Tweet Find Coverage: Release Date: Q2 2009 Released For: AT&T Released for AT&T, the Apple iPhone 3GS is an upgrade to the iPhone 3G, offering a faster processor, longer battery life, an internal compass, voice control features and an improved 3.0-megapixel auto-focus camera with video recording capabilities. The handset takes advantage of the OpenGL for high-quality 3D graphics for faster and improved mobile gaming. Users can watch more videos, listen to more music, browse the Internet or keep using their favorite apps even longer. The iPhone 3GS also supports 7.2 Mbps HSDPA for faster networking speeds. It runs on Apple's new iPhone OS 3.0 software and has the ability to cut, copy and paste text. It also features a new built-in digital compass for instant navigation. The Compass app shows travelers which way they are headed and rotates as they change direction. The compass is also integrated within Maps, so it automatically orients any map to the direction they are facing.
