Apple announces iPhone 3G S

At the WWDC today, Apple announced their 3rd generation phone — the iPhone 3GS.

Here are some of the major addition and improvements over the iPhone 3G.

Yugatech 728x90 Reno7 Series

HSDPA up to 7.2Mbps

3 megapixel camera, autofocus and 30fps video recording

longer battery life (up to 5 hours 3G talk time, 9 hours of WiFi, and 10 hours on video playback)

built-in Digital Compass

Voice Control

iphone 3gs

Apple didn’t categorically say this but they must have also put in a faster processor that effectively speeds up the applications to twice that of the iPhone 3G. The old iPhone 3G also had 3 hours talk time and 6 hours on WiFi so battery life has been improved by 40-50% longer.

16GB iPhone 3GS – $199 on AT&T with new subscription ($599 on pre-paid)

32GB iPhone 3GS – $299 on AT&T with new subscription ($699 on pre-paid)

So if you’re wondering what will the prices look like when it hits Globe Telecom – my guess is that it will be the same as the one when the iPhone 3G was first launched in the Philippines (Php34,000 to Php39,000-ish).

MMS and tethering will also be supported by selected telcos and Globe is on that list (as shown in the presentation).

The new iPhone 3GS will be available on June 19, 2009 (okay, this will surely drown-out the buzz on the release of the Nokia N97 the week after).

    When I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there any way you may remove me from that service? Thanks!

    I have checked some other posts and remarks which are generally in accord with Apple announces iPhone 3G S but I have to acknowledge that this article has some extra data. I’m unambiguous and truthful, that way everybody knows what I feel.

    naku, kaka-pareserve lang namin sa GLOBE TELECOMS at ang sabi nila is indefinite ang arrival ng 3Gs stocks dito sa pilipinas… as in mga 4-5months daw bago dumating ang new stocks kasi sobrang “Out-of-Stock” talaga ang 3Gs..

    grabe!

    just got my iphone 3gs last 2 weeks…worth the price..i bought it for the price of 42000 pesos and its factory unlocked pa…im satisfied with it..the only disappointing matter is that iphone 3g and 3gs has no difference at all when it comes to their physique..so, whenver ur outside or in a party, no one can ever distinguish whether u’ve got an iphone 3g or an iphone 3gs..wew
