A short parody ad about iOS 4.0 running slowly on the 3G iPhone, made by a disappointed Apple customer.

Why Hacker News points people here: HN mentions it mostly as a joke or illustration of new iOS versions slowing older iPhones.

>Who said anything about Netscape? You did, in a way. By saying this: >>I think Microsoft's view of software quality has contaminated the industry. >They couldn't hire programmers to correctly implement their own spec years after it being published? Throwing bodies at something doesn't make it right in software engineering. Haven't you heard of bugs and issues in Google's or Apple's products? After all, Apple is a bigger company now. I was going to link to some Apple bugs but Apple Discussions was down (cue 'why can't a 200+ billion company keep their forums up? Can't they hire more people to fix it?' ) Unable to add beyond 100 pages to document(maybe they need to hire more people to hit 200?) link link this video

For reference, this is what happens when you try to put new versions of iOS on older iPhones: this video I think you have your argument reversed. You're beholden to Apple for all your product updates. With an Android phone you're free to update with whatever ROM you feel like (official from the manufacturer or not).

Reports show that it is no faster, unfortunately. If you haven't seen it, here's a parody of the original iPhone commercial showing a 3G on iOS4: this video
