iPhone 3GS
The iPhone 3GS is the third generation of iPhone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It was introduced on June 8, 2009 at the WWDC 2009 which took place at the Moscone Center, San Francisco.
Its features primarily consist of faster performance, a camera with higher resolution and video capability, voice control,[7] and support for 7.2 Mbit/sHSDPA downloading (but remains limited to 384 kbps uploading as Apple had not implemented the HSUPA protocol).[8] It was released in the U.S., Canada and six European countries on June 19, 2009,[2] in Australia and Japan on June 26, and internationally in July and August 2009.
The iPhone 3GS runs Apple's iOS operating system, the same operating system as used on iPhones, the iPad, and the iPod touch. It is primarily controlled by a user's fingertips on the multi-touch display, which is sensitive to fingertip contact. Without modification, the iPhone restricts users from running any software that is not explicitly approved by Apple and distributed via its App Store. Doing so could potentially cause issues with software functionality which may not be covered under warranty
