Apple announces it’s next phone - IPhone 3G S

WWDC has kicked off and as expected, Apple is making a lot of announcements about upcoming products and services. One of the most awaited announcement was an update to the year old IPhone 3G. Apple calls the new phone as IPhone 3G S where the ‘S’ stands for speed. According to Apple, the phone features a faster processor and updated 3D graphics which delivers an improved performance and incredible gaming performance. The company claims that everything will be at least 2X faster when compared with IPhone 3G.

Other new features include, 3 Mpx camera with auto focus, VGA video recording, full voice control, built in digital compass, Nike + iPod support and many more. For internet usage, battery life of up to 5 hours on 3G and up to 9 hours on Wi-Fi has been promised. The 16GB and 32 GB versions are priced at $199 and $299 respectively and both are expected to hit the retail shelves on June 18th in the US and 80 more countries in August. There isn’t anything revolutionary here except the improved speed and few added features. We have to wait and see how the device holds up with the recently launched Palm Pre and many other smart phones including the Touch Diamond 2.
