DISQUS

Unwired View: Third-gen iPhone with 3.2MP camera to start shipping in May?

  • thecolor · 8 months ago
    these "new" additions are sad. I realize some will buy and or upgrade simply because they are there and this is "new"... but really, a measly 3.2MP camera, really; it's better, but hardly.

    iPhone owners... I'd "suggest" giving it a few years between upgrades, Apple is intentionally releasing these simple upgrades to gank your wallet. Higher res cameras, BT 2.0 (soon 3.0), GPRS/EDGE/UMTS, etc. have all been available for YEARS now.

    If I were you (I know I'm not), I'd not waste my money until there have been more than a few simple upgrades. Preferably, to at least match the most high end device available now. ex. the Nokia N95 5MP or Casio's W53CA Exilim 5MP or Samsung Pixon 8MP or LG's KC-910 8MP and so on and so on. And that's just the camera (not to mention the other features).

    I honestly feel like the only downfall (and I mean the ONLY one) is the camera. It is pretty weak. Look forward to the change.

    i dont give a stuff how many mega pixels, If the next model doesnt have a zeon flash and auto focus then Im buying a nokia and they will miss out on my money for another 5 years. Please apple, I dont want much, just to be able to take a 'reasonable' pic in most conditions eg. at night when I use it most. The tech has been around for a few years now apple, come on. Im thinking it needs the nokia N82's camera :)

    I will hand over the money in a heart beat if you come to the party :)

    Taiwan Release date is sometime in August...so I can't wait to get my hands on one, maybe two if wife doesnt share with me..LOL

    3.2 MP with autofocus....so nice! Plus 50,000 apps on itunes or close to 15,000 free apps!
    It doesnt get any better than this. The autofocus will make it equal to many 5 MP camera phones out there. And the movie taking ability is much appreciated. :)

    I got the new iphone 3GS. I have been using it since the first day it was released in Taiwan. The photo apps and its great auto focus are amazing. The addition of video is fantastic. 3.2 megapixal is the same quality of my first digital Sony Camera. It does just fine.

    I use the apps on it everyday, less games but alot of photo apps, blog updating apps and such. I give this phone 5 stars out of 5.
