iOS 4 upgrade on a 3G phone?
June 28th, 2010 at 10:28 am ETI’m trying to decide whether to bother with the iOS 4 iPhone upgrade, given that I’m certain to be buying a new phone within a few months. I’ll only get a few of the new features, and there are lots of reports of slowdowns associated with the upgrade.
Relatedly: I did set out to do the upgrade last week, only to find myself stalled during the backup phase like this guy. I’d already concluded that a wipe-and-restore — or, more gently, a “delete all apps, upgrade OS, then restore apps one by one,” assuming it works — would be my next step.
