iPhone 3GS Unboxing Pictures: It Looks…THE SAME!

By Gary Ng on June 12th, 2009 54

The iPhone 3GS launch in Canada won’t take place until one week from today on June 19th. Two days prior, iPhone OS 3.0 will be available for download. If you are an eager beaver and can’t wait until next Friday, today you will get to check out some leaked iPhone 3GS unboxing pics.

These pictures are courtesy of Engadget China, where somebody there got their grubby paws on an iPhone 3GS. As you can see from the pictures, the design looks amazing…errr…wait a minute, it looks exactly like the 3G! That’s because Apple did not bother updating the iPhone’s form factor.

Although some people are disappointed, I think the decision to keep the same design was a good one. With falling prices on all components, this has allowed Apple to retain their same pricing structure (and make more profit), plus allow for a $99 iPhone 3G!

ZAGG invisibleSHIELD Will Fit the iPhone 3GS

In that one pic of the naked iPhone back, I cringed as I would immediately slap on an invisibleSHIELD if that was my iPhone 3GS. Luckily for us, the invisibleSHIELD design hasn’t changed so that means lots of stock is still in store. Don’t forget to use “iphoneinca” for 20% off! Click here to visit ZAGG.com

One week away from iPhone 3GS goodness. For those that are going to be buying an iPhone, this will be one long week to count down the days. Good thing iPhone OS 3.0 is dropping on the 17th to keep us busy in the meantime!

    I understand everyones gripe about rogers change in HUP to 24 months.
    i dont agree and i know ppl will flame me for this but understand why this is.
    I have good info that rogers pays a huge premium for the iphone.
    its not like they want to charge the big $$$ but they pay so much for the phone that they do not make back the $$$ on the phone until way after 1 year on a contract.

    they also know ppl will not just leave since they are on contract for 2 plus years more if they have the original iphone and after they make up the diff they gave a discount for thats when they will be able to allow for the $199-299 price.

    i know ppl who work for both Rogers and apple and in the end its not feasable for them to offer the 3gs to current iphone owners only being on the contract that they sighned from last july of the iphone.

    if you notice other phones 1 year is al you need since those phones are much cheaper.

    remember the iphone is not only HDW…rogers pays apple for hdw and plan.

    so if you feel ripped off its not rogers trying to rip you off..its more an apple thing!!

    Everyone is misunderstanding the differences.

    The software differences are the same with the exception of the digital compass and a video recorder (which can be downloaded once the 3G is jailbroken).

    The comparison needs to be made in the hardware.

    The iphone 3GS boasts a longer battery life, a faster CPU @ 600MHZ, RAM upgrade to 256MB, faster 3G service…I believe it enables 7.2Mbps HSDPA, and a 3.0 megapixel autofocus with macro mode and auto white balance camera as oppossed to a 2.0 megapixel camera.

    These are the major differences in specs as per:
