The iPhone 3G S is coming this month in a beefed up 32GB version, packing video, voice recognition plus a whole lot more.
The S apparently stands for “speed”, with Apple’s Phil Schiller saying it is the “fastest, most powerful iPhone yet”, promising “incredible speedups” in everything you do.
The key changes have all taken place on the inside. Firstly, the camera has been increased to 3 megapixels and includes auto-focus, auto-white balance, auto-macro and auto-exposure. Another addition is the tap-to-focus feature, which will allow you to tap the object you want to be the main focus of the picture.
The new camera will also capture video, and there will be a simple switch in the camera app to allow you to switch between the two modes. Once you’ve captured your picture/video, you’ll be able to upload it straight to YouTube, or send it by email or MMS. iPhone 3GS will also come with voice recognition, allowing you to make phone calls and control your songs by speaking simple commands.
Most important of all is that the iPhone 3G S comes with up to 9 hours web surfing, 12 hours talk time (2G) or 5 hours talk-time (3G), 10 hours of video and 30 hours of audio. A smaller 16GB version is also due. Both models are due in Australia on June 26. Pricing to be confirmed.
