Iphone 3G no longer supported??

Apple doesn't reply to these threads, but the 3G is no longer supported, as the latest update issued for iPhones was only released to iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 users. The iPhone 3G was released in 2008, so it is a very old phone by technology standards.

The Iphone 3G is no longer supported by Apple?? since the latest os update the iphone 3G no longer supports...anyone from Apple an answer??

No one from Apple will answer you. This is a user to user forum.

What do you mean "no longer supported"?

It no longer can handle the newer software versions.

Is this odd to you that a portable device introduced nearly three years ago would be unable to run the latest software?

I can understand no more updates for 3G cause of its hardware. What I however am having troubles with is that since IOS 4.2.1. the ipod function in my Volvo is rendered useless. See this topic "http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2657752&start=90&tstart =0"

Now I'm not interested in any new gadgets like gamecenter, wireless printing or whatever. I bought my Iphone as a replacement of my Ipod so I'd have phone and Ipod in one. Since IOS 4.3 it is working again. Like I said, new functions don't interest me, I just want the basic ones to work. How hard can it be to issue a 4.2.2 update for 3G users with this fix. It worked on 4.1 it works on 4.3 but it doesn't on 4.2.1.

I'm not intrested in a iphone 4 since my old 3G does the job just fine and hence I see no reason what so ever to spend 700plus Euro's to replace something is ok. Just fix what has obviously been broken by apple.
