Thread: Lion, iOS5 and iCloud....sweet!

What model hone? I am afraid to update my 3GS .
Regards Philip A

Me too! The Mrs has a 4, i have a 3GS and am waiting to hear from others before that gets the iOS5 treatment!

Unfortunately trying to run iOS4 on my old 3G is still too much of a painful memory to expose the 3GS to iOS5

On a slightly different note, I understand its a bit easier to rollback iOS5 to 4 than it was 4 to 3 if needs must.

I'm loving it too... Upgraded our households devices last night.

Just upgraded my 3GS this morning. Seems to be working fine.

Thanks. Perhaps you can let us know after the weekend after youve tried it more?

Is email and general performance OK?

Thx
Jon

Seems to be working if anything slightly faster, but then I had no issues when I upgraded to IOS4 despite what others were saying. Will report back after a few days though. I have also just upgraded the iMac, the Macbook Air and the iPad, a couple of iPods still to go.

3GS updated to iOS5 yesterday. No troubles updating, and has been running smoothly. I'd say there is no apparent performance hit moving from iOS4, if anything the upgrade runs smoother.

I have 4 imap email accounts configured and haven't had any issues in that regard.

I'm running iOS 5 on my original iPad (wifi + 3G 64G and my iPhone 4 (my 4S was sent to TNT for delivery yesterday). Very very happy with them.
The girlfriend has it on her 3GS too and also prefers it.

There is a reason why Apple stopped support for the original iPhone and 3G model at iOS 3 - because they lack the internal power for iOS 4.
The 3GS is powerful enough for iOS 5.
