5 Features Missing From The Apple iPhone 3G S

Almost everything has been said about the iPhone 3G S although no one has yet to receive a full working version and do a proper investigation of the iconic handset.

Apple judiciously chose to make the phone almost perfect leaving out some crucial features that can be added in next year's iPhone 4G.

Guest writer, Tim Belfall, wrote a list of 20 features that he thought Apple will should add to the iPhone 3G S. To Apple's credit, many of the missing features like a better camera, tethering, a video recorder and better battery life, have been introduced since then plus more features coming thanks to the new iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade.

But still there are five important features that Apple may yet choose to introduce next year.

(1) Flash

Where is the flash? Granted Apple has improved the low-light performance of the iPhone's onboard camera but it would still perform poorly compared to flash-enabled devices like the overwhelming number of competitors (bar Android smartphones on the market).

But then a flash is a power-hungry feature which might have reduced battery life considerably. Which would explain Apple's decision.

(2) Micro SD Card reader

We do understand that Apple is using storage capacity as a price differentiator. The three iPhone on sale will feature three different internal memory capacity.
