New features of the iPhone 3G S include improved processing and network speed, longer battery life, a better camera with autofocus, video recording, hands-free voice control, a screen reader for the visually impaired, a digital compass, and support for the Nike + iPod sensor. It will come with iPhone 3.0 software, which includes the long-awaited copy and paste, a landscape keyboard, voice memo recording, expanded parental controls, Find My iPhone, and Remote Wipe. Other carriers, including Telstra and Vodafone, are expected to reveal their iPhone 3G S hands in the coming days. |
