Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) today announced the latest iPhone upgrade: iPhone 3G S. The new hardware offers larger storage options (16 and 32GB), a faster CPU (it now runs at 600MHz), HSDPA support and a better three megapixel camera all for the same price as the current set. The internal system memory has doubled to 256MB as well. The new model can also shoot video at 30 FPS with auto lighting and auto focus, which is something iPhone users have been asking for a long time. Battery life has improved as well: Apple claims the new model can now run 15% to 20% longer per charge. Unfortunately, the battery still isn’t user replaceable.
Engadget has the details and main differences between the old 3G model and the new 3G S. Here's the official Apple specs. Long story short: I won't be upgrading anytime soon. I'm more than happy with my "old" 3G.
Same here. Since I got the OS 3 a few months ago (due to work) I know the OS3 is the only good thing in the 3Gs. I dont be upgrading to the new hardware - no need.
Same here. I don't see that much sense getting a faster device if the network remains the same (and let's be honest: very shitty). I would rather see an AT&T "upgrade". 3G supposed to be a lot faster than EDGE, but honestly, it is not.
