Though still limited, the built-in 3MP camera has been upgraded and now comes with auto focus, while the phone’s Bluetooth capabilities are now up to the level that you’d expect from a successor product.
You now can share your iPod music files via Stereo Bluetooth to your hi-fi equipment at home, or headphones, assuming that these too incorporate a Stereo Bluetooth facility. Smart functions have been upgraded as well: you can now cut, copy and paste, and MMS is possible, as well as tethering or video recording. These changes may not seem all that spectacular, but they are enough to set the Apple iPhone apart from its competitors once more.
