Sorry, we don’t have pictures but Apple took us into a dramatically lit
back-room to check out the new iPhone 3G. Here’s what you need to know:

  • We did a quick data test — at our location we went from
    104Kbps on the EDGE iPhone to 215Kbps on the 3G model. 2x ain’t bad, yo.
  • The
    enable/disable 3G setting is real, and buried a few menus deep. There
    is no automatic switching, Apple just assumes you’ll leave 3G on, and
    that the iPhone has the juice to support that usage.
  • It’s tri-band 3G, as we reported the other day. This same phone will ship worldwide.
  • WiFi is still 802.11b/g, no support for n yet.
  • Yes, that GPS is A-GPS, just as we mentioned.
