First iPhone 3G S Unboxing Photos Showing Compass and Voice Control

[Mathias]

Aww, that sucks Though, if that's what you get with the 3G S, what are you getting with the 8GB 3G? They're listed differently on the comparison on the Apple website, as in my post. The Shuffle headphones, perhaps?

The same iPhone headset as always... No difference there.

 

[Cloudane]

That back looks sort of "slightly matte". Probably just the way the photo was taken though. Or maybe it's been airbrushed, like a supermodel

The warmth, btw, is just the white point that the camera took the pic at. Black is black.

this (3GS Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic) vs this (3G iPhone Stereo Headset)

3GS headset has "convenient buttons that let you adjust volume, control music and video playback and even answer or end calls on your iPhone."

 

[BrutalSpoon]

So what are the best replacement earphones (under $100) for the iPhone? Any suggestions?

I've got a pair of Shure SE110s, which you can find for around $70 after doing a quick spotcheck on google products. They're an awesome pair of earphones that give you really good sound quality, and they're pretty durable too - have been using mine since Christmas and they haven't been damaged at all, and I tend to be quite rough with my earphones. They do tend to focus more on the treble though, so if you're looking for strong bass then they may not be for you.

Hope this helps

this vs this

Ah, I see now. Poor new 3G customers Have the newest iPhones always shipped with the remote or is it new to the 3G S?

Thanks for clearing that up That goes to Mathias, too!

All this, excluding processor should be available for 3G owners. It's all software.

i remember reading how people were a tad unhappy with the lack of voice calling in the early days. Now that voice control is here, I don't hear a lot of praises. Someone point me to the right forum where all the rejoices are?

Oh, does non-3G S phones have voice control? If not, why not? Is it like some hardware limitation?

I can do better . It's really nothing special though.

"After looking at the iPhone 3G vs. iPhone 3G S, I'm pretty convinced that everyone is really eager to know the details of the 3G S. This is the first time the iPhone 3G S has ever been tested and written about.

The biggest difference between the 3G S and the previous version is that other than the appearance, the startup speed is considerably faster, otherwise, there are no other obvious differences."

I'd imagine the most likely reason might be lack of ram, possibly, if there is any actual reason. Or perhaps processing power, hard to say. Or they're just artificially limiting.

Aww, but the original sounds so much cooler I mean, "looks at the porcelain to hand over the dawn siberian elm"? That's just epic

I agree. Why did you (the translator) take our babel fish comedy away?

yep, it sucks, but hey, as long as the consumer is willing to part with the money, why shouldnt apple keep ripping us off???

apart from the processor speed, what is actually new about the 3GS compared tot he 3G?

 

[GeekLawyer]

Don't feed the trolls.

Well it would need the 'processing' to 'process' your voice or w/e so the faster processor would be good. Even though SOME phones from a while back had this, they were cheap phones and were nothing compared to the iphones specs, but they managed to get most of what you said right, so even with that, the iphone should get voice control. But I wonder why we never got any leaks from that that is probably why there isn't many people going omg because there was no leaks.

If you already have a 3G than why would buy the 3GS. Every year apple updates computers. I don't see people saying that Apple is playing games with people who already own the old version of that model, and will gain little by upgrading to the new version

8 more Days!!

Can't wait.

 

[atticus27]

those look pretty sexy . I'll wait until next year it doesn't have enough new features to spend $400 on.
and come on apple only putting video recording on the new iphone. every knows the 3g hardware can handle it fine.

 

[FSMBP]

Why the hell would you complain about no physical changes? Physical changes would make accessories/cases obsolete that people have for their previous iPhone.

My friend was glad that he spent $50 on two cases for his iPhone 3G and can use them for his new iPhone.

And if your fine with the speed of your 3G then good. But its ignorant to dismiss a 50% processor speed increase as not a big improvement.

and you are going to install the magnetometer, extra ram, autofocus mechanism, 1.2 extra megapixels, and a better graphics unit with software how?

I get that you should be able to get the voice memo and potentially the video through software but saying it is all software is incorrect.

 

[ZebraineZ]

I translated with babel fish too, but it isn't as funny as that guys

" Looked after iPhone 3G vs iPhone 3G S (have please selected me), believed that everybody compels did not anticipate as soon as actually thinks to peep iPhone 3G S the detail is how? The master station attains iPhone 3G S in the first time, and wrote began to play. iPhone 3G S before the biggest difference, except the outward appearance, may feel the part is opens the procedure the speed, what obvious difference didn't other have to say "

So what are the best replacement earphones (under $100) for the iPhone? Any suggestions?

Just go do a search in the iPhone or Mac Peripherals section of the forums. Those will help you out.

folks over at head-fi.org give props to the nuforce ne7: http://www.nuforce-icon.com/Product-earphone.htm

won't have all the full remote functionalities as the ones that come with the 3GS, but it will sound much better.

Do your calculations again, its a 100% speed increase.

50% increase in proccesor speed, well i hope its worth paying the stupid price for the phone plus the line rental, ill hold out and wait for 4th gen, when apple actually go to the drawing board and and improve the iphone greatly, instead of just upping the processor speed and calling it a new phone!

physical aspect of the phone, everyone likes a change right? and so what if your friend spent $50 on two cases, no one forced her to!

 

[alphatectz]

this is a sweet as iPhone, can't wait to walk into the apple store and talk to the guy/gal in a orange shirt (since I pre-ordered mines) then go to the. Nearest AT&T store and switch my sim card from my 3g to my new white 32gb 3gs, then asking the rep to switch the number from the 3gs back to my fiancée's black berry & and Porting my number from my 3g to the 3gs (thanks to my fiancée for lettinge upgrade her line so I can get my 3gs)

I was once on a Pink Floyd mailing list back in the 90s and there was a Japanese fan who didn't speak English but rather interacted with the mailing list through translation software. The software would occasionally translate his posts into exactly this kind of wonderful, bizarre nonsense. I gave up trying to understand him completely and just decided to appreciate the psychedelic poetry/koan-like quality of it.
