iPhone 3GS announced: $199 16GB, $299 32GB, June 19th
As endlessly predicted, Apple's unveiled a new iPhone today at WWDC, the iPhone 3G S -- the "s" stands for speed. Although it looks almost exactly like the 3G, it's much, much faster -- some tasks are almost four times faster. Data speeds are upped to 7.2Mbps HSDPA, and the camera is now a 3 megapixel unit with tap-to-autofocus and auto white balance -- and just as expected, it now supports 30fps VGA video recording with editing features. You're also getting a built-in compass, Nike+ support, and a new battery that offers 5 hours of 3G talk time and 9 hours of WiFi internet use. There are some surprises, too -- holding down the home button now enables a new voice control interface that lets you do everything from make calls to control iTunes, and Apple's touting a new "fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating." New and end-of-contract pricing is set at $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB when it goes on sale June 19th Stateside and in 80 more countries in August -- and the current 8GB 3G will remain on sale for $99, effective immediately. You'll have to pay a bit more if you're mid-contract, though -- $299 for the 3G and $399/$499 for the 3G S. %Gallery-65463% Other iPhone news from WWDC: Apple shows iPhone OS 3.0 at WWDC, hits devices June 17th Apple's 8GB iPhone 3G falls to $99 on contract Apple partners with TomTom to bring "real" navigation to iPhone Apple announces "Find My iPhone" phone-locating service Line 6 and Planet Waves brings guitar and amp control to iPhone ScrollMotion's Iceberg in-app bookstore announced for iPhone, ready to take on the Kindle? iPhone 3G vs. iPhone 3G S: the tale of the tape Other Apple news from WWDC: Apple's new MacBook family: non-removable batteries, lower prices Apple shipping Snow Leopard in September, $29 upgrade Apple digs into Microsoft at WWDC Safari 4 released today, offering 'unparalled speed' Read - Apple PR Read - AT&T PR with pricing info
Apple's 8GB iPhone 3G falls to $99 on contract
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/Apple_s_iPhone_3G_falls_to_99_on_contract'; No interest in the iPhone 3G S? How's about an 8GB iPhone 3G for $99 on a new 2-year AT&T contract? That's exactly what was just announced at WWDC 2009, and yes, this new price is effective today. We're guessing any remaining 16GB iPhone 3G units will be scrounged up at closeout rates as well. Oh, and if you're mid-contract on AT&T (with any phone), you'll be asked to shell out a whopping $299 for one of these 8GB units or $399 / $499 for the 16GB / 32GB iPhone 3G S. Frankly, that upgrade deal reeks compared to the offer that was passed along to those who upgraded from the iPhone to iPhone 3G (mid-contract users paid the same as new / renewing contract users), but then again, the original iPhone was only sold in unsubsidized (and thus, crazy expensive) form.Read - AT&T press releaseRead - Apple pre-order page
