Foreword
We’re already used to Apple launching the latest generations of its success products with a very high precision, so it’s no wonder that two years after the first and one year after the second gen iPhone the third one has arrived, which isn’t much different in its name or features from the one year old iPhone 3G. The name of the new handset is 3GS, it has some new hardware and software features, and most of the soft updates are not available only for those who spend some money and buy the latest handset, as the new operating system can be downloaded to previous handsets as well – for free.
Those who really hate the hype around iPhone have found a great target in iPhone 3GS, as it’s a fact that there aren’t many features that make the device better than its predecessor. But there is one thing that went much better at the launch of the third iPhone than at the second: 3GS arrived to stores in many countries at the time of its launch, even though at a very high price, in SIM-free edition. The reason for this is that iPhone was available in selected countries at the time of launch, and retailers from other regions took on the task of taking back the handset to the country of purchase (eg. Italy) if something goes wrong, as iPhone is one of the few Apple products that comes with no world-wide warranty, so local Apple retailers and services don’t accept them for servicing.
The handset we had for testing was a 16 GB model we received from XXL GSM. The packaging didn’t change at all, the box and the accessories have been inherited from 3G, so besides the phone we’ll get a stereo headset, a charger connector, a data cable and the “needle” used for taking out the SIM socket inside the classy black package.
