Apple IPhone 3GS Mobile Phone Review - The Must Have Next Generation IPhone

Submitted By: Carlson Osbourne

The iPhone is the one model of mobile phone that has essentially took the world by storm. As soon as it was launched, it flew off the shelves because everyone wanted one and the hype about the new and improved Apple iPhone 3GS has seemed to reach new and unprecedented levels. It is the handset that everyone, especially the technology aficionados out there, wants. Whether it lives up to the hype or not is a different matter, and the rest of this review will be looking into just that for you.

Believing The Hype

The Apple iPhone 3GS is just as attractive as the previous model for one main reason – it looks exactly like it. It has the iconic appearance and feel in the hand that the other models do and is incredibly attractive as a result. There is one main difference though in that there is an oleophobic surface to ensure that it is less susceptible to attracting fingerprints. Given the fact that it is a touch screen, any feature that can help has two thumbs up and this definitely does. However, to get an idea as to why the Apple iPhone 3GS is different from its predecessors it is necessary to look at the features within the handset.

Hi-Tech Performance

The Apple iPhone 3GS is a good basic phone that can be used as a main phone for everyday use. However, it is so much more than just a phone. All of the amazing features are easy to find on the logical and well ordered menus. One of the first things that any user should take a look at is the web browser, which is easily one of the best on a mobile phone at the moment. It is easy to use and is of a high quality on the screen. As such, browsing is easy. This is further enhanced by the browsing speed, which is amazing when compared to other similar handsets on the market.

The Apple iPhone 3GS goes above and beyond its predecessor in other feature areas. For example the camera is excellent. There were complaints about the former iPhones because of the low quality pictures they gave but the new hardware has solved this problem. The video recorder is also of a high quality and of course the sound quality is excellent. However, the one major lovely touch that needs highlighting is that the apps load incredibly quickly so you can access anything you need in the blink of an eye.

Negative Feedback

There are a few niggles associated with the Apple iPhone 3GS. One of which is the volume, which can be a little loud if you are in public places. There are modes that can relax the volume a little though so you should be able to prevent this soon enough. Another niggle is the fact that data speed connection does drop in line with your battery and this can get a little frustrating to say the least. Finally, the security level of the handset is fine for personal use but may not be good enough for business use or checking bank balances and so on. As such, it may not be suitable for heavy business use.

In short, the Apple iPhone 3GS does have one or two niggles but is an improvement on the previous iPhone handsets because Apple have learned from their mistakes. The phone is highly functional, highly fashionable and a must have for all technologically minded individuals. It is also simple enough for those not so experienced to use. Try it out. It is worth every penny.
