What is the iPhone 3G S?


Definition:
The iPhone 3G S is the third iPhone model released by Apple. It takes the second-generation iPhone 3G as its base and adds fine-tunings and a few major new features.

The major changes to the iPhone 3G S come in the areas of performance and media. The 3G S performs much faster than the 3G, with Apple claiming an overall two-fold increase in speed.

In the media arena, the iPhone 3G S sports a new camera that boasts 3 megapixel and can record video. The phone also includes onboard video-editing software. The iPhone 3G S improves in battery life, also, when compared to the one used in the iPhone 3G.

The iPhone 3G S doubles the capacity of the iPhone 3G, offering 16GB and 32GB.

As with both previous models, the iPhone 3G S has a 3.5-inch touchscreen and runs Mac OS X.
