Hey guys,
I recently dropped and shattered the screen of my iPhone 3G (16 GB), which I originally purchased in September '08. To replace it, I bought a brand new 3G from the AT&T store -- but this time I got the 8 GB version.
Almost immediately after using it for the first time, I noticed that the display/fonts looked slightly different than they did on my old phone. Seems like the font looks a little fatter and fuzzier (i.e., not as sharp/clear).
Does anyone know if Apple changed the display in some way on more newly manufactured 3G's? Or does the display on the 8 GB differ in some way from that of the 16 GB (seems unlikely, but who knows?)?
It also seems that my new phone is running substantially slower than my old one -- music is frequently interrupted when using apps, apps seem to load/operate more slowly, and it seems to have more problems loading webpages (it's not terrible -- just seems to stall significantly more than my old one). Is this because it's an 8 GB instead of 16? Any other ideas as to what could account for it?
Edit: I should add that last Saturday, my new phone completely locked up. When I tried a hard reboot, it acted like it was rebooting but never made it past the Apple logo screen. I tried rebooting several times to no avail. I finally turned it off entirely and let it sit for half an hour or so after which it booted and functioned normally.
Any help would be much appreciated.
