The Apple iPhone 3G S is the big brother to the Apple iPhone 3G. It keeps all the great features from its predecessor, but has a few value-added extras.

Apple iPhone 3G S Design

At 115.5mm high, 62.1mm wide, 12.3mm thick and weighing in at 150 grams, the Apple iPhone 3G S has the same look and feel as it’s predecessor the Apple iPhone 3G. The 3.5 inch (89mm) diagonal touchscreen now comes with an oleophobic (lacking affinity for oils) coating which makes the screen nearly smudge-proof and allows dirt to be easily wiped off. The iPhone 3G S features large, rounded icons that open the phones various applications and functions with a simple tap on the screen. There is also a single button below the screen that takes you back to the home screen if desired. The only other buttons on the phone are the 3 along the side and they are used to put the phone on silent, adjust the volume, or lock it. Multitouch capabilities also mean that extra functions can now be performed with multiple fingers or with a mere swipe of your finger over the screen. Colour-wise, the Apple iPhone 3G S is currently available in either white or black.

Apple iPhone 3G S Music

The Apple iPhone 3G S comes with a built in iPod music player and has all new voice control to control the iTunes playlists. You can now play music by asking for songs from particular artists, albums or playlists. You can also use the voice control to pause, skip tracks, go back to previous tracks and shuffle songs once your music is playing. In addition to this, the phone will tell you which song is playing if asked, and can also select similar sounding songs for you when told to “play more songs like this”. All popular music formats are supported on the 3G S (AAC, Protected AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV), and the phone also comes with headphones that have full music controlling capabilities.

Apple iPhone 3G S Camera

Fans of the iPhone will be happy to hear that Apple has upgraded the 2 megapixel camera that’s been standard on the iPhone 3G to a 3 megapixel camera on the 3G S. The camera has a built in autofocus function so you don’t have to worry about blurry snapshots, and also comes with a new “Tap to Focus” feature. When taking a photo, a small square appears on the screen – tap that square onto a chosen point and you can adjust the white balance, colour, contrast and exposure as you desire. The camera also comes with video recording capabilities, but unfortunately doesn’t include a flash.

Apple iPhone 3G S Applications and Internet

The Apple iPhone 3G S comes with all standard applications as well as a few extras. Being an Apple product, the phone comes with iTunes and iPhoto included. There is also a “cut, copy and paste” feature on the phone that traditionally has only been reserved for computers. In addition to these, the phone comes with video recording and editing applications, as well as a spotlight search function.
Internet connectivity is made possible with 3G and WiFi.

Apple iPhone 3G S Summary

The Apple iPhone 3G S is a fun yet business-savvy smart phone. Its applications are advanced and all expected perks are included with the phone. A spectacular offering from Apple.
