iPhone 3G - Update to iOS 5.0.3

Hello everyone,


I have an iPhone 3G as my second phone. I'm aware that the phone is a couple years old.
But the problem is there are a lot of security bugs / leaks / holes in it.

For example: TIFF (image), PDF (documents), WEB pages (safari) are still open for hackers

Hackers can get all information of these devices. Including your passwords, bankaccount info etc etc.


So i want to ask this question:
Can Apple make a light version of iOS 5 with a lot of features disabled ?
Meaning this:
- all leaks, bugs fixed patched

- New icons
- Reminders

- iMessage

- Kiosk
- Sync without cable
- Message center

- Gestures


And it must be very lightweight so the iPhone is fast again in booting up.

Currently i have 4.2.1 and is vulnerable for hackers and it is very very slow.

So if Apple comes up for these people who payed 1000 euro's for the iPhone 3G like i did
And makes a Light version of iOS5 you would make a lot of people happy!!


I think there are still a lot of iPhone 3G users!!

Because for testing purposes i did some tweaks and changes with:


I have now on my iPhone 3G for testing purposes:

- IOS 4.2.1

- Multitask,

- Home Screen wallpaper,
- Rotation-Lock,
- Gamecenter,

- Facetime,

- Internet Tethering,

- Notifications,

- Gestures,


- Boot up time: 53 Seconds (with entering lock code)
- Response time is faster times than iOS 3.1.3 & iOS 4.2.1.

- Free Memory average is 64MB and can reach up to 70.9MB


The things i did !! For testing purposes only !!

I repeat you not to do these things because it is NOT recommended!!
- I've deleted a lot of launchdaemons that where not necessary

- I've deleted a lot of language's from other apps
- I've deleted a couple png's that where shadow's i think 10 pieces
- I've added a dynamic pager


And everything works perfect but it is not allowed.

So i wanna ask if this is possible for Apple to do as a special delivery for the iPhone 3G

users. There are still 35 Million iPhone 3G users out there.


Because if i can do it. Apple can do it better.
