Sure, some of these things existed before. Since then, things have moved on dramatically. But perhaps the craziest thing about the iPhone 3GS, from the vantage point of , is how much they still cost to buy. This is on eBay, however, so crazy pricing is to be expected. Even if it is brand new, as the seller claims! Nostalgia is a big marketing trick. Hollywood has been using nostalgia to make billions in bank for decades. And it came with all the original accessories as well.
Simple: it had a load laying around in its warehouse, so rather than selling them on eBay, it tapped the nostalgia vein of the masses and began selling off the old stock at a discounted rate. SK Telink tested all the dusty, old units too. And apparently they all worked just fine.
Yes, of course, you could. So long as you had a battery that had power left in it, the iPhone 3GS would turn on and work. However, actually running the phone might be more problematic on account of its minuscule CPU and memory. I mean, just look at this spec sheet:. Not having these things in place will cause plenty of performance issues with your apps — things like hangs, crashes, and other glitches.
And it is this spec that will make using the phone for anything beyond calls and texts an absolute nightmare. Hell, even then it might be a bit of a slog….
Moral of the story? Old iPhones are still iPhones. And people will pay massive amounts of money for them. And there are a number of not-so-well-known ways of doing this. Me personally? Not too shabby, right? Whenever you think about the iPhone 3GS, you have to do it with the right context in mind. Right now, the iPhone 3GS looks ancient and dated. But back in , it was something of a trailblazer — from the way it looked to the technology it ran inside it.
Android was around then too. But it was Apple that was winning the hearts and minds of the masses with its focus on simplicity and ease of use. The first iPhone was not successful, in any meaningful way, but that phone was more a proof of concept than anything else.
The iPhone 3G did a lot better, both with respect to sales and how it looked and functioned. Apple had got the design right, so when it came to the iPhone 3GS is was all about refining the experience, making it faster and more responsive. This is what the iPhone 3GS was all about — speed. Remember: this was well before the release of 4G. The Flip cam should definitely be scared.
The iPhone 3GS is noticeably faster than the iPhone 3G, but in my opinion, that speed alone is not worth the upgrade price. Apple has stated that the battery in the 3GS does boost times for certain things like browsing the web on WiFi , but it also apparently is leading to some overheating. For whatever reason, the iPhone 3GS is much dimmer when auto-brightness is turned on, and this undoubtedly saves some battery life too. The iPhone 3GS also has a feature that allows you to tell you the percentage of your battery has left.
This is a pretty nice feature, but it does get a bit nerve-racking. If you have very oily hands? Now, one is constantly much more dirty. This camera is 3. But the real difference is with the auto-focus, which turns crap pictures, good. I remember buying my first iPod five years ago — it was a hard-drive based model with 40 GB of storage. The thing was a brick. Now the iPhone has just about as much storage, which is pretty crazy.
And considering you can now not only shoot movies on this device, but can download them from iTunes with the 3. And for the first few days I had no idea how to activate the compass features in Google Maps — you have to tap the location button in the lower left corner twice. You really need to look at the functionality and use cases above, and determine where you reside with regards to those things.
