Apple iPhone 3GS arrived this Friday to the stores in eight countries, but the ranks of those who are being trained on the doors of Apple stores around the world are shorter and less messy than during the launch of the previous model last year, said the expert Dan Frommer of Silicon Alley Insider.
One reason for the poor demand is not much difference between the original iPhone and new 3G, so the owners probably are not rushing to upgrade, said Frommer.
Apple will begin on Monday to take orders and send the equipment directly to homes and businesses.
In an AT & T store in Grand Central Station in New York a group of people did row before the opening of the seven o’clock to buy the iPhone 3GS.
“I was expecting something better than 3G,” said Hirem Shaw, who bought the 32 GB version of 3GS valued at $ 299.
The 16-gigabyte model costs $ 199.
Shaw said he was satisfied with the increased speed and capacity of its new phone, but complained about the service contract with AT & T Inc, the sole operator for the iPhone.
The phone has a faster processor, more battery life and the ability to record video.
However, since many people had already reserved the new phone, which offers a more modest technological leap compared to the current model, analysts had anticipated that the first day would be fewer crowds than in previous releases.

Fast, faster iPhone 3G S – according to Apple is the third-generation iPhone is twice as fast as its predecessor, iPhone 3G.
