Apple iPhone 3GS

 

Is the 3GS the best iPhone yet?

The iPhone 3GS is the fastest, most feature rich model so far, and if you don't already have a iPhone 3G it's well worth the money. If you do have an iPhone 3G though, it's not quite so cut and dry. The 3GS may be faster than the 3G when it comes to...

iPhone 3GS review

 

The definitive verdict on the new 3G S iPhone

Great touchscreen ; Faster processor ; iPhone 3.0 software ; Camera with autofocus

Poor coverage at times ; Expensive to upgrade to ; Internet tethering costs extra ; Battery life doesn't seem to have been improved

Update: read our iPhone 4s review.

Apple iPhone 3G S

 

A welcome upgrade makes the iPhone even more formidable

Faster and more powerful; new features and holes in spec plugged; larger hard disk; same sky-high AV performance; class-leading interface

It's not cheap - with or without a contract - but what's new

Apple iPhone 3GS

 

The iPhone 3G S isn't really a new phone, it's an update, but probably the hottest update of the year. It looks as feels the same as the 3G: externally the device is the same design, which Apple suggests is to retain support for all the third-party...

App Store, user interface, simplicity, compass improves mapping

Price, battery life, no FM radio

There are so many things that work well here making the iPhone a pleasure to use. Text entry is fast and responsive, the new MMS features bring it up to date, email, calendars and contacts are all well handled. Browsing is good and fast, the screen is...

Apple iPhone 3GS 16GB Review: In Depth

 

As the name implies, this is a souped-up iPhone 3G, rather than a new generation of Apple's handset. It's more powerful, has a better camera and the ability to shoot video, and supports faster HSDPA data…

The iPhone 3GS is certainly a step on from the iPhone 3G. Everything is faster, the camera is significantly improved, and the video shooting is very well done. If you want an iPhone and aren’t encumbered by a long existing O2 contract, it’s the one to...

Apple iPhone 3GS review

 

You will not find a better Internet-connected smartphone than the Apple iPhone 3GS.

The iPhone 3GS addresses most of the fundamental weaknesses of the previous models, adding raw speed, voice-activated phone and music navigation, an improved autofocus camera, and video-recording features. With two major revisions in the past year, the...

Apple iPhone 3G S review

 

The 3G S addresses the iPhone's biggest flaws without providing a great leap forward

Much faster ; 32GB option ; Better camera

Camera’s low light performance is poor ; Same old design ; Expensive

Evolution, not revolution – the ‘S’ fixes the iPhone’s hardware flaws and the 3.0 software keeps it way ahead of its rivals

Apple iPhone 3Gs test

 

A pple'ın sektörde aldığı pozisyon, diğer markalara göre biraz daha şık ve lüks bir çizgide durmasına neden oluyor. Belirli sayıda distribütör ve güçlü pazarlama politikaları ile bu durum daha da kuvvetleniyor. Apple ürünleri, satın alan...
