Users Opinions and Reviews
It would be easy to dismiss the Apple iPhone 3GS as an inconsequential hardware upgrade. But to do so would underestimate how much, collectively, the phone’s new features augment the iPhone experience. With the iPhone 3GS, Apple solidifies its leadership position in a crowded smart phone landscape.
Apple iPhone 3GS some blasted features are listed:-
• A faster 600MHz CPU and double the RAM at 256MB
• Noticeably faster performance
• Faster network speeds of HSDPA 7.2Mbps
• 3.2 megapixel auto focus camera with VGA@3ofps video recording, touch focus with subject tracking, macro mode from as close as 10 cm
• Double the storage space – 3GS is selling in 16GB and 32GB versions
• Digital compass with automatic map orientation in Maps app
• Better audio quality (as recorded and analyzed in our office)
• Louder loudspeaker results (with performance gains primarily in music playback)
• Purportedly better battery life
• Voice Control, speaker independent. Can be use to call a phone number, play music by song/album/artist name, shuffle music
• Built-in support for Nike+ jogging system
• TV-out outputs 480p instead 480i resolution
• Text-to-speech feature called Voice Over is included in the new Accessibility menu
• System-wide Screen Zoom is also included in the Accessibility menu
Apple iPhone 3GS some Problems are listed:-
• The new iPhone 3GS lacks the same novelty factor as its predecessors – the lack of design changes is a turn-down
• 3 megapixel camera with limited feature set hardly cuts it for a high-end device
• There’s still no flash or hardware shutter key for the camera
• Despite the upgrade, battery life is still generally poor (2-year old iPhone 2G are still doing way better)
• No video calls functionality
• No FM radio
• No stereo speakers (or are we pushing it too far already?)
