Apple iPhone 3G is Twice as Fast? Think Twice.

August 13th, 2008 | Category: Gadgets, Video Clips | 6 Comments

We watched the Apple 3G iPhone commercial. It is so cool! It is so fast! But, is iPhone 3G “really” that fast? rrrrrrrroooooooo did a test of iPhone 3G speed in real life and compare with the Apple iPhone 3G ads video.

 

Apparently, iPhone 3G in test is much slower than the advertised speed. Well, we know it is “commercial” but the speed differs too much in real life (although it is considered fast on mobile phone). Do you feel cheated?

The video made me re-think to keep Apple iPhone 3G in my wish list or not, well, for 3 seconds. I’ll still get an iPhone 3G if it is available and affordable for me. It is just so cool! :P
