Iphone 3Gs upgraded IOS
« on: September 25, 2012, 10:14:11 AM »
Not sure who has one or has been curious to upgrade to the new IOS 6, but I did it last night and the phone seems faster than before. The net loads faster. It has a few things new but not all the new 6 goodies. Cloud is now available and the lock screen has a cool direct 2 camera swipe so you can get to it faster. I read a ton before doing the upgrade on how 5 was a dog and killed the battery and made it run slow so was hesitant. Been running 4.2 since I bought it in '09. So for those who have one and have thought about the upgrade, so far so good.
I've grown tired of this.

I did mine the other day. Seems fine. No real difference that I can see other than the new apps.

I jailbroke mine, so I don't do the upgrades anymore.

I am not biased to either platform but I love my I phone. Have had this 3GS for over 3 years and it works great. Each platform has there quirks though but I am not a phone nerd! Those people that wig out and stand in line for days waiting on an iphone 5 are plain stupid.

I have had both. I really cant say one it better than the other. The are the same. I dont really use a smart phone like they are supposed to be used for anyway. That could be why I feel this way. Its probably strange that a 23 year old could care less. I really just want the thing to make phone calls.

How is the new Maps app?  It's no longer Google maps, it's Apple's own mapping app.  I've read bad things...

I had heard bad things as well but I like it. I have used it and also like the turn by turn directions better.

It is basically a copy of google. Has turn by turn and such. On newer 5 phones I think it has a 3d function to show side views and such. But have not used the directions yet for anything. Will do for gulches.
