Fundamentally, this new iPhone feels very much like the old iPhone. It’s apparently lighter than the old one by a minuscule amount, but in my hand it didn’t feel any different from the current iPhone. The biggest cosmetic changes are on the back panel, which is now shiny plastic instead of metal. The back panel is curvier than the one on the current iPhone, and the recessed headphone jack has been replaced with one which lies flush with the iPhone’s body, meaning the days of iPhone headphone adapters are gone forever. (Unless you want to use a microphone with a clicker, in which case you’ll still need one!)

The iPhone 3G’s edge buttons are now silver metal, rather than the black plastic on the current model. The buttons had a sharper edge than I’m used to, though I only pushed them a couple of times.

Apple won’t be providing detailed map data for the iPhone, instead relying on data streamed over digital networks from Google’s servers. Into this breach will most likely step third-party software developers: in fact, GPS-maker TomTom says it’s already got iPhone GPS software ready to go, and I’d expect a lot more competition in this area too, providing features like audio feedback and detailed maps that can be pre-loaded on the iPhone, so if your data connection vanishes, you can still find your way.
