Default Iphone 3GS, will it work with itunes ?

Forgive me if this is a basic question to some, can someone tell me if the iphone 3GS will work with itunes ? Its just i was out with a mate the other night and he said that you would need the iphone 4 to work with itunes, is that correct ?

If this is a real question ... all of Apple's mobile products (iPod, Touch, iPhone) regardless of version use iTunes.

Correct mate, i aint got a clue about Apple, grannie smiths and french golden delicious is about my limit when it comes to apple.

I wonder how Jack gets on with that wet sensor on an iphone, what with all the w@nking he does over his. He must have bricked it by now.

From a MUSIC perspective, they are identical. The iPhone 4 is faster has a bigger screen etc.. but nothing to do with music.

As said by others, from a music playing perspective the 3GS and iPhone 4 are the same. There isn't a format that the 4 handles that the 3GS can't.

In regards to iTunes, that will work regardless of the device you have, be it a 4th Generation Click Wheel iPod, through a 3GS, to a new iPhone 4. All iTunes really does is provide an interface for copying music over to the device. There are third party apps out there that will do this as well.

At present the 3GS can also run the same iOS version as the iPhone 4, this is also true for iOS 5.0, which will be out within a few months. Of course the 3GS might get dropped as of 5.5, in a similar manner to the 3G being dropped as of 4.3.

The camera with the I phone 4 is 5mega pixel, yet the 3gs is a 2 mega pixel.

The screen resolution is better on the four.

The reception on a 4 is much worse, but then again, the 3gs is poor, and come to think of it who uses an I phone as an ACTUAL phone??! Lol.

Personally from a music point of view, the 3gs will be better value for money. Get a jailbreak and you are home free

An iPhone 4 is much better at lowering your bank balance than any 3/3G/3GS. Don't be a victim of the ad. Get a cheap andriod to do a better job all round
