The iPhone 3G was released in July of 2008, succeeding the original iPhone in Apple's smartphone lineup. Nearly a year later, Apple released an updated version of the device, dubbed the iPhone 3GS, with minor hardware updates to the previous version. In terms of display and resolution, however, the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3GS are virtually identical.

The iPhone 3G features a 3.5-inch diagonal widescreen display, optimized for multi-touch functionality.

iPhone 3G Resolution

The iPhone 3G offers a resolution of 480 by 320 pixels at 163 pixels per inch.

Like the iPhone 3G, the iPhone 3GS features a 3.5" diagonal widescreen display optimized for multi-touch functionality. In addition, the 3GS display is coated with an oleophobic (oil-repelling) material designed for fingerprint resistance.
