Apple iPhone 3G (Pre-production Model)

Pre-production version of the 8GB Apple iPhone 3G.

It is the second generation of iPhone, successor to the original iPhone. It was introduced on June 9, 2008 at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. On July 11, 2008, Apple released the iPhone 3G across twenty-two countries in two storage options, 8GB and 16GB.

The iPhone 3G is internally similar to its predecessor, but included several new hardware features, such as GPS, 3G data and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA. The device was originally loaded with the concurrently launched iPhone OS 2.0. In addition to other features (including push email and turn-by-turn navigation), this new operating system introduced the App Store—Apple's new distribution platform for third-party applications.
