iPhone 3G S Announced: Faster, 3MP Camera, Video, Improved Battery and More
After months of rumors and speculations, Apple announced their eagerly awaited third generation iPhone at the WWDC Keynote address today. They are calling it iPhone 3G S and as many (including our reader, Gilberto) had guessed ‘S’ stands for speed. There are no changes in the physical design of iPhone...

Anyone U.K, check out the o2 website, they have announced its release already!
-
Will we got the option to extend our existing contract and get the new iphone? For the people that have only had the 3G a few months. Like last time?!
-
If you are an existing AT&T customer who owns an iPhone 3G you will have to
pay approximately $200 over subsidized pricing to upgrade. The details are
mentioned in the post.Not aware of the options available to folks in UK. Will let you know if I
find out. -
Nope, unfortunately not. Would we have to wait until december to get that $100 price deduction by att?
-
Does anyone have an Apple developer account with licenses left?
-
I don't get it. WIll I have to pay 299 dollars to upgrade to the 3GS (i have an iphone 3g 8GB blac) as an upgrade? Your fancy words scare me. Or will I just have to pay $18?
-
Yes I am in the UK and I have checked O2 website. If you want to upgrade to the cheapest monthly contract for £35 a month (600 min talk plus 500 messages) then the best option is if you sign a two years contract (not just 18 months) and you should pay approximately £174 if you want to have iPhone 3G S 32 GB.
-
Thanks for the info.
-
ok I am lost all the new iPhone 3gs options sounds great however what does 3.0 give me as a iPhone 3g user. Do I get video recorder or do I need the new 3 meg camera to do that. The compass app will that work on the 3g. It's sounds like to take advantage of all 3.0 offers I have to spend 399 for a new phone. Some one explain what I get when I upgrade to 3.0 and have the 3g
-
Both. $299 is the price of the phone itself. $18 is for AT&T to go out of its way to activate your new phone that you paid for. Just because they both bear the name "iPhone 3G" doesn't mean you'll get any sort of incremental discount. You're essentially buying a brand new phone.
-
How many of these features are enhanced by new OS? Question is except for Camera and Faster Ram/processor what are the hardware changes in 3Gs that will be missed in 3G?
Also I heard with 3Gs it would be limited Data plan?
-
All the features mentioned here are features of new iPhone 3G S, they won't
be available for iPhone 3G users.We will be publishing an article soon on the features in iPhone OS 3.0
mentioned today during the Keynote address, so please check back later. -
All the features mentioned here are features of new iPhone 3G S, they won't
be available for iPhone 3G users as these are hardware enhancements.As for iPhone 3G S having limited data plan, this is the first time we are
hearing it. We will find out and let you in case we get any more info on
that, I would shocked if AT&T brings such limitations. -
499.99 ? HELL NO!
-
Pure BS!!! Iphone owners have to pay full retail. No upgrade unless you are out of contract.
-
According to apple most of the features will be available for 3g users. http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/ At least we will have that.
-
iPhoneHacks, I can send you a screen shot of O2-UK page for the prices list available for monthly contract users who want to buy iPhone 3G S. Can you please provide me with your email address?
I don't know if these prices are available to upgrade our contracts from an existing iPhone 3G instantly or maybe we should wait till last month of contract to expire. This sucks 'cause it means I will have to wait till January 2010 to get my hands on the new iPhone :(
-
Please don't confuse the features in iPhone OS 3.0 with the new hardware
features in iPhone 3G S. If you notice, the features mentioned here aren't
mentioned on the iPhone OS 3.0 webpage. -
Please feel to send them to admin@iphonehacks.com.

Odd question... but now that the (iPhone 3.0 GM) has been released to developers, is it available for anyone else??
I googled it, and a few **** sites claim to have it (demonoid, tpb..etc) , but i'm skeptical to download it right now, as I don't know if I need a developers phone?!?!..
Should I ?

iPhone 3.0 GM is available to developers of iPhone developer program. You
will need a developer account to activate your iPhone after installing the
beta version.If you have waited so long then I guess you can wait for 9 more days when it
is available to iPhone users. Dev team has also advised users to stay away,
if they want to unlock their iPhone.So our advice, avoid it.
-
Image has been sent. I hope you can use it in a new article :)
Cheers mate
-
I imagine some jailbreaker will unlock the video for the 3g and other stuff like that.
-
Well I'm glad I didn't get my hopes up. I had a feeling Apple would focus more on necessities rather than wants. At least we can separate fact from fiction now and maybe expect physical changes next year.
I like to think of the iPhone like a car were the model doesn't necessarily change it's entire look, just makes a few improvements. This saves Apple money on parts where they can then pass the savings on to its customers. You can always go to the bank (AT&T) and get the 09 model or you can go to the dealership (Apple) and get a free tune-up. I would just like to see them work on getting us a trade-in deal.

Anybody know the release date of the new iphone for Canada??

Many of you had guessed iphone 3gs "s" stands for speed.
That I. Know of I was the only one that guessed that. And I didn't get any credit, I made that point on the iPhone 3gs code name article you made.
Please make that correction or prove that many had guessed it. -
It was guessed by various commentators across the blogosphere which was the
reason for the statement.But good one in guessing it right.
