Apple has launched a new version of the iPhone for the company’s devoted customers, named the iPhone 3GS, which have better and faster features on its smartphones and computers, but with lower prices.
According to the company, the third model of its hit phone looks physically identical to the last version but includes internal hardware and software improvements, will go on sale on June 19. Among the changes, the iPhone 3GS will have a three-megapixel camera that also records video, an internal digital compass and voice-control features that let owners use spoken commands to make calls and play music.
The company said the “S” of iPhone 3G S means speed and upgraded internal components that enable the device to run more than twice as fast as the previous model.
The iPhone 3GS, which will be sold in both black and white, is priced at US$199 for the 16-gigabyte version and $299 for the 32-gigabyte version. A spokesman for AT&T, Apple’s exclusive iPhone partner in the United States, said that for the time being, it would not change the monthly prices on its iPhone voice and data plans.
Apple also announced it would sell the previous eight-gigabyte iPhone 3G for a price of US$99, reduced from US$199, on top of data and voice plans. That could make the iPhone accessible to cost-conscious consumers and undercut competitors like Palm.
Palm’s new smartphone, the Pre, which went on sale Saturday, costs US$199 after a mail-in rebate. Sprint, which is selling the Pre exclusively, offers a two-year service contract that is cheaper than the one AT&T offers for the iPhone.
