Apple iPhone 3G
 |
Apple iPhone 3G: the last two letters in the name clearly indicates that this model is an incremental upgrade compared with iPhone 2/3. The addition of the 3G support makes this product unique and original, which with the combination with the elegant and classic design is a prerequisite for success. The difference is really big, since the 2G networks takes 38 seconds to download a test webpage. On the 3G network, iPhone 3G needed only 18.5 seconds which is more than twice time faster. At the same time, because 3G needs more energy, the battery lasts less (around 5 hours). Of course, you can turn off the 3G and increase the battery life up to 10 hours. As far as the design, Apple iPhone 3G has a plastic back rather than metal in the original. The body of the 3G model is thicker, but the tapered edges make it look and fell slimmer. It sits comfortably in the hand, but the plastic finish attracts fingerprints which is annoying. iPhone 3G is powered by a 412 MHz processor with 128 MB of RAM. The internal storage is 8 or 16 GB. There’s a 2 MP camera at the back and no front facing shooter. |
