The iPhone 3G came preloaded with the latest version of iPhone OS, and continued to receive updates to its software for over two years, with major iterations released on an annual basis. However, the phone had access to a decreasing proportion of new features with each update as its hardware became superseded by later models.
At launch in July 2008, the iPhone 3G came preloaded with iPhone OS 2.0. This introduced the App Store, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support, Apple’s MobileMe service, and push email support, along with other new features and bug fixes.
In June 2009, iPhone 3G users received the iPhone OS 3.0 software update, which introduced the long-awaited MMS feature, copy and paste, landscape support for more applications, Bluetooth stereo support, and other improvements.
In June 2010, Apple released the iOS 4.0 software update. Unlike its successor models, the iPhone 3G does not support important features of iOS 4.0 such as multitasking, the ability to set a home screen wallpaper, or Bluetooth keyboard support. However, it does provide access to a unified mailbox feature, homescreen folders to better organize apps, playlist creation, and other enhancements. This update was widely criticized for slow performance on iPhone 3G, though September 2010's iOS 4.1 release improved this problem. However, unlike more modern iOS devices, this update again does not provide iPhone 3G owners with access to important features, in this case the Game Center application.[14]
On November 22, 2010, the iPhone 3G received the iOS 4.2 software update, which introduced features such as YouTube voting, and security fixes. However, the iPhone 3G is unable to use many features included in this update, such as AirPlay and Safari Text Search.
The last release of iOS to support the 3G model is 4.2.1, released on November 22, 2010. iOS 4.3, released on March 11, 2011, does not support the iPhone 3G, with Apple discontinuing further updates, due to hardware limitations and performance issues.[15]
