The white iPhone 3G(S) is very beautiful, but the black one is too when it is in good shape. The 3G(S) had black front bezels and a white back, something Apple returned to with the iPhone SE 2020. I always liked this setup on the Sony Xperia Z, Z1 and Z2 as well.

            Typing from it, I've always loved this since 2005. Bought one for 10,000$ one night and I never regretted it, in fact, I have downloaded like 15 games and yes it does heat up fast. But if you do some modding you can get iOS 15 on it + you can mod it to iPhone 13 specifications. It was a complicated process but I did it and I now use this as my daily driver. Out of all phones this beats them. I've got everything on it — from family photos to flappy bird.
            I love this phone.

                    It's shocking how people are reviewing a 2009 phone based on a 2022 (2021) experience, of course the experience will be bad, it would be crazy if the phone acted fine, phones get obsolete, meaning the new apps we have are more demanding and require more resources than the older phones can offer, it has 256mb of ram, and your phone will be very slow in 2022 with 2gb ram, (4gb minimum is what I currently recommend).

The 3GS is only usable to any extent because it got iOS 6. It is like installing windows 7 to an old PC. 2. Nobody asked and your input is generally useless. I mean I can tell you I am using an iPhone 6 Plus right now on iOS 12, but does this knowledge change you, the viewer’s, life? No, your comment is useless... though I guess ironically, so is mine. The comment I made here to disapprove of yours is equally as useless as I claim yours is. It is a uselessnessception. My input is worthless and people here are probably thinking that we’re both generally bad at making comments. I can picture each person that sees this being like “what the-“. Maybe I’m over thinking this. I’m tired.

                            Looks good, but from inside no use!!! when, I bought this thing like 10 months ago, i inserted my sim, and for checkup, i tried calling the landline, and instead it said, that this won't go local, but ISD CALL ONLY!!! I thought the problem might be in the SIM, so I removed and inserted it again!! Again problem!!! Then I deleted the data!!! And I selled it to someone for a very good price!!!

                                  This phone acts really weird whenever I go onto YouTube. So recently (Note: I'M REMAKING THIS NOTE FROM A 2012 REVIEW), It doesn't even have FM Radio? Like, Ok? I tried loading a Sudoku app, Literally took 13 tries in only 5 minutes, like really? The Wi-Fi Bar doesn't even appear, I'm like sitting here on my Smart Television with nothing to watch and it's boring, 256MB is not even enough to run a whole Instagram Account, 1400mAh is really bad, My model was really slow, When I upgraded to IOS 6.1.6, It was very laggy, But luckily I could actually run a Facebook Account. The quality of videos are really bad, I watched a 4K Video on YouTube Online, Literally only 240p? Like I couldn't even see a bear's eyes on the 4K Nature Video, The quality is really bad while watching the Patrick In Low Quality Cranks To Soulja Boy Meme is was way bad than the original quality, Apple come on, I got a Samsung Galaxy S3.

                                      AlexiaFox, 29 Jun 2021This can somehow still play YouTube videos on its original Safari browser on iOS 6.1.6. For a ... moreIt is not surprising, because youtube support HTML video player, so any phone browser with support for HTML format like video player or website can play video or open a website in full design not mobile format like Old Nokia symbian which not support HTML encoding

                                      The unsupported format is Flash Player which known for bug and security issue, however even it is can play youtube, because of low ram some website with high data will crash, so it means 3GS can’t open mostly now modern website with high design
