    iPhone 3G and 3GS battery test: iOS 3 vs iOS 4

    by Australian Macworld staff on 20 July, 2010

    With its slower processor and limited memory, the iPhone 3G doesn’t support all of the new features in iOS 4 — most notably, multitasking. Even with the reduced features, we’ve heard complaints of sluggish performance of iOS 4 on the iPhone 3G. We wondered if battery life was also negatively…

    by Derrick Story on 14 July, 2010
