Apple is investigating widespread complaints that the iPhone 3G slows down to a crawl after upgrading to iOS4, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The paper's Digits blog says it's managed to get a response out of Apple's press office. "Apple is aware of the reports and is looking into the matter", it quotes a spokeswoman as saying. So at least Apple is now acknowledging the issue.
The complaints have been widely reported on iPhone blogs and forums and have sparked Apple advert parodies:
The trouble is once iPhone 3G users have upgraded to iOS4, there's no going back. And the strongest advice from experts is "don't upgrade".
If you have already upgraded, turning off Spotlight search may help
Unconfirmed reports say Apple will address the issue in the forthcoming iOS4.1 upgrade.
