Apple, being the predictable company it is, announced today at its World Wide Developers Conference that, along with other things, they would be replacing the iPhone with the iPhone 3GS.

 As you can see in the picture, the iPhone 3GS looks pretty much identical to its predecessor. They took out the 2MP camera and plopped in a 3MP, not a big improvement. The camera now Auto Focuses now, and can take video which you can edit right on your iPhone. Most of the new features, however, are quite lame, such as a Digital Compass and Voice Control.

 In terms of gaming, the iPhone 3GS definitely steps it up, with much faster performance and a longer battery life. There is also improved Blutooth support, so all those rumors about a joystiq add-on for your iPhone may still be possible.

In general, the new iPhone seems to be a bit of a letdown, with nothing drastically changed and very few new features too care about, it seems as though Apple underdelivered this time with the 3GS. Oh well, they always have the 4G to step it up.
