Apple iPhone 3G S: Unboxing Pics

The iPhone 3G S is here, and before you get to play with it you must first negotiate Apple's legendary and super-ergonomic packaging.

The iPhone 3G S box looks pretty similar to Apple's recent iPhone packaging...

It all fits snugly inside, so as to minimise waste of materials.

Under the iPhone you'll find all the essential iPhone accessories.

The instructions are housed in the card wallet under the iPhone, and the SIM-eject tool is cleverly attached to the card sans glue. You also get a set of Apple stickers to really nail your colours to the 'I'm a Mac' cause.

Here's all the contents - earbuds with mic and inline remote, new slimline mains AC plug, USB cable, SIM-eject tool, instructions, and of course the iPhone 3G S.

The iPhone itself looks identical to the iPhone 3G - it doesn't even say 'iPhone 3G S' on the back.

But it's an iPhone 3G S alright - check out the compass icon on the home screen!

And here it is in action. Check back with us later today when we'll bring you video footage of the iPhone 3G S in action. We'll also have the results of our first speed tests and a first look review.

The iPhone 3G S is on sale now across the country as stores open.
