Detailed words about the difference between iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS:
Speed: Okay, first and foremost, the iPhone 3GS is faster. Much faster. So... the 'S' stands for speed, and the 3GS is faster. If going online, or just generally was feeling the old iPhone to be a tag sluggish, this new one has a shot of nitrous injection where it counts.
Camera: 2 megapixel fixed focus lens is replaced by a 3 megapixel auto focus affair. Macro mode, auto exposure and auto white balance are the order of the day on the iPhone 3GS, spelling an end to those grainy no-frills iPhone pictures. Video recording is also a new feature, with 30 fps VGA capabilities, as well a mini editing suite right on the phone.
Voice Control: Voice dialling, voice support for the iPod and VoiceOver (text to speech) fresh from the iPod Shuffle gives the iPhone 3G S a futuristic bent. Want to play a particular playlist, or hear songs from a particular artist? Simply hold down the 'Home' button, and let the phone know what you want!
The remote is also an inheritance from the iPod Shuffle, giving more control over your music by skipping back and forward through tracks...
Increased Battery Life: The 3GS offers more hours battery life on 2G calls, an increase from 6 to 9 hours battery life on Wi-Fi, and a boost from 24 to 30 hours of audio over the iPhone 3G. There is a trade off, however, with the 3G S being 2 grams heavier than the iPhone 3G. A small price to pay for what is a notoriously thirsty handset, we think...
Digital Compass: GPS just got better, as the iPhone 3GS adds orientation to location accuracy. Google Maps turns to the direction the user is facing, and turn-by-turn instructions can become a reality.
Move to the conclusion: the iPhone 3GS is an evolution rather than a revolution, refining the iconic handset to play to its strengths better than ever before. 3G owners might not be missing too much, but there are plenty of reasons for first-timers to take the plunge with Apple's new device!
