Apple iPhone 3GS
The iPhone 3G was one of the great achievements in smart phone design, and the 3GS actually made some improvements, most notably, speed. While the outward appearance of both models is identical, it’s what’s under the hood that counts. With a more powerful CPU, more storage, improved camera optics, and support for the latest (and fastest) 3G standard, the iPhone 3GS outperforms the 3G in most respects, while preserving all of the aspects of the 3G that we already knew and loved. PS – There’s no need for a bumper.
