Having Problems with Your iPhone 3G and iOS4?

iPhone 3G users who are experiencing sluggish performance and even overheating when using their device with iOS4 will be happy to know that Apple is investigating the cause of the issue.

According to Wall Street Journal Blog Digits, a company spokeswoman told them that they are aware of the issue and are looking into the matter. Complaints on Apple’s support forums have grown to include slowness after the upgrade, quick battery drain as well as the unit getting excessively hot.

I only had my iPhone 3G with iOS4 for about a week or so before I got the iPhone 4, but I didn’t experience the slowness that others have, nor did the phone get any hotter than normal. My battery power level seemed to be about the same but for a 2 year old phone that got heavy use, it wouldn’t be a surprise if it was time to change the battery.

For those that want to dump iOS4, Lifehacker has a tutorial on how to do just that.

We’ll wait and see what apple does to fix this.

Users have been reporting that their free Apple Bumpers have been arriving over at MacRumors. I opted for the Incase iPhone 4 case instead of the black Apple bumper, and those don’t look like they’ll be shipping for another month according to ship status.

In case you didn’t know, Apple has instituted a free case program for all iPhone 4 owners. Simply go to and download the iPhone 4 Case Program App to get your choice of free iPhone 4 case.
