Apple’s next generation iPhone

August 23rd, 2009 Amit No comments

All the rumours and guesses are over. Apple’s next generation iPhone 3G[S] is announced officially. Apple is not removing their old iPhone 3G at this time. They’ll start selling iPhone 3G for 99$ in US and new iPhone 3G[S] will be sold for 199$ and 299$ for 16 and 32 GB respectively.

iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G[S] both are loaded with iPhone 3.0. So from software point of view both are same. The difference in iPhone 3G[S] is hardware. iPhone 3G[S] has better processor, additional ram, good camera and compass.

Main highlights of iPhone 3G[S]

  1. Better processing power. Almost everything is 2 times faster than iPhone 3G
  2. 3 Mega pixel auto focus camera for great picture quality. By tapping on image you can set your focus point.
  3. It can record 30FPS high quality VGA video in landscape and portrait mode.
  4. Voice controls for calling your contacts or playing your song lists. It allows you to query information regarding a playing song.
  5. Build in digital Compass, which reorients maps in the direction you are facing. Also it is a new technology for developers. I am sure that we’ll see some great application and games by using compass.
  6. Cut, Copy and paste across applications.
  7. Landscape keyboard layout for messaging and emailing.
  8. Send text, pic, video, location or contact to anyone. You can even forward messages to others.
  9. Spotlight search. One search for all your contacts, emails, calendars, notes, songs and videos.
  10. Surf the web from practically anywhere. Now you can share the 3G connection on your iPhone with your Mac notebook or PC laptop.
  11. Store voice recording of your notes and meetings.
  12. Nike Application
  13. and many more….
