iPhone 3G S on its way

Apple today introduced the new iPhone 3G S, the third generation iPhone.  Apple promises iPhone users up to twice the performance of its predecessor, the iPhone 3G.

Other improvements include longer battery life, a 3 megapixel autofocus camera, video recording and hands free voice control. iPhone 3G S includes the new iPhone OS 3.0 with over 100 new features such as Cut, Copy and Paste, MMS, Spotlight Search and landscape keyboard.

iPhone 3G S customers get access to more than 50,000 applications from Apple’s App Store.  The new iPhone 3G S offers twice the capacity for the same price with a 16GB model for $199 and a 32GB model for $299.  Apple also announced that the iPhone 3G is available at the price of $99 for the 8GB model.

“iPhone 3G S is the fastest, most powerful iPhone yet and we think people will love the incredible new features including autofocus camera, video recording and the freedom of voice control,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of WorldWide Product Marketing. “And with a breakthrough price of $99, we are thrilled to get iPhone 3G into the hands of even more users who want them.”

“iPhone 3G S will also be available in more than 80 countries in the coming weeks,” Apple said.  Vodacom did not officially comment on the potential availability of the iPhone 3G S in South Africa yet, but it is expected that the new iPhone will be made available to Vodacom subscribers in July 2009.
