Apple has announced the next iPhone, the iPhone 3GS. The S supposedly stands for speed. The look of the new iPhone is basically the same as the old one. Key upgrades are found in performance. Apple says it will be able to perform many of its functions “up to” two times faster, the key words being “up to.”

Some new features of the iPhone 3GS is its 3-megapixel camera w/ auto-focus and improved low-light sensitivity. It now has a special macro mode, along with automatic white balance and exposure. It’s also able to capture video at 640 x 480 at 30 frames per second. If you want to edit video, there’s a new video editing app included, allowing you to edit clips using multi-touch control.

Another long awaited improvement is extended battery life. Apple says the iPhone 3GS will last nine hours using WiFi, compared to six hours before, will play video for 10 hours, up from seven hours with the iPhone 3G. You’ll get 30 hours of audio playback is opposed to 24, and 12 hours of talk time on 2G instead of 10 hours, but 3G talk time is the same at five hours.

iPhones will be offered in three different memory sizes: a 32GB model selling for $299, a 16GB for $199, and an 8GB iPhone 3G for $99. All will be for sale starting June 19.
