iPhone(R) 3GS 8GB for AT&T (GameStop Premium Refurbished) 89.99$+Tax

Quote from ls1dreams : While 3gs's can run iOS6, they are VERY slow these days. The absolute minimum iPhone I'd recommend to anyone would be an iPhone 4, and even that is seriously starting to show it's age. Ideally you'd want at least a 4s.

I actually just got a 3GS to develop with on ios6.1 and it is totally usable. Lag in some instances? Yes, absolutely. Is it still totally usable? Yes! I wondered why it ran ios6 so well and discovered that Apple underclocks their CPUs from their full potential on previous versions of iOS. The 3GS has the same Cortex A8 as the 4, but clocked at 833Mhz vs the 1Ghz in the 4 (but even then my search shows the 4 was under clocked to 800Mhz). It also has the same GPU as the 4 just clocked slightly slower. Reports I found said the 4 was about 11% faster than the 3GS and I can believe that considering I'm typing on it right now and it is quite a usable experience.

The RAM however is half the amount found in the 4 though so app switching isn't super great, but it's definitely quite good compared to some really crappy androids you could get for the same price.

Anyone having major battery drain issues on the 3GS after upgrade to IOS6?

I just purchased some gift cards to use towards a 4 which is currently discounted nicely on GameStop.com too.
