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.
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
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).
if you bought the oLd one, can it be upgrade? and have a video recording and a compass? tnx
This SUCKS! Bigtime….!!! What a rip OFF!!! I just bought my iPhone 3g barely a month and they are going to release thie new iPhone 32gig….! the only consolation is that the upgrate for current 3g is free but it’s still a Big Time Sucker!!!
Jaypee you can’t get mad at Apple if they decide to release a new iphone. You bought yours just a month ago but it was released already for a year now. It’s not their fault lol.
COME ON.. ON OCTOBER APPLE WILL RELEASE A NEW IPHONE AGAIN.. SURE, BUY ONE AND LET APPLE STEAL MORE MONEY… LOL FLAME ON ME BITCHES
Another price update. This is according to a Globe Executive.
iPhone 3G 8GB: around 20k-35k for the prepaid, around 25k-29k for Plan 399(the lowest iPhone plan)
iPhone 3G S 16GB: will inherit the iPhone 3G 8GB’s current price for both prepaid and postpaid
iPhone 3G S 32GB: will inherit the iPhone 3G 16GB’s current price for both prepaid and postpaid
- this is not yet final according to the Globe Executive
reposting Justins msg, if it we/re true then the iphone 3G S will be for 43,799 and 38,450 for a plan
im thinking of getting the HTC touch since july pa pala available satin tong iphone 3G S, saka masyadong mahal 48K for something na if you order through US 699 in peso 32k something lang, rip off naman yan globe!
so, when will this thing be here in the Philippines?…tnx
im not kidding, ON OCTOBER THEY WILL RELEASE 1 AGAIN! THOUGH I ALREADY BOUGHT A 3G S FROM AT&T
ya’ya’ lang bogan ninyo da! $99 with plan??? soloha, no video capability pa… sa NOKIA 5800 na lng ko oy! pagkalooy ni poloy! there are better cheaper clones around, unlocked and double sim. why allow yuorself to be deceived?
The price of the latest 3G 8GB iphone at$99 including a plan stems from a decission of a man with a problem about his liver. People with liver problems always decides without thinking about the gadget and the realiies of the times. Thats the disadvantage sorrounding unhealthy CEOS. They tend to overprice things. The right price of that gadget is $75 unlocked.
Finally, dumating din sa Pilipinas ang bagong iPhone! Yipee! Super tagal ko na hinihintay ‘to. Thanks, Globe! I’m upgrading from my old iPhone to the new iPhone 3Gs. I’ve read the reviews and found out na mas mabilis nga ‘to than the old model. Mas mahaba rin ang battery life ngayon The best thing: maraming plans inooffer ang Globe ngayon. More options for me and my gadget-crazy friends haha.
any info..if it’s possible to use here iphone 3Gs bought in australia…if its open line?
and how much are the charges, if will use smart service?
thanks
Apple make money selling TURDS to a lot of i-Diots! How sad.
Does the 3GS come with a douchebag package common to all apple customers?
i’m also interested to know whether an open-line iphone 3G S will work okay in the philippines on the smart network. i guess the answer is that it should be okay but confirmation would be good . . .

KEep me posted, please… c”,)
Anu ba naman yan! ilalagay nila sa sa mga page $199-$299 tapus di pa naka-specify kung yun ba talaga ang price… sana yung klaro ang advertisement…
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
where can i buy samsung omnia b7610 here in the philippines? i wonder how much it would be.
Ryan Giggs >> where can I buy samsung omnia B7610 here in Manila?
i think wala pa dito sa philippines yang samsung B7610. If ever dumating dito, almost same price din ng iphone 3G.
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!
ask ko lang sana kung may update na regarding sa release dito sa pinas ng samsung omnia pro b7610 saka anong price?
ask ko lng poh kung saan pwedeng magpa-activate ng iphone.
