New iPhone 3G S Unveiled


The new iPhone 3G S was unveiled at the WWDC, Worldwide Developers Conference, by Apple. Apple says the "S" stands for "Speed" as it is significantly faster than it's predecessor, the iPhone 3G.

Another improvement is the 3 megapixel camera with the auto-focus feature. The new iPhone 3G S can now shoot video's too unlike the 3G. I still don't get why they didn't do that in the first place.

Voice control is another new feature the new iPhone has. You can now make calls by talking to the iPhone. You can also have it play songs from your playlist just by telling it what to play. With this new feature when asked it will tell you what it is playing now. You can then ask it to play more songs like the one you just asked and the iTunes Genius will activate. This is pretty cool.

The greatest improvement to the new iPhone is its battery life. Apple claims that it will run for 9 hours while surfing the web. The talk time though remains at 5 hours. It's still an improvement.

The iPhone 3G S will come in two colors and two sizes. You will get to choose from a 16 GB version, which costs $199, or the 32 GB version that costs $299. Then you get to choose the color, either White or Black.

The iPhone 3G S will be available on June 19, 2009.
