Will the iphone 3gs have imessage?

Was just wondering if anyone knew if the Iphone 3GS will have imessage with the new IOS 5 update? and also what else will the 3GS get with the update as i know it won't have everything

My daughters use our old 3GS iPhones as glorified iPod Touches. They have both found in good Wi-Fi environments they can use Find a Friend App to iMessage to their friends that have iPhones or iPod Touches that have upgraded to iOS5. Once they have started iMessage, then they can continue conversations using the Text App, all using the unlimited character text of iMessage. Can NOT iMessage to a non-iPhone as they don't have SIM cards with phone numbers in these iPhone 3GS's.

  • Will the iPhone 3Gs 32 GB slower than the 16 or 8 GB 3Gs models

    i just want to know that will the 32 gb iphone 3gs will be slower than the mobels with less storage as i had a n97 32 gb wich was slower than the 16 gb n97 mini

    No.
    The iPhone 3GS 16GB and 32GB have the same processor, the same amount of RAM, and the same graphics card.
    The only difference with the 3GS is the storage capacity.
    The same for the iPhone 3G and with the original iPhone.

  • Will the iPhone 3GS be eligible for the next IOS?

    I was wondering anyones opinions whether the iPhone 3gs would be able to handle the next ios after ios 6 ?
    Any opinions welcome thanks!

    No one said you were speculating, but to answer your question would require speculation.
    The only idiot here is the one that asks others to violate the terms of use by answering a question that none of us are privy to the answers to.

  • How Much Will The iPhone 3GS cost me?

    I currently have an iPhone 3G and I've been with AT&T since December of 2007. How much will it end up costing me if i where to get the 16GB iPhone 3GS? Would it be 199 or ??? Thanks
    -Jesse-

    it depends if you're eligible for an upgrade. you have the iphone 3G, so you just got that around june 2008 or after, so you renewed your contract with at&t regardless if you had been with them since dec 2007. so that's a new 2-year contract. check upgrade availablity on www.wireless.att.com. if not, then you'll have to pay $130 to break the contract and buy the 3G S for $199 or $299 depending on what you like. or the no-commitment price of $599 for 16GB & $699 for the 32GB.
    i have the iphone 3G, and there's really little difference on the 3G S (video,compass etc).. i would just wait for next year when i'm finished with my 2-year contract and when the next gen iphone will be available.. it would be a hassle to break contract now and break contract again on the next gen iphone.. but it's your choice.. good luck..

  • Will the iPhone 5 have the finger print scanner?

    I recently bought an iPhone 5 not knowing that the 5s is coming out and I wanted to know if the iPhone 5 will have the finger print scanner on the next update.

    A software update will not change the hardware in your phone.

  • Will the iPhone 3gs ios be updated in some way in future?

    As the plans disclosed on june 10, 2013 at the apple developer conference indicated that iOS7 will not be available for the Ipad and iPhone 3gs will these devices be kept up-to-date. I.e. IOS updates in some way?

    No one here knows what Apple will do with respect to updates on earlier products. The original iPad is already limited to iOS 5.1.1 and cannot be updated to iOS 6. Some early models of iPhone cannot be updated to iOS 6.
    Apple has published that iOS 7 will run on iPhone 4 and later, the iPad 2 and later and the fifth generation iPod. Apple also stated that not all features of iOS 7 will work on all devices.

  • Will the iPhone 3G have SMS capability?  If true, then I missed this...

    Where can I find the documentation on what my wife's iPhone will get with the update. I pre-ordered my iPhone 3GS today, so we will see what happens on Friday.

    Hi,
    I assume you really mean MMS. SMS has been available since the original iPhone was released. Note that that MMS relies on functionality provided by AT&T (in the USA) and as the note on the above page mentions:
    "MMS support from AT&T coming in late summer."
    which could well mean September, so don't expect it to be working when you get the phone.

  • What will the iPhone 5S have? When will it come out?

    Just wondering when to get a new iPhone, what will the main upgrades be, etc.

    As shldr2thewheel stated whatever has been released to the general public is what everybody else using these forums will know.
    To keep up to date on the latest news on Apple news, reviews or product release information see the link below:
    http://www.apple.com/au/hotnews/
    If it hasnt been stated on that website then no new information has been released therefor you would need to wait till an update for a new device has been made public.
    Hope this helps

  • Will the iPhone 5 have a keyboard

    I would personal switch to iPhone from droid if it had an keyboard

    If it's really that necessary: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Sliding-Keyboard-Rubberized/dp/B0052CHO S2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324589869&sr=8-1
    It's a bluetooth keyboard, so just setup the keyboard in Settings. It should charge via USB. Works with iPhone 4 and 4S.
    I made the switch from a Droid 1 to the iPhone. It felt weird not having a keyboard but now it's just natural.

  • (UK) When will the iPhone 3GS come back in stock? :(

    I tried to get a 16GB white one and both Carphone Warehouse and o2 and they are both out of stock on their website and in store. I asked them when they will be getting stock back in, and they both said they don't know.
    Does anyone have a brief idea of when it will return? I need to get one by the end of the week.
    Thanks,
    Justin

  • Will the iphone 5 have better Bluetooth capability?

    All current iPhones are very limited.  Specifically my car will notify me of new SMS and read SMS out loud with most smart phones but not with any iPhone because of their limited Bluetooth file transfer capability.  I've seen lots of posts complaining that phones from 2004 had better Bluetooth functionality.  Are Apple going to do anything to address this?  I'm guessing not.

    I think it's pretty good now:
