. But I see little benefit to the OS upgrade on that platform for now, until perhaps Skype gets released and iBooks appears on it (also missing from the GM).

Got it installed, no major issues as yet. It looks like some software will need to be upgraded for the new OS though. I had one unexpected reboot, let's hope that won't be a common issue needing an update to fix. I'm running on a 3GS 16GB. Love folders and the email update.

In other words multitasking done right was actually hardware done right which everyone else had already done by now. I have been LMAO at all the iFools swearing Jobs created some new form of multitasking by waving his hands. In reality all he did was up the hardware specs to get it done. It also shows that if the earlier iPhones actually tried to do what the Android devices were doing from day one they'd crash.

Android came out what a couple years after the original
James Quinn 21st Jun 2010
@storm14k
iPhone maybe close to three actually right? So that gives them a few years of tech improvements maybe even memory for such devices prices going down? How much memory did the first Android enabled devices come with? Like any tech it's ALWAYS easier the second time around when shown the way but the likes of Apple:P

@James Quinn The first Android devices came with about as much memory as the iPhone of the time had. The point is that while the Android devices ran with these features though they were sluggish at times were usable. It looks like the iPhone simply could not have handled the features.

Now thats fine and all but the other point is that Jobs is claiming they have done some real work with their software when they haven't. They have the same thing now that other platforms have had all along and just upped the hardware specs to handle it. Just call it what it is....thats all I'm saying. Theres nothing magical about catching up in hardware specs.

Apple's Careful Match of H/W + S/W; Android's Initial Mix'n'non-Match
WaltFrench@... Updated - 22nd Jun 2010
@James Quinn: From Wikipedia: "The first phone to run the Android operating system was the HTC Dream, released on 22 October 2008." It had comparable RAM and CPU speed to the 3GS that bowed a bit later.

I didn't find other Android devices of that era.

Wikipedia says that T-Mo -- the Dream's primary seller -- celebrated the sale of a million units about a year ago. It also rolled out in Europe & Canada, then seems to have been succeeded later in 2009.

A million units is not inconsiderable, but it's also nowhere near the acceptance that Apple enjoyed at the time. Not having paid attention to the rather ugly, slow devices that competed back then (the Dream is both), I have no idea whether slow and fussy multi-tasking contributed to the tepid user reaction, or it was an awful software stack, or inexperience working with carriers. (I was a T-Mo user about then and found their voice+data package pretty good.)

So I endorse your argument: initial Android devices were pretty thin soup, even compared to iPhones of 16 months earlier, and their OS was ill-fitted to the available hardware, being more of a demo of what was to come. (Android's a nice fit for today's devices, IMHO.)

In contrast, storm14k is blowing smoke by saying that Apple's HUGE amount of work with their very polished iOS didn't help contribute to its capturing half of today's smartphone usage (ultraportables' page hits).

Further, he/she is just dead wrong in saying that Apple needs a half GB of RAM to multitask, as the 3GS, even with its slower CPU, proves. (The Fall release of iOS4 for iPad will also show how nicely you can work in 256MB.)

Finally, in ignoring the careful user-experience tuning that Apple does -- say, the detail disclosed today that the 3G isn't fast enough to slide icons *with visually-helpful drop shadows* over wallpaper, so that feature is reserved for the 3GS and faster -- he/she is proving how much the Android people don't understand why regular people find their iPhones fun, and see their friends' Crackberries and WinMos as dinosaurs, their Palm and Android phones more like technology demos.

Even more pathetic when you look at what was done on WM
NonZealot 21st Jun 2010
@storm14k
Multi-tasking worked great on 2003 era hardware with Windows Mobile. That Apple couldn't do it on 2009 era hardware is just downright embarrassing.

I also liked the apology from the Apple zealots that tech is easier when someone else does it first and then the suggestion that Apple was somehow "first" with smartphones. The suggestion that Android was a copy of iPhone is just hilarious. Apple hasn't been first with anything. They had to copy the tablet, the smartphone, and the MP3 player from the true innovators who came first.

My point was that others did it wrong. It took Apple
James Quinn 21st Jun 2010
@NonZealot
To blaze the correct trail and then others began to follow. Yup there were smartphones like WM but not impressive. Then came the iPhone without multitasking and impressive it was indeed. I can say that because well WM went nowhere fast and the iPhone moved from Zero market share to well it is increasing still so who knows. I can also say this because after the iPhone made it's impression others like RIM and such began to bring their iPhone wanna be's out. However the first batch were much less impressive than Google and it's Android I must admit. The BB Storm? More like the BB Drizzle but it did have very obviously shades of the iPhone:P

Same with the other deices you mentioned you are correct they were around before Apple but seriously nobody cared and for good reason they were not very good or from another view when Apple entered the market they came out with a device that WAS interesting as apposed to those who just did not do it right.

