iOS 4
Good:
- Folders are pretty cool and definitely useful
- Camera speed is INSANELY fast not! BOL folks thought it was iPhone 4 that had the faster phone, but it’s iOS4 that causes the speed, worth the upgrade just for this
- Unified inbox
Bad or So So:
- Allison – “multi-tasking” not as cool as I thought – I keep finding 20 apps waiting, stresses me out!
- Limited fucntionality on 3G – no multitasking, background apps or wallpaper (what’s up with the Wallpaper?)
- Finding it very slow on my iPhone 3G, and battery life has been poor
- 65 security updates in iOS4, but what about iPad and older devices?
- Exchange calendar color issue
iPhone 4
How fun was it to BUY your iPhone 4?
- David Pogue’s explanation of the different discount prices by AT&T: http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/17/how-much-it-costs-to-upgrade-to-an-iphone-3g-s/
Good:
- Dang, that screen be beautiful
- Gyro in one game is pretty darn fun
- Speed
- Camera – w00t!
- Adam’s iMovie 4 example: http://www.youtube.com/user/themaccast
- Allison’s Taco Bell Thursday 720p video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R0Pk4Xreq8
Bad or So So:
- Battery life – unimpressive! – I’ve found battery life to be great.
- Poor reception – dropped calls and 1-2 bars in areas I use to have 4-5 bars and no problem
- No GSM buzz noise when connected to non-shielded speakers
- First iPhone to work with my car audio system w/ iPod dock (Charging not supported – but should be corrected with the PASSport) http://www.scosche.com/products/productID/1667
- Works well with original iPhone dock
- Problems with using a case – won’t fit in the dock!
iPhone Death Grip Problem
- very real. I can watch my iPhone go from 5 to 1 bar.
- Who all is having problems?
- Software vs. Hardware or both?
- Problem persists with MicroCell but seems worse in areas with flakey AT&T coverage (like all of my town.)
- 4.0.1 Coming soon (Monday)
