According to Phil Schiller, a key figure at Apple, the “S” in “3GS” stands for “Speed.” Improvements included performance, a 3-megapixel camera with higher resolution and video ability, voice control, and support for 7.2 Mbit/s HSDPA downloads. It was released in the United States, Canada, and six European countries on June 19, 2009, in Australia and Japan on June 26, and elsewhere internationally in July and August 2009.
