Apple today introduced the new iPhone 3G S, featuring improved speed and performance—up to twice as fast as iPhone 3G—longer battery life, a high-quality 3 megapixel autofocus camera, easy to use video recording and hands free voice control. iPhone 3G S includes the new iPhone OS 3.0, with over 100 new features such as Cut, Copy and Paste, MMS, Spotlight Search, landscape keyboard and a new Find My iPhone feature that works together with MobileMe to help you locate a lost iPhone.
The S in iPhone 3G S stands for Speed, making it the fastest and most powerful iPhone yet. iPhone 3G S offers some major speed enhancements with quick app launch, fast web page rendering and updated 3D graphics making it the most advanced phone, iPod and web browsing device.
Palm Pre has been widely accepted as the real iPhone killer. With the launch of iPhone 3G S Apple has raised the standard of their best selling phone even higher. With faster processor and improved battery life Apple had a very good opportunity to offer multitasking and match one of Pre’s biggest advantages. It is still unclear whether background apps is a software or hardware issue in iPhone 3G S.
iPhone 3G S certainly adds more power and features to the most popular touch screen phone and is definitely worth checking out!
