Generation Three
So I got a new iPhone like we all knew I would. The perks of 3G, more storage and better performance are worth every extra penny paid.
Thus far, the speed increase of the internet has been the most noticeable. EDGE is like reliving the old-school dial-up days… it would be like using CompuServe again. 3G seems to be roughly along the same caliber as having the phone on wifi. The speed increase matters the most with apps like maps… where you are lost and finding your way quickly has a value.
With 32GB of storage, I have awhile before I need to worry about space. My pervious 8GB was always near full… to the point that I had to jungle items around. It was part of the reason for my rapid app review cycle – if an app was very interesting or frequently used, it was gone. Same story with podcasts… after a few days of not listening to a download, it was gone. I also had to download my photos daily. All of these concerns are now behinds me… but I am sure that they will sneak up again.
I had not really considered the performance increases much for the purchase; however, it has been one of the more noticeable features. Apps are booting nearly twice as fast; and more importantly, the transition between apps is much smoother. I posted a few videos on Flickr with my results… old iPhone versus new iPhone. Due to in-game performance increase, I have beat nearly all of my previous high-scores.
Again, I am very happy with my upgrade to the new hardware. My first-generation hardware served me well, and has been retired in perfect working order. I am also happy that I skipped the second-generation hardware; 3G alone was not enough reason to upgrade.
