There are 3 kinds of iphone models available today, not including those differentiated only by flash drive size, and two of them are currently on the market. Then there are a few models of iPod Touch floating around as well. All in all, there are tens of millions of these touch screen gizmos in the pockets of people in the United States, Canada, and all over the world. The vast majority of iPhone owners download at least a few apps now and then. These days however, many of them are left questioning whether or not they still have access to the best of the best.

The new iphone 3gs though, after all, is sprinkled with several new features. That means 3GS owners can do things that 3G owners can’t. 3G owners, in the same way, have capabilities that original iPhone owners don’t. Does this mean that the best of the app store is only available to people with the better features? Let’s take a closer look after we take a quick peek at the cost of the 3 different model iPhones.
The original iPhone was relatively expensive for a phone, what made thing worse for users in the usa was the lack of availability of iphone insurance products, as Apple wanted customers to take out icare products, so stopped the network carriers from offering i phone insurance. The 3G came along at a slightly higher price and became a big hit as people wanted the faster web connection offered by the 3G model. The real price hike came with the launch of the 3GS iPhone, in the UK, the 3GS purchase price jumped up to around GBP 700 for the 32 gb model. Luckily, the iphone insurance market is strong, allowing uk customers to take out stand alone insurance without the apple icover.

Remembering back, when you get right down to it, so long as they’ve taken advantage of the new upgrades along the way, all iPhone owners run the same operating system. That means that from a basic software point of view, everything is exactly the same across the board. What changed in the 3G from the original was a faster network, a slightly better camera and GPS. From the 3G to the 3GS came a compass, a video camera, a larger RAM and voice controls.
With the above in mind, you’ll find that most apps work across the board. Remember, the best iPhone apps deal with very basic things, at least in terms of iPhone capabilities. Some are games that require little more than use of the touch screen and accelerometer. Others are word processors or other kinds of office tools that, again, just want the touch screen so you can enter data.

There are apps that like to communicate with the net and other iPhones in some way, most of the iphones do that trick. Even with the lesser Edge network it doesn’t matter because most intercommunicating apps use the Bluetooth or WiFi. Even then, very few apps seem to mess around with this at all, except for games.
What you’ll find is that the only apps that are available for one iPhone and not the other are the ones that specifically require features that certain phones don’t have. Navigational apps will require an iPhone that at least uses GPS. Video camera apps will, obviously, require the iPhone that has video capture capabilities.

Really, all the iphone apps get round the minimum requirments. For instance, a new highly sought out app feature is augmented reality. This requires the iPhone to have a compass. The apps that offer augmented reality still work on the other phones, just without that extra capability. For the most part, that won’t really make the app much less functional, just a little less cool. The bottom line is that, for some people, the best features come from the latest iPhones, but the best apps can be used by anyone.