@Ken_z The response I have seen to these iPhone problems brings into question just how many problems have these other smartphones actually had. When you see a site like Engadget talk about it what do you see? You see them claim that they have been getting hammered with reports of problems but if you look at the comments you see hardly anyone with the actual problem. Now go over there and see this iPhone problem. Theres barely a comment where someone isn't confirming that the issues are true....the same for other iPhone sites I've seen. It seems to me like some sites are hunting for problems in other platforms and running with them. Ironically they can't run FROM the problems the iPhone is facing now.

Foolish Assertions
WaltFrench@... Updated - 22nd Jun 2010
@storm14k said, "if the earlier iPhones actually tried to do what the Android devices were doing from day one they'd crash."

That's probably correct: the 2007 iPhone had 128MB of RAM -- twice the 64MB that the market-defining Blackberries had, and part of the iPhone's problem image of being a high-priced device. Of course, Android devices in 2007 had ZERO MB of RAM stock. Android Inc had only been bought by Google in 2005, too early to have gotten anything shipped.

In the 2009 3GS, RAM is up to 256MB. Those machines, as of yesterday, do the very kind of restricted multi-tasking that Android encourages for better performance, but does not enforce. But Apple doesn't attempt to multitask on my 3G, a slower, 2008 vintage device. Again, the 2008 vintage Androids don't multi-task AT ALL because there aren't any.

I'm all impressed by the many real innovations at Android but amazed that so many fools think newer, costlier devices somehow represent superior engineering. The 2010 Cadillac Esplanade has lots of neat cupholders and other convenience that the original Porsche 911 lacks, but it's the 911 that makes the Car of the Century list, while nobody even nominated any Cadillac. Android has lots of neat features, too, but about 3 people in total would've bought them if introduced in the time frame that you're laughing about.

"In reality all [Jobs] did was up the hardware specs to get [multitasking] done." Just plain FALSE. Apple has a history, going back to the Apple ][, of not throwing a ton of hardware at problems in an effort to get something out the door. While more hardware is obviously better, iOS4 really does multi-task well, with protection from excess battery drain, on real-world 256MB RAM machines.

We'll see reports on the 3GS, and this fall we'll see reports on how well multitasking works with the current iPad, also a 256MB device but with a faster CPU. From my modest experience as a developer, I expect nobody to complain.

Good to see people in such high spirits, but in trying to show how clever you are, you just make it seem like Android-boosting is all a way of bragging, "I'm more clever than you Apple sheep," the most offensive way to prove how totally wrong you are.

3GS 16gb here - can anyone else confirm for me that the text, especially on the home screens, looks clearer? I'm presuming this is partly because of the background imagery now, but I'm wondering if the iPhone equivalent of ClearType has been upgraded - it definitely looks sharper!

RDF will make 480*320 look clear and sharp for you... as long as it is an Apple device at 480*320. Now that the iPhone has 960*640, all other smartphones with a measly 480*320 will be made fun of by Apple zealots everywhere, forgetting that it used to be Apple trailing the resolution wars.

So far I have installed it on two older 3G models and 1 iTough 3rdGen.

Performance on the 3G so far is hard to get a good handle on due to the number of bugs.
see http://forum.tipb.com/iphone-forum/192085-ios-4-issues-bugs.html for a good bug blog.

You might want to avoid on 3G phones
Asokker 21st Jun 2010
I've been running 4 since beta 1 on several 3G and 3Gs devices. It got really bad on the 3G for a while, but the last beta and the final build were at least usable on the 3G. Even the final build is all-around slower than 3.1.x. On the 3G, there are many times the phone just seizes up for 5 or so seconds, and I want to chuck it out the window. Just unlocking the phone, using maps, launching apps - they are all slower and stall at times. Some of my games (Angry Birds is one of them) stutter along - very annoying.

On the 3Gs, things are much, much better. The 4.0 OS really shines there. I'm guessing 4.0 is still slightly slower than 3.1.x, but it is not noticeable and the new features in 4 make it all worth it.

So, my advice to is that the 4.0 update is no-brainer for 3Gs users, but if you have a 3G, get a friend to update first and ask them how it went happy. Since multi-tasking doesn't work on the 3G, the only cool stuff (to me) I've found on the 3G is icon folders and "all inboxes" for email (if you have multiple email accounts).

NonZ has put up with MS having to take at least 4 to as many as 5 versions of many products it's introduced over the years and complains when he thinks Apple took 4 attempts to get one product right? Disregarding the fact that most people and critics don't think the original iPhone was a failure in the LEAST! Not like IE 1.0, Windows 1.0, MS Word 1.0, MS Excel 1.0 and the list goes on and on and on. After all after the iPhone 1.0 was released you could see companies soon after coming out with iPhone wanna be's. On the other hand when MS came out with Windows 1.0 nobody and I mean nobody was tripping over themselves to make a Windows 1.0 like OS. Nobody cared to copy MS Word 1.0 Word Perfect and even Word Star were MUCH better products. Again the examples go on and on and on. So no comparison but NonZ is kind of the Queen of this kind of silliness:P

