Apple CEO Steve Jobs has purportedly sent an email confirming that Apple will be addressing performance issues with iOS 4.0 on the iPhone 3G in a forthcoming software update.
Last month Apple confirmed that it was looking into reports of performance issues affecting the iPhone 3G. But at the time offered no word of its intentions.
Steve Jobs email in response to a customer simply reads, "Software update coming soon" but offers no further details.
Speculation would suggest that iOS 4.1 which has been in the hands of developers since mid-July will contain the performance enhancements Jobs is referring to. iOS 4.1 is also expected to contain a fix to issues with the proximity sensor on the iPhone 4.
