Since the release of iOS 4, iPhone 3G users have been complaining about poor performance prompting frustrated users to voice their complaints in videos like the one above. Some of the common problems experienced after installing iOS 4 on the iPhone 3G include overall slow system responsiveness and issues when typing, zooming, and scrolling.

Today, our friends at 9to5mac are reporting that Steve Jobs has responded to a frustrated iPhone 3G user, saying only that there will be a “software update coming soon”.

Below is a snippet of the email sent to Jobs and his response:

“I’ve waited patiently through 4.0.1 and 4.0.2, looking for a fix that will make my phone work again. I’ve read the forums that advise me to jailbreak my phone or use some other method so I can downgrade back to a version of iPhone 3, however I’m not prepared to use a method that is not supported by Apple.”’

Jobs’ response:

Software update coming soon.

    This is like useless cause ios4.XXX will just be replace by a new phone in just a couple of months. Apple is good at making their customers waste their money. Perhaps in juat a short notice they’ll release iphone 4.5g with a price tag of $$$$$$. And yeah, performance issue is a problem when you run ios 4 in iphone3g. How about the super ultimate battery drainage? Good thing there’s jailbrake to fix that
