Upgrading to iPhone OS 3 was free for iPhone users. Upgrading to iPhone OS 3 originally cost iPod Touch users $9.95; updating to 3.1.x from 2.x cost only $4.95. iPhone OS 3 was the last major version of iOS for which iPod Touch users had to pay to upgrade. Starting with iOS 4, iOS upgrades became free for all users, including users of the iPod Touch, as the Sarbanes–Oxley Act was revised to allow software upgrades for free with hardware that is not subscription-based. ==Supported devices==

Reception for iPhone OS 3 was overwhelmingly positive, as it addressed nearly all the major functional features that critics had highlighted since the iPhone's debut. However, it was criticized for being slower on older hardware, adding an upgrade fee for iPod touch users, lacking multitasking, and having terrible carrier dependencies. ==References==
