iPhone 3GS has new oleophobic screen
Lost in yesterday's torrent of information was that the new iPhone 3GSes have a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic screen which may go further in reducing oils left on the iPhone. Apparantly the change wasn't big enough news to warrant time at the Keynote.

it is on the website, i think its the features page or something.
That means "afraid of margarine" :-)
Full of trans fat, you know ... be afraid. Be very afraid.
Instructions should say "Avoid getting moisture in openings - unless you want to void your warranty!" I would never purposely put water on the screen after hearing about several people sweating on theirs and triggering the moisture sensors. I certainly hope they change the sensitivity on those. Dropping it in a toilet is one thing, dripping sweat is another.
Notice they don't mention "damp" anymore and say a dry cloth.
Wow, you just proved you're a douche and a very successful one at it. I. Am. Impressed. Mr. Ulfoaf. Just that you lack a major part of intelligence and spread your shit at the wrong place. Try the sissy house next time. Ok ?
Yea I read this yesterday on the Apple site. I wish it as an OLED screen instead lol!
hmmmm guess I should wash my hands after…
Oh I forgot kids read this site.....
How is this going to affect the Anti-Glare Film Set I ordered with my new phone?
I applied Anti-Glare Film to my first gen iPhone on day one, and have had no problem since.
the new 3GS works with APPLES IN EAR headphones too!!!
THIS IS NOTEWORTHY! at the end of your post... you can say
"Thanks Mitch."
thanxx post!
Then that & the compass are what the current 3G owners are missing.
Try just rubbing the screen face on your slacks with your 3G or 1st Gen.
Same effect and FREE.
I see now why this is such a worthy upgrade. LMAOROF.
No really... that one made my day.
I know it's not much but for people like me who have waited from the original iPhone to upgrade it's a pretty big step. I was holding out until they put 32GBs into it. now I can finally put all of music on it without having to leave anything off. I hate that "You know what I want to listen to...oh wait its not on my iPhone"
And they're missing that fact that the 3GS can switch between apps much faster because it has twice the ram and probably a much faster processor. And it can play music while you're using Safari without crashing because it has more ram. And when you're in Safari you can have many more tabs open without having to reload the page every time you switch tabs because it has more ram. And I'm willing to bet the pictures and video are a million times better because of the 3MP camera and the autofocus lens. And the better battery life. And then the faster 7.2 HSPA 3G connection when it comes out. And for those of us who still have a first gen model who were waiting for features other then just 3G, this is a significant update. And with the compass I'm sure game developers will be able to add some cool features.
Just because it doesn't look amazingly different doesn't mean it's a bad product. You can say it's "just" a better camera, and "just" a compass, and "just" better quality video, and "just" better battery life. But really the only difference between the first gen and the 3G was literally only the addition of GPS and 3G. That's it. Two features, one of which causes much lower battery life and higher monthly bills. So really the jump from the second to third gen is much, much more significant than the jump from the first to second gen. The only thing bugging you crybaby 3G owners is the contract you signed into a year ago that says that AT&T subsidized the cost of the phone and you need to pay them back for it for another 6 to 8 months before you can get a new phone at a super cheap price again, where you'll sign up for a new contract and then complain again next June when a new model comes out and you can't upgrade again.
Customers have given Apple billions for mostly HDD upgrades in the iPod for years. When you start with a great design, you only need to make incremental changes to keep the customer coming back :-)
The trick is, you have to have something to talk about on a regular basis to keep the people wanting (in other words, never deliver every feature you can, slowly release them).
This is very clever as my friend is always complaining that his iPhone screen gets very dirty after he makes a call and we tell him it's cos he has a greasy face! With this screen he wouldn't need to worry!

It is strange to note that many iPhone users accept the claim of Apple that the iPhone is about the software and not the hardware, but at the same time complain when the hardware is not changed significantly.
So the iPhone got quite an update now as both hardware and software changed. Just because the software becomes available for older models as well, does not take away its new additions.
While Nokia and the likes seem to release new models every day and change their appearance regularly to stay on top of the game, it is a nice move from Apple to offer just one model and keep the design for more than a year.
Does this mean I'll have to get a shrink for my new iPhone to help it deal with its phobia?
Will the iPod touch get a new oleophobic screen and better processor too?
It's great Apple is using this new material to help reduce oil and fingerprints on their new iPhone 3GS model... whether it will just minimize excess oil or be completely resistant is uncertain. I've been using iKlear cleaner/polish to keep all my Apple products clean as well... they include a new antibacterial cloth it their kits to kill germs on devices you or others touch a lot. Pretty cool!
iKlear is okay, and you can get it at the apple store, so that is convenient, but iKlenz, for the same price, has been a better for option in that it seems to address the iPhone in general. They even include a sleek black microfiber case you can throw the iPhone in, or just throw the cleaning stuff in to travel with.
Overall the Oleophobic material is good, but these products like iKlenz and iKlear really tackle the oil problem and try to restore the iPhones original newness :)
