Ease into the Switch

All iPhones get a free update to iPhone 3.0, even the original iPhone, but some features are only available on newer hardware including the iPhone 3GS. So, you may be wondering why some features you’ve seen aren’t showing up on your phone. Thankfully, Apple has published a support document titled iPhone: Which iPhone 3.0 software features does my iPhone support? that lists the iPhone OS 3.0 feature and capability differences across iPhone models.

Here are some extremely fascinating, ultra-high frame rate shots in High Definition courtesy of the SprintCam v3 showreel made for the NAB 2009 exhibition. They’re mostly shot at 1000 FPS but the reel ends with some video shot at 2500 FPS.

Apple let Andy Ihnatko have an iPhone 3GS a week and a half before the release date. Here’s a whole bunch of pix he shot as he tested out the features of its new 3 megapixel variable focus camera.
