3G iPhone: Up to 1500KB Per Second Downloads and GPS
Their has been some more breaking information about the new features in the upcoming 3G iPhone from Apple.
I remember when I got my iPhone the first week it came out, the download speeds used to be a lot faster when I was browsing the web or using YouTube. Within a few weeks after that, their was noticeable difference in speed. BoyGeniusReport noted that prior to the rush of iPhones, the Edge network was getting around 200-250Kbps. I think anyone who has an iPhone now can tell you it is a lot slower than that today. That’s where 3G comes in.
The new 3G iPhone offers a drastic improvement on download speeds, possibly up to 1500Kbps.
According to Om Malik, the new iPhone also has GPS built in to every phone to comply with legal requirements set by the FCC. The GPS hardware is being supplied by Broadcom of Irvine, California.
This is definitely good news if you were thinking about the next generation iPhone.
