8GB iPhone 3GS coming soon?

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 30 Dec 2009 1:32 User comments (4)

According to a pic sent in by a forum user, Apple may be ready to replace the aging iPhone 3G with an 8GB iPhone 3GS at the $99 price point.

First reported on the German apfeltalk forums, the user, .David, ordered a refurbished 8GB iPhone 3G and received the phone but in packaging suggesting that it was a 3GS model.

Says his original post (translated):

"Seems to be an iPhone 3G (back and no compass, FW) 3.0.1 on it. However, the packaging is clearly designed for an iPhone 3G [S] 8GB. Ordered was a refurbished 3G iPhone 8GB.

Vote: who have a refurbished iPhone 3G in a new packaging of the packaged iPhone 3G [S] 8GB, because the enhancement is clearly new. Which clearly indicates that the sale of the iPhone 3G [S] 8GB immediately imminent."

We will keep you updated.

Give me £75 8GB 3GS
On a £20 a month (I dont care how long it lasts)
with 300 (or more)
and 100 minutes
with 1GB internet (or more)

Now that sounds more like a fair price not the stupid amounts people pay for at the momment!!!

I have an 8gb 3g now ... if I could get the better speed, which allows you to do more, for only 100$, then for sure I would upgrade.

It could just be a misprint...the part # is a regular 3G, so if they went to a 3GS, the part # would be different. However, they will eventually run out of older models, so a cheaper 3GS is inevitable.

	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
