Is iOS 4.3.1 still sluggish on iPhone 3Gs?

Can anyone please confirm?

Well I'm still testing, but so far still looks crap to me.
It seems the opening animation is still horrible, but on most apps the second time you open an app (if it is already loaded) its smooth. This tells me when you first hit an app that it's loading is interfering with the animation. (never did this before 4.3)
The ipod app is still glitchy animation wise, and settings still has a second or so pause before appearing.
The camera app openeing speed seems to have improved a little though, but the double tap to reveal background tasks is totally inconsistant. (pause before doing anything, then glitchy crappy animation on screen move up).
Ultimately, I think that this is just a case of apple dumping the 3gs, and 'pushing' people to get a more powerful iphone (4 or even 5 later this year). The update doesn't even mention 3gs stability in the release notes, so Apple either basically have their head in the sand, or as I expect, just don't give a crap.
Will test some more, but this isn't looking good.

  • Do I need to assign a name to both my iphones? I just got an iPhone 5, BUT I still use my iPhone 3GS as a camera

    Do I need assign a name to both my iphones? I just got an iPhone 5, BUT I still use my iPhone 3GS as a camera & iPod, and will need to back it up and sync it occassionally, I have NOT named either phone yet, they are recognized only as "owner's iphone".
    NOTE: I HAVE A P.C.
    Is there any danger of not naming them, and itunes confusing them, and gathering wrong backup info, etc.
    ALSO....Does turning the volume all the way down silence all phone sounds? In other words before I sleep, do I need to click that little switch on the left side of the phone to achieve complete silence, if so, is there an INTERNAL way to do this so I don't have to push my finger in there through my otter box case to turn it off.?
    I have AT&T on my iPhone 5, and I was wondering if there was a way to save my voicemails permanently somewhere, because they get erased by AT&T every 14 days.
    ALSO.....How do I manage my 20,000 photos, in "my pictures" in my PC, shall I have one folder which has ALL of photos ALL OF THEM.........In sequence and then create dozens of other folders by event, catagory, etc. I get SO CONFUSED on what to do with my photos, what is THE BEST WAY to keep them organized.
    Thank You Very Much,

  • I want to buy a appleTV but still have a iphone 3gs. Will everything work as with a iphone4?

    I really want to buy a appletv but still have a iphone 3gs. I want to know if everything will work the same as if using it with a iphone 4 (photos, videos, music etc.)

    Speed might not be optimal, but you'd be best using home sharing from a computer and controlling your Apple TV with the Remote app anyway.
    The direct answer to your question is yes, it will work.

  • HT3406 The instructions are not clear. I am still using the iPhone 3GS. I am considering switching to a different carrier. How will I use it as an iPod touch then?

    The instructions are not clear. I am still using the iPhone 3GS. I am considering switching to a different carrier with a different phone. Can I continue to use my iPhone 3GS as an iPod touch?

    Once you have activated your new phone, you old phone won't have cellular data.
    Then restore your old phone using itunes,  then sync your music to it.

  • Is it possible to restore an iPhone 4s with iOS 7 from a backup of an iPhone 3GS that uses iOS 6?

    So for Christmas I am upgrading to a new iPhone and so therefore I am giving my iPhone 4s to my younger brother. He currently uses an iPhone 3GS with iOS 6 installed. I currently have iOS 7 installed on the iPhone 4s but am considering upgrading to iOS 8.1.1. I was wondering if it is possible to when restoring my iPhone 4s to then set it up from the back up of the iPhone 3GS that runs iOS 6, when they run on different operating system updates. Will it work when the iPhone 4s is running iOS 7 or iOS 8, or both, or neither?
    Thank you.

    Yes, but the reverse won’t work.

  • HT4623 Can I still update my iPhone 3GS wirelessly?

    How do I update my iPhone 3GS wirelessly. There's no "software update" in settings

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Hi,
    Connect your iPhone to your computer. Launch iTunes. Make sure you see your iPad under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window.
    Now click the Summary tab from the menu and click Check for Update.
