iPhone 3GS technical specs released
T-Mobile Netherlands has posted some hardware specs for new iPhone 3GS which largely confirm details leaked in the weeks leading up to WWDC.
The main difference is the faster, 600MHz processor (up from 412MHz and 532MHz) and 256MB of RAM — which doubles the previous model’s 128MB. Both will obviously contribute to the speed improvements mentioned in the WWDC keynote address.
MacRumors notes that the new iPhone is also believed to use the new PowerVR SGX GPU which will support OpenGL ES 2.0. This has not been confirmed by Apple and since the iPhone 3GS won’t ship until June 19, we’ll most like have to wait for the teardown reports in nine days to find out for sure.
