iPhone vs. iPhone 3G

Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2008 by | Add a comment

Some how, the crafty folks over at iLounge have managed to get hold of/take a photo comparing the current iPhone to iPhone 3G.

iPhone vs. iPhone 3G

From these pictures, you can see how much of a difference the the curvature of the back makes. The un-recessed headphone jack is also very obvious. An althought the black plastic does look an little cheap. It is still overall, IMHO, an equally attractive phone.

Once Black You Never Go Back!?

Posted on Monday, June 16, 2008 by | 4 comments

Why does everyone seem to hate the 16GB white version of the iPhone 3G?

I think that Johnny Ive and his team that he whips into photoshop mode as he stands by Steve Jobs’ side riding swiftly through the design department of the Apple campus on a glorious Apple branded chariot driven by beautiful white stallions (ok so maybe a little bit of poetic license there) do a fantastic job of making products that, if legal, I know some people would marry for their beauty.

The latest installment to the Apple design family is the iPhone 3G. Much similar to the iPhone 1.0, the iPhone 3G has one distinct difference. The back. On the 1.0 model the iPhone had a mostly metal back with a small black plastic bit towards the bottom.

This will probably look familiar to you all but what about the latest 3G iPhone design. The latest iPhone design has 2 different backs. Although the front is almost indistinguishable from the old iPhone the back looks quite different.
