how do you tell the difference?

I have 3G 8GB and 3GS 32GB ..

Without turning them on ... on the front side there is no way you could identify the difference between the 2 and the only difference on the back side is the label which says ... 8GB & 32GB with no 3GS

This means there is no way you could determine if its 3GS or 3G without turning it on ...

we are drifting from the question...


Lets say this...


you have a 16GB 3G and a 16GB 3GS in your hand.


Without turning them ON, is there a way to tell witch one is the 3G and witch one is the 3GS...


I think they are identical but without turning them on, How can you tell what is what.


I only own a 32GB 3GS. so I cant compare them.

you can tell by looking at the back, the 3Gs has iPhone and the size in silver. the 3G is grey.

Also, I thought that they had the switches on the left side of the phone ( if your looking at the face ) were Silver on the 3GS and black on the 3G . . . I could be wrong I don't own a 3G I had a 2G and a 3GS

Thanks,

Sorry that was supposed to be a reply to the guy that said it didnt matter its an Iphone

Watch who you're calling "guy".

Yes on the 3GS you can see the lettering on the back is silver and on the 3 G it's grey that's the only physical difference on the exterior of the phone

the bottom lettering on the back of the iphone that sais iphone and states what gigabyte it is and all the good stuff we dont care about will be in shiny chrome like the apple logo, thats the 3GS the 3G just has a gray type of writing on it thats rather plain.

and of course when you turn it on itl be quite obvious what youre phone is.

i assume you would know wich phone youve bought though ;]

Cosmetically the difference is something quite simple on the 3gS the letters on the back of the phone are shiny. On the 3g they are grey.
