With the 2.1 iPhone firmware update, one of the most exciting bug fix for me was the faster backup speeds. I am in need of this because I am always restoring for numerous reasons and I never wait for my backup to complete. I decided to test this out today and I got some amazing results (see video).
I put about 800 sons + 12 apps on my iPhone. That includes large applications such as Super Monkey Ball and Texas Holdem. This took up about 5GB of space. As you can see my backup is extremely fast. If I were to do this with 2.0.2 it would have been a totally different result.
The only thing I cannot test is what the results would be like with a brand new iPhone. If someone did not update to 2.1, but instead restore, I would be interested in their backup speeds. Please comment if you could do that.
