Having loved the 2.1 and 2.2 update for the iPhone, I thought my iPhone 3G was back in tip-top performance having greatly improved its response and stability (OK, I’ll admit that Safari still crashed now and again… But an improvement!), but Apple just can’t seem to get things in order.
iPhone firmware 2.2 is a fantastic release with some great new features (Street view in the UK, please) but a new bug has raised its ugly head and is another one from the annoying bank.
When you receive certain sized images in your email (typically, images taken from th iPhone Camera), they look perfect. But save those images to your Camera Roll and the image is resampled and appears pixelated and blurred. Not good.
I am sure that this will again be sorted in the next firmware release, but another feature of the iPhone I use regularly has ‘sprung a leak’.
This is the first Apple OSX product I use on a regular basis and I was under the impression that Apple products ‘work’. I have to say I am a bit surprised at the instability. That said, I still would not give up my iPhone for all the nokias in the world! Just wish the firmware testing was improved at Apple.
