iPhone 3G S unveiled by Apple: Out June 19

The iPhone 3G S. Here it is. The new iPhone. The S in iPhone 3G S stands for Speed, since this is the most powerful iPhone yet, delivering performance increases of at least 2.1 times. Want to see how quick the iPhone can get? Read on for the full skinny on the iPhone 3Gs.

Apple’s marketing supremo Phil Schiller took to the stage at WWDC to unveil the iPhone 3G S, calling it “the fastest, most powerful iPhone yet.”

Inside are re-worked innards to deliver a 2.1x speed increase in launching apps. Viewing attachments is almost 4x as quick, and even graphically intense apps benefit from an almost 3x performance boost.

But that’s not all. The iPhone 3G S has 7.2Mbps HSDPA for ultra-quick downloads. There’s also a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus crammed inside, which lets owners tap the screen to choose a focal point, or let the iPhone 3G S figure everything out itself in auto mode.

There’s an “auto macro” mode too, activated when subjects are around 10cm away, and as expected the iPhone 3G S can also capture video footage.
