Now hat I have been running iPhone 3.0 for a whole weekend, I have to
relate that it feels as though I have a new phone!
For one thing, battery life has been greatly extended. Although my
iPhone gets charged in my car while I'm driving, I am nevertheless
used to seeing more black than white in the battery status bar at the
end of the day. This weekend, the battery status bar has been full or
close to full since Friday. At one point I was suspecting an
aberration following the update, so I tested it by playing a few games
which I know chew though the battery in short order. This did nothing
more than shorten the white status bar by a very small fraction.
Unprecedented!
Speaking of games, the ones I tested were ones which also take a long
time (30-60 seconds on iPhone 2). The longest of these took no more
than ten seconds to load with iPhone 3.0.
Running Speed Test (from Speedtest.net) showed download speeds of up
to 6.19 Megabits/sec. The best I could get under iPhone 2 was 2.03 Mb/
s, and generally a lot slower than that (below 1.0 Mb/s)
Are others' experiences the same as mine, or has the download simply
cleared out some lurking bugs and I'm just catching up to everyone else?
