Now costing less and available in 8GB form, the iPhone 3GS looks exactly the same as the original iPhone 3G but adds some nice extras. The camera has been upgraded to a 3 megapixel unit with auto focus, touch focus and support for video recording at 30 frames per second. There is also a built-in compass which neatly integrates with Google Maps, rotating the map as the iPhone faces a different direction.
The latest iPhone OS 3.0 is installed, which adds a long list of new features and software improvements such as copy & paste, shake to undo, MMS, stereo Bluetooth, landscape keyboard, system-wide search, Wi-Fi auto-login, support for YouTube accounts and more. The battery on the 3GS has also been improved. It was already very good, but it now has up to 12 hours talk time, 30 hours audio playback or 10 hours video playback.
