Why Iphone 3gs 16g and 32g disappear?

Some one knows why these iPhone 16g and 32g models disappear of the market? I will go to buy the iPhone 3gs of 8g, but I would want to know why this.....

This is what Apple did with the 3G last year when the 3GS was released.
There is a 16GB and 32GB iPhone 4, and an 8GB 3GS. The 16GB and 32GB 3GS have been discontinued since there is a 16GB and 32GB iPhone 4, and the iPhone 3G has been discontinued altogether.
Copied from this link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone
The iPhone was initially released with two options for internal storage size: 4 GB or 8 GB. On September 5, 2007, Apple discontinued the 4 GB models.[60] On February 5, 2008, Apple added a 16 GB model.[61] The iPhone 3G was available in 16 GB and is still available with 8 GB. The iPhone 3GS comes in 16 GB and 32 GB variants.
This is a business decision.

  • IPhone 3Gs 16G and BMW Mini One 2008

    Hi,
    I would like to listen to my iTunes tracks while driving. I have a BMW MINI ONE and I tried the apple FM transmitter but it didn't work.
    Do any of you know what kind of transmitter would work to BMW Mini and if there are some other options than using the transmitter.
    Thank you!

    You can retro-fit an iPod Interface fitted into the top glove compartment, costs about £300 fitted at a uk dealer.
    Below is the instructions for an R56 but consult with mini dealer before carrying out as details change often.

  • IPhone 4: 16g ir 32g? Currently have 32g 3GS.

    iPhone 4: 16g ir 32g? Currently have 32g 3GS. Could survive on 16 on the 3GS, but worried that if I go to iPhone4, I will need the 32g because
    1) higher resolution in photos and videos taking more gigs
    2) tending to use it to use it instead of camera for pics and video because it supposed to be so great
    Does a pic, a movie, take up exactly the same amount of memory on the iPhone4 as the 3Gs.

    If it's within your budget, i'd go with the 32gb iPhone 4. I did. I love it! And with the new awesome camera, i'll surely be using much more often than my original iPhone enjoy!

    The thing is now 3GS is left out when the next version say its iPhone 6 , 6S, 6C ..., then iPhone 4 will face the same sitution which 3GS are facing now and it goes on . Phones are not just for 2yrs 3 yrs if that is the case i would have got Samsung , Sony etc . Why do i prefer Iphone ?
    Samsung, Sony and every other company are constantly coming out with new models and dropping older models.  Many older Android phones also cannot be updated to newer OS versions, as their manufacturers don't release firmware updates for them.  Apple is not unique in that aspect of the business - they are all competing with eachother.
    Despite many people's wishes that companies were ultra-altruistic, they are not (and largely because their share holders do not want them to be).  They make products to sell them and make profits, and whatever is necessary to do that in an ultra-competitive market is what will be done.  The pace of change is not going to slow down, if anything, it is just going to continue to ramp up.  And millions of happy share holders, and tens of millions of iPhone customers are constantly demanding more new things, not stable older things.
    That said, the iPhone 5c and Apple's move into the trade in program, are attempts to offer better options to people on a tighter budget than others.
    But, as with any personal item, you buy what you can afford.  Nobody is entitled to the best and the greatest just because others have it.

  • Apple Care Warranty - Iphone 3Gs 16g discontinued

    My warranty is ending in a few weeks and I never used it yet.. my phone is actually getting tired, Home button not always working, weird sport in the screen, battery draining really fast..
    I just read that Apple Store don't have any Iphone 3gs 16gig anymore to sell at their stores.
    I was just wondering, if I get there to use my warranty and get a new Iphone, will they get me a refurbished 3gs 16g and a Iphone 4 ?
    In the AppleCare contract, do they have the right to replace my Iphone with a refurbished one ?
    Thanks

    A refurbished iPhone from apple is pretty much new. The glass will be new and the back casing will be new so it looks new. The serial number will be new & since the SIM card try has the serial number on it the SIM card tray will be new too.
    I've had three refurbished iPhones for warranty issues and they have all appeared to look new and have no issues out of the box or issues related to them being refurbished.

    I agree with John, if you are going through more than 2 error codes that are ALL different (say for example 1604 and 21, they should be back and forth depending on what you do to correct it), you're having serious hardware failure.

    If your iphone has been unofficially unlokced then it will indeed be locked when updated.  Is this the case?

  • Battery Drain after iOS 6 Update on my iPhone 3GS -16G

    My iPhone 3GS 16G on iOS 6 after update.
    2 - 3 hours it's flat & thats from a full 100% (over night) charged phone with no use
    & then keeps switching on & off for 20mins or so in charge mode after it's been pluged in to the charger.
    Never had a problem on the old iOS 5.1.1 got up to 2 Days on standby .
    Never had a problem with my phone ever until the new iOS 6 install.
    ... GET IT SORTED APPLE PLEASE A.S.A.P

    Got onto Apple Teckies yesterday & spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with a very helpfull bloke
    that went through everything.
    At this stage my phone has been reinstalled with iOS 6 as a New Phone (Like a test mode) so NONE
    of my APP's or Settings only my Contacts from iCloud (As a New phone would come out of the box).
    ... From the time we finished uploading the iOS 6 softwear untill now my phone has only used 40%
    battery so it's looking good.
    If this works I then have to conect my phone with my iTunes & Reinstall from my Back Up to get all
    My App's & Settings back.
    ... Then we will see if it has worked.
    ... Will let you all know what happens in the next 48 Hours.

  • I got my iphone 3gs.. and since i updated it to 5.O from 4.1 ive noticed a recurring shut off when im open any of my application..

      i got my iphone 3gs.. and since i updated it to 5.O from 4.1 ive noticed a recurring shut off when im open any of my application..

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup, then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • Why did my iPhoto and Mail disappear?

    Why did my iPhoto and Mail disappear?  I also lost and had to reload Quicken.  This all happened in three days.

    The applications are gone.  First Quicken disappeared and I reloaded it from the disk yesterday. Today Mail, Contacts and iPhoto disappeared.  No one else uses my computer and I've had no other crashes and I haven't made any changes.  I don't think anything else is missing.  Apple is sending me disks so I can reload the missing stuff but they wouldn't speculate on why it happened nor whether it will continue.  Thanks for helping.

  • IPhone 3GS stuck and I cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

    My iPhone 3GS stuck and i cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

    this usually appears when your iphone is not registered correctly with apple/itunes so plug it in to your computer and try setting it up if it gives you the correct prompt. if not try to restore and sync. usually tis problem appears when your iphone has no sim card or is not registered correctly. in this case you need to contact your carrier and set up an account. if you are trying to use it without a service or sim card then unless you go through some sketchy program of hacking it it is worthless to you without a sim or service plan. i have the original iphone1 i got from a buddy of mine i used as an ipod before getting an iphone4 and if i took the sim out this message appears. if you do have a sim and a service plan than there might be a problem with the phone reading the sim card you you can go into your service provider's store and request a new sim to see if that works.
    I am sorry if none of this is helpful for i have no other suggestions.
