Apple today released the second beta of it’s major iPhone Operating System update. While the first beta brought a great range of new features for end users and developers, it was pretty slow and partially unstable. Not that much of a deal as it’s therefore considered in beta.
- Welcome iPhone OS 3.0
I’m at this moment installing iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 2 to my devices and keep you updated whether speed and stability have been addressed in this second beta release of the greatest mobile OS ever.
Updating failed. iPhone jumped to restore mode. This was an iPhone 3G 16 GB running on Beta 1. No jailbreaks. No unlocks.
Now restoring.. . Restore went just fine. Now trying to restore settings and apps from a OS 3.0 Beta 1 backup.. . Worked fine. So everything is back. Time elapsed: approx. 30 minutes.
Now trying the next device.. . Updated just fine. It’s a straight T-Mobile Germany iPhone 3G 16 GB.
The first thing I notice with Beta 2: I’m perceiving a huge performance increase compared to Beta 1.
I can confirm the Vodafone Germany and the T-Mobile Germany carrier bundle published here work on Beta 2, too.
