Dear Friends & Families,

I have not been writing any review for quite some time and today I can’t put myself to sleep if I didn’t get this post up and running. Do you all know that Apple has come out a new iPhone to replace the current iPhone 3G version or model? I think you sure know it because if not you won’t be reading this post right?
Apple iPhone is a revolutionary mobile phone that pack multimedia, business and Internet into the iPhone. Apple first launch is Apple iPhone first generation which only EDGE and it not a 3G model. It has many mix responses to the first generation of iPhone and Apple came out many updates to the iPhone OS from 1.1-1.4 version. Then later Apple advertise at their website that a brand new iPhone will releasing soon with the 2.0 version. When at iPhone 1st birthday, Apple’s previous CEO Steve Jobs introduced OS 2.0 at WWDC and the brand new iPhone that comes with the 2.0 software and he named it “The iPhone 3G”. Everyone was there was so happy that Apple has listen to their gripe for a long time there is no 3G.
Apple introduced 3G version that comes with the 2.0 OS and it replaced the first generation with the EDGE connection. iPhone 3G comes in 2 color choice, you either get a black or white for the 16GB and as for thr 8GB you will stick to black only. Just recently Apple yet again show the world a brand new iPhone to replace the current iPhone 3G. The brand new iPhone is named “iPhone 3G S“. The “S” represent speed because the brand new iPhone is 2x faster compare to iPhone 3G with the tag line “The fastest, most powerful iPhone yet”. So what has Apple put into the brand new iPhone 3G S? The most notable is 3.0 OS version for the brand new iPhone comes with many new nifty features that all iPhones users has been waiting for. It also included new apps and hardware features. I will breakdown into 3 parts to review the new iPhone. Hardware upgrades, New Apps and 3.0 OS.
Hardware Upgrades.
The new iPhone hardware upgrade is the camera itself. Now it comes not in 2.0 mega pixels but in 3.0 mega pixels and with Auto-Focus. It will be great to hear that iPhone has move up their camera mega pixels from 2.0 to 3.0 and now with touch auto-focus. This new touch auto-focus is a great features where we can touch at certain place in the screen to focus the area. The camera comes with auto white balancing and other camera functions but you can change it and it has fixed to auto mode. The camera also can RECORD videos in 30fps VGA quality. You can record your video in portrait or landscape mode and with the flick of button at the camera app you can switch between capture in video or image. That’s not all Apple also throw in a basic video editing to the video camera. You’ll able to trim the part you don’t want or drag to the location you want to view. You can even directly from your iPhone share your video to mobileMe, Youtube and email to your friends.
Another upgrade is a digital compass that can be works with google’s maps. The digital compass can be used alone without the map and it can show you the North and South, and East and West. It works like a magnetic compass which you can let you know where you’re facing. Using the compass with google’s maps it very easy because it can point you which place you’re facing and it is very cool. You should view the video and you will know how fantastic this new app. As for the body of the iPhone there is nothing changes from the previous version of iPhone 3G. It comes in black or white but only in 16GB AND 32GB!!! Apple do listen to customers’ queries. I think the iPhone will be heavy in 32GB because I have tried the 32GB iPod Touch is quite heavy. The new iPhone is 2x faster when loading websites in Safari browser, opening and closing apps and viewing attachments in emails. It has improve the 3D graphics and it can deliver incredible 3D graphics gaming.
New Apps & 3.0 OS

I think it over, I prefer this two topic combines as one. The new 3.0 OS or version will be available to all iPhone users for free starting June 17 and I think this is US date so it might be different in other countries. iPhone 3.0 OS comes many nifty features that most of the iPhone users has been craving for. First at foremost, Cut/Copy/Paste function that enable users quickly and easily cut, copy and paste text and image from one app to another app. It also included landscape keyboard. When we rotate our iPhone into landscape mode it will switch the keyboard to landscape also. It works at Safari, notes, mail and messages. iPhone users now can send their photos captured with their iPhone to another iPhone or mobile phone thru MMS. It built in to the messages app or SMS app that it will display in the normal SMS in iPhone. It enable users to save the photos, videos and even contacts.
Apple brought in what that is in any normal Macs function into iPhone. Spotlight search that brought into the iPhone the Macs that enable users to search keywords and it will search thru entire the iPhone that matches from contacts to emails. With mic located below the iPhone now can use it as Voice Memo. The brand new app enable users to record their voice as memo. Calendar has been improved and even the Stocks app is been enhanced which we can view the chart at landscape. iTunes now in the iPhone can download movies, TV shows, music videos and audio books directly to your iPhone. iTunes now enable users to create more than one account and login more than one directly from iPhone. Safari improvement with faster speed with auto fill username and passwords. Now iPhone can share their 3G connection to any Macs or PCs with the new Internet tethering using USB or Bluetooth. Now the Bluetooth can be used with stereo headsets and car kits. It even can be use as Peer to Peer while playing games.
When you’re in Wi-Fi hotspots and disconnected it will automatically connected you back to the hotspots. Notes can be sync to any Macs or PCs. Parent now can restricts their kids what contents that they can view by using the Parental Control. The new iPod function is here with iPhone also, which is the Shake to Shuffle. With a shake it will shuffle the songs in the iPod function. New languages has been added in and now with mobileMe you can remote wipe off the date in your iPhone if you happen to lost it. This all you get in the iPhone 3G S and the new OS 3.0 so how do differentiate this two?

SURE!!! but I will wait till August and see any changes. NOW AppleStore Malaysia has information regarding iPhone 3G S. Will Maxis bring it in?