I am an iPhone owner. I don't get 'hurt' when people criticise Apple. There are things that I don't like about Apple and it's products, much the same as there are things that I don't like about other companies and their products. I don't like Apple fans that defend Apple and their products, and criticise other products, in a biased and unbalanced fashion. But if there is one thing I can't stand more it's people like yourself who do the exact same biased thing, but from the other side of the fence. Those are some pretty general and sweeping comments you are making about 'iDummy's' etc.

iPhone 3G here - iOS 4 definitely problematic
TheWerewolf 21st Jun 2010
It's noticably slower.
It tends to stall a lot.
The phone radio is even FLAKIER than before - and that's saying something.
Apps seems take less time to get the 'holding' page (the static graphic that looks like a real page that's first loaded), but then it can be glacial to get to a working point.
Bluetooth seems wonky.
If you have a car with Sync and you have your iPhone regstered with it on Bluetooth, it now autostarts music play (not a problem on 3.1.3).
BT keyboard doesn't seem to work (and this is with Apple's own BT wireless keyboard).

And for all that - the only features we get are digital zoom in the camera app, unified mailbox (kinda) and ... err... got me.

Worst upgrade EVER.

the best way to upgrade your 3G is to download the update 4 but don't install immediately. Do a backup then hit restore.
It will wipe the phone and restore the clean 4 update. Then backup again and you will be up and running inside an hour. This way its as fast as 3 was. All I 'lost' was my music from the phone which I resynced in minutes.

Having been testing iOS 4 since beta one, it's come a long ways. In the first and second builds, iPod controls were gone all together, I think it was in beta 3 they were put to the left of the app switcher.

They've changed the way multitasking works, and how it looks to the end user, and by far the finished product is amazing.

I'm using a 32GB iPhone 3GS, with Mac OS 10.6.3 (I'm not upgrading to 10.6.4 - I made that mistake already; the GPU drivers are horribly messed up, from a developer's point of view) and I've had few problems with iOS 4; everything's speedy and very functional.

For my purposes, I don't see any reason to move to iPhone 4 yet - my 3GS is holding up remarkably well.

After IOS4 update, my iPhone was sluggish x10! I left my house, turned off wireless, and it perked right up (even just on 3G). Long story short: I renewed the lease with my wireless router, and all is well now. I have no idea why THAT was the issue, but it clearly was for me, and now my 3GS runs faster than ever.

Well I have had the iPhone 3GS 32 GB a year.

During that time, as a gadget freak, I have bought a variety of S60/ Maemo/android phones (from ebay) to try them out, including the Nokia N97 smartphone, N900 Maemo OS phone, and, the best I have had..the Motolola Milestone (UK Droid).

The Milestone was a good phone, fun to use, but had a crap camera (nowhere near as good as my Nokia N95 8gb even though on paper it should be). I waited until the 2.1 upgrade, but I still got lots of crashes, locks and bad pictures. I resold it on ebay (lost ?40) but it wasn't polished enough.

Just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.0, no crashes, camera faster and nice clear shots (but obviously no flash), folders work well and it is fast and responsive.

I hate to say it, but iPhone still has the edge, and the iPhone 4 (if its implemented as well as the 3 was, is likely to retain the edge for a while yet despite its shortcomings though Android is at its heels --I hate the lack of flash !)

To be clear, I am not an apple fanboy (having owned Sony (great phones), Nokia also good, motorola and Samsung plus using a blackberry for work). But at the end of the day I want a phone that works reliably, does what it says on the box (even if it says it wont do some things I want such as flash) and doesn't lock continually.

I have a year until my upgrade, I will see what comes along by then to decide whether I go iPhone 4 or for the latest Android (Droid X ?)

3G iOS4 = unusably slow
jonathan111 27th Jun 2010
When prompted by iTunes to upgrade my 3G to iOS4, i accepted. Post upgrade, the 3G phone is unbearably slow, and virtually unusable, as described in your article. Apple support was aware of it, but had no suggestions, and hinted at using the hacker's approach to downgrading to 3.1.3. I did downgrade, but for some reason, performance -- while improved -- is much worse than it was before the iOS4 upgrade. Bad stuff.

When I type in a word, the first letter gets bigger and then holds for about a second and then each letter slowly pops up in sequence. Numerous crashes. SkyWatch reported low memory last night, first time I've seen that. Very disappointed with performance. I was going to move to an iPhone 4 and my wife, not a heavy user at all, would take the 3G. I am calling to cancel my iPhone 4 preorder today after seeing video of the reception fail. I use the phone primarily for business and cannot have it losing reception on me.

3G performance was intentionally decreased by power management which causes low graphics and CPU performance everywhere in the OS (apps and games and even Springboard). The good part here is that battery lasts almost twice longer than it lasted with 3.1.3 firmware. So here you go, the answer to 3G slowness. IMO apple made it like this to make 3G unusable device and force 3G owners to buy new phone. I am 3G ownder and will buy iPhone 4 when it gets available in my country, but i hate to be forced to do things like this.
