Iphone 3GS – More hidden than revealed?

In: Gadgets

21 Jun 2009

After the release of the iPhone 3GS, more details about the hardware used to power the gadget is spreading in blogosphere.

Some of the interesting facts are,

1. The processor is under clocked. The processor used in iPhone is capable of a clock speed of 833 MHz but it is clocked down to 600 MHz.

2. It can record videos in 720P (1280×720) HD resolution. But Apple decided to limit it to VGA (640×480).

The only assumption is, Apple wanted to save some battery power. But imagine, if Apple decided to include a better battery, what a great gadget it could’ve been. HD Video recording plus one of the best processor in a mobile device. The only hope is that, a later software upgrade may enable these features.

You can see the full tear apart video below.
