Apple Announces iPhone 3GS – 3 Megapixel Camera
Apple today introduced the new iPhone 3G S, packed with improved speed and performance, longer battery life, 3 megapixel autofocus camera, 30fps video recording and hands free voice control. The new iPhone 3G S also supports 7.2 Mbps HSDPA for faster networking speeds. iPhone 3G S offers twice the capacity for the same price with a 16GB model for $199 and a new 32GB model for $299. Beginning today in US, iPhone 3G is available at only $99 for the 8GB model.
iPhone 3G S features a new 3 megapixel autofocus camera, comes with the “tap to focus” feature where you can simply touch the display to select an object or area of interest and the camera automatically re-adjusts focus and exposure. With iPhone 3G S you can send photos and video by email or MMS and post them to MobileMe or YouTube with just one tap.
The voice control feature in iPhone 3G S offers hands free operation for both iPhone and iPod functions. Simply speak the appropriate commands into the built-in microphone or headset microphone to dial by name or number. With voice control you can play your favorite music by artist, album or playlist and activate the Genius feature by saying “play more songs like this.” You can also tell iPhone to pause the music, play the next track, turn on shuffle or ask, “What’s playing right now?”
iPhone 3G S features a new built-in digital compass for instant navigation. The Compass app shows you which way you are headed and rotates as you change direction. You can orient yourself to true north or magnetic north, and iPhone’s built-in GPS automatically displays the coordinates of your current location.
iPhone 3.0 software also includes a new Find My iPhone feature that works together with MobileMe so you can locate your lost iPhone on a map, send a message that will appear on the screen or play a sound to help you find it even if your phone is set to silent. If you cannot find your iPhone, you can erase all data and content on your iPhone with the new Remote Wipe feature.
iPhone 3G S will be available in the US on June 19 for a suggested retail price of $199 (US) for the 16GB model and just $299 (US) for the new 32GB model in both Apple and AT&T’s retail and online stores, Best Buy and Wal-Mart stores. iPhone OS 3.0 software will be available on June 17 as a free software update via iTunes 8.2 or later for all iPhone customers.
