3Gs? My original iPhone, bought on the first day it was available on June 29, 2007, was finally retired as a phone, after being handed down through various family members, last April or May. . . but it is STILL being used as an iPod by my 3 year old granddaughter. It is on it's original battery, which has never been changed, and has been in continuous use for 7 and a half years! That batter still takes a charge and holds about 80% of the standby and usage time it originally had. Utterly amazing. So much for all those naysayers who claimed the original iPhone battery would have to be replaced and would be a problem, being a non-user replaceable item. . . from day one.
Similar with my iPod touch. In fact, it has held up better than my classic ipod. Too outdated for software updates, but it still works smoothly in it’s functions. What’s even more crazy is the fact that new iOS is going to essentially play games that were on XBox 360 (Bioshock) although the controls would be terrible, having such processing power in your hands is awesome.
