what's up guys and girls John retinue here I want to give you a head-to-head comparison of the iPhone 3GS versus the iPhone 3G both are running the most updated versions of OS 3.0 I'm going to show you calendar speed SMS feed stock speed screen rotation browser speed on both 3G and Wi-Fi I'm going to show you what you get with the 3GS that you don't get with the 3G so you can decide which device is right for you or if it's worthwhile to upgrade so the application I use quite a bit sock so let me go ahead and open up both of these soft applications and will see the speed in which both of them load so put stocks right there and right there going to at the same time iPhone 3GS loaded much quicker and these are both over the exact same Wi-Fi network you can see that the 3GS pulled it up much much much much quicker and they're still both receiving the data tick them a little bit a long time to receive the data but this is the first time the 3GS and the 3G have actually used this so we will go to the next application inside the 3GS certainly one there let's go ahead and look to calendar another application that I use quite a bit so I'll open up both at the same time once again the 3GS was noticeably quicker nothing drastic maybe half a second to a second but it still was much quicker so let's try screen rotation next and let's try screen rotation on let's go to notepad for example so let me go ahead and open up a new note and let me open up a new note here as well okay so we both have new notes open on each and let's check out the screen rotation zoom out just a bit so you can get the full effect there we go and again 3GS 3G 3gs was noticeably quicker there let's try it going into portrait mode that was little bit closer for the 3GS still one let's try it one more time once again the 3GS is still quicker okay so next let's load Google Maps something I use quite a bit let's see which one is quicker with these two as well it certainly seems to be a trend that the 3GS is living up to the s in its name and that loaded much faster and there goes the 3G and close both of those now one of the big things people are wondering about are internet speeds now both phones are running on the same ATT's HSDPA 3G network and both are now currently using the same Wi-Fi network let's compare browser speed using the same Wi-Fi let's see if the increase in processor speed actually results in real world speed so I'm going to go ahead and load the exact same website on each okay so both devices have full Wi-Fi strength and I've got a website queued up on each ready to go so let's go ahead and hit go at exactly the same time or as close as I can get and we'll see which one wins we are loading at pocketnow.com on each and it appears at 3GS is noticeably quicker on Wi-Fi I'm gonna have that results in just processor speed and the 3GS is already done both over the same Wi-Fi network while the 3G is still I wouldn't say struggling to load but it's definitely a little bit slower to load and there it goes just finishes up so there really was a very noticeable difference and one thing that I love about the iPhone is the browser but one thing I also noticed that when I scroll down very quickly sometimes I get the black and white checkered bars right there it takes longer to scroll down let's see if that's the same case on the iPhone 3G if I can scroll faster than it can load the page nope I screw it all the way down all the way back up and it's data right with it it's like that is a direct result of the increased processor and RAM so now let's try running the same test both times now over 3G so I'm going to turn Wi-Fi off on each phone okay so Wi-Fi is turned off on each so we've got full five bars on both phones same network strengths on each of 3G we're going to load exactly the same webpage so it's got exactly the same files in memory and let's see if it's any faster over 3G and you would expect that maybe we'll get the same results even though we're running on the same network perhaps the faucet faster processor will result in increased load times go ahead go at the same time again and we're off let's see if the s in 3G s lives up to its name and again this is 3G speed and we are already seeing a noticeable difference with the 3G s already finishing loading the page and the 3G is still loading and we're done on the 3G s the 3G is still loading the page there comes a side bar still going so there really is a very very noticeable difference on 3G let's see if that same scrolling issue occurs if I can scroll faster than it shows up you can see it's blue there and the 3G s is loaded in no problem which was quite interesting actually so let's try this test at least over 3G on one more web page and we'll load engadget.com on each okay so one more test over 3G and certainly your 3G network strength and signal is going to vary from location to location but you can't see in the exact same place on the exact same network what the speed difference is and maybe that pocket now as we just did was a fluke so let's try it again on a different website let go at the same time and we're off and once again the 3GS is noticeably quicker pulling up engadget.com you can already scroll through and start reading the page on each this is a pretty graphic intensive or relatively graphic intensive a lot of pictures on it decent amount of text looks like the 3G caught up that's taken a little bit of a lead the 3GS is sold a little bit and in that this test it looks like a 3G actually one which is quite interesting the 3GS is still loading looks like it's getting close to finishing up so that was very interesting the 3GS took a really early lien load the image is much quicker but the 3G caught up that's like something to keep in mind although I will say that in my experience since I've had the phone for a couple hours now the 3GS does load pages notice a bit quicker perhaps a few exceptions and this is definitely one of them so I don't fairness I'm glad you guys got a chance to see that so let me show you some of the things that you get with the 3GS that you don't get with 3G plug it back to the homescreen and the first in one of the most notable things other than the speed and allegedly increase battery life is the addition of a magnetic compass so let me show you guys what that looks like where did I put the compass there we go compass you can see that as I move around it tells me what direction I'm facing and just have a lot of uses for things like Google Maps so that is quite nice the next thing that you're going to get with the 3GS over the 3G is the voice option so let me show you what that looks like and I'll do further demos of each of these in subsequent videos this is voice commands you hold down the home button and you've got just a ton of voice control actually the controls that you can say are scrolling by you can say dial pause the music control already music right from here and like I said I will do more videos demoing voice control and the next and perhaps most important I would say is the camera and now camcorder options so this uses a three megapixel autofocus camera so I pull this up let's say I want to take a picture of the 3G right there if I tap the screen it will auto focus right on the screen if I move a little bit closer and I want to focus on it tap the screen and it'll auto focus and picture do look noticeably better than they do on a 3G the Apple really optimized the 3 megapixel sensor put this down here you notice on the right hand side I've got a little switch now where I can switch over to camcorder mode and this morning I put up a sample of what video recording looks like on the iPhone 3GS you can check that if you want to see the quality but here is the interface it's very least you can turn it from portrait to landscape and a lot of adjust and it's relatively simple you hit the record button and you just record and you hit stop and you're done and it keeps all of your video and I'll show you really archived right as it would with all your pictures which is quite neat so here's my camera roll with some pictures and if I go let's say there's a screencap idea of a game I was playing and I scroll over here I am now at the video and you got to play and then go ahead and just hit slow and I will say that video quality and you can check out the sample that I did is very nice or any rivals I would say the flip minnow not the flip Mino HD with the regular minnow as far as quality goes and audio fidelity was actually really good so one thing that I've noticed about the 3GS I will also say this may just be me that speaker seems a little bit louder on the 3GS as well and it guys wanted to give you a head Ted comparison of the iPhone 3GS versus the 3G if you want to upgrade you are going to get increased speed and really going to see it in web time web load times and application load times although there will certainly be exceptions to that like we saw with engadget.com but overall if you're due for an upgrade I think the 3GS is a great way to go although if I wasn't due for an upgrade now it's thinking about it you know you might have to think twice about paying the really steep price for the 3GS hope you enjoy it for exclusive content be sure to follow me on twitter twitter.com slash jon for lakers you can ask me all kinds of iphone questions over there I'll put a link in the sidebar hope you guys enjoyed and I'll see you in the next video bye bye
