~~iPhone 3Gs~~

GENERAL

The iPhone 3GS, was announced at Apple's WWDC conference on June 8th 2009 and at the time was the fastest iPhone ever. The 'S' stands for speed.

It has a 3 megapixel camera with autofocus and video recording. It also includes a built-in digital compass that enables it to be used for turn-by-turn navigation applications, and the option of voice control for a number of phone and media player features.

According to Apple it runs twice as fast as the iPhone 3G and battery life is also much greater. This increased speed not only allows all apps to run faster, it enables the 3GS to become the first iPhone to have a video recording and editing capability.

Apple claims that the battery life enables 10 hours of video viewing, or 5 hours of internet browsing over a 3G phone network.

With the introduction of the iPhone 3GS Apple also launched a new version of the operating system, know as OS 3.0, and the option of "tethering". The new OS is available on other iPhone and iPod Touch models and includes features such as cut-and-paste between applications and use of a landscape keyboard. Tethering allows an iPhone's 3G phone connection to be used as a broadband internet connection for devices such as laptops.
