Apple Releases iOS 4.3.3 With Location Tracking Bug Fixes

CleverTrousers said:
Um, so my girlfriend and I have both have the iPhone 3G. We have the same tracking issue by virtue of being on iOS 4.x - but at the current highest OS level for this model, 4.2.1, we don't get a "fix?"

Nope, your device is no longer supported by apple.

Agreed - what about iPhone 3G users, the sorry lot of us that still exist.
 
I'm just hoping for a fix to a reauthentication bug that has been dealing me fits with the iPad 2 and the last update. I travel a lot and joining hotel wifi and maintaining a connection has been a pain in the you know what the last few weeks.

That's not a good argument. You forget that this is not a feature. It's a matter of privacy and how iOS uses your data.

So, to me, Apple must give a fix to 3G users too. They can send iPhone 3G users a 4.2.2 for example.

wtf apple? I remember the day I bought my iphone 4 and it works blazing fast, and now it's getting slower and with choppy animation, with every update. Is it apple preparing us for super fast iphone 5?
 
I don't know about you guys, but on my iPhone 4 battery life has been great since 4.3.2 - best of any 4.x updates. Let's hope 4.3.3 doesn't break it, or I'll be really pissed.

wtf is exactly what i've been saying for a while.

I hate to think that Apple intentionally leaves these issues unaddressed so that you fall for the idea that "maybe the iPhone 5 will run current software better".

But that's exactly what they do. They leave these goose eggs to annoy the user who notices such things, who are coincidentally the same people who will buy a new iPhone to fix lag issues.

I've owned every iPhone, and every new iPhone running X.0, runs beautifully, only to be slowed down and negatively effected by every single interim update.

I'd call it lazy instead of easier. They could easily detect the current version installed and download the approriate patch, or fall back to the whole OS if it's not the most recent update.

The explain to us, why are you still updating? Incremental updates are usually not worth the trouble.

so, have you ever owned a computer before? because thats the exact same thing that happens to any OS ive ever worked with. the more that is added to an OS, the slower it gets. the more a machine/device is used, the slower it gets.

such is life. wipe it and see if that helps. or look for a phone that runs on Unicorn Powder, im sure it wont have this problem.

One thing that i learned with Apple. Never update to a major os versions from factory.

This would be a much better option if far too many developers didn't default to setting the 'required OS' for their new apps to whatever the most recent update was regardless of whether they need the features or not. It starts getting annoying a few weeks after an update when you can't install apps because you're not running the newest firmware...

Newer updates contain newer features (that the Apps might require to run) as well as essential security fixes. Running an older iOS version (as with any OS) is simply ill advised.
