Apple iPhone 3G Full Specifications & Features

Build Quality – iPhone 3G

The iPhone 3G also boasted solid build quality for the time, even after Apple replaced an aluminum back with a high-gloss polycarbonate shell. While frolicking in plastic did mean the device was lighter and enjoyed better signal reception, it was softer and far more prone to surface scratches or hairline cracks than the metal-clad original iPhone. Nevertheless, the fit and finish were exceptional — the curved back was seamless in-hand and some dainty chrome around the frame made this phone look elegant yet premium.

Up front was good-enough glass, meaning it held up under regular use and resisted going all gummy with age. The textured home button, clicky volume rocker, and crisp power button are all evidence of Apple doing what it does best: finely-engineering technology. Amongst the most vulnerable to cosmetics damage, I must say that the general structure of iPhone 3G seems solid: from side to side there was no visible damage and did not rattle or sag only after a long time.

The iPhone 3G straddled the line between ergonomics and toughness. While a far cry from the ruggedness of most modern smartphones, its design and build quality were ahead of the time, providing users with a device that not only felt premium in hand but could also survive daily wear without falling apart.
