iSuppli has revealed the new iPhone 3GS Bill of Materials and some interesting changes in the parts and suppliers.

“The entry-level, 16Gbyte version of Apple Inc.’s new iPhone 3G S carries a BOM cost of $172.46 and a manufacturing expense of $6.50, for a total of $178.96,” said Andrew Rassweiler, director and principal analyst, teardown services, for iSuppli. “This is slightly higher than iSuppli’s estimate of $174.33 for the original 8Gbyte iPhone 3G based on pricing in July 2008. Although the retail price of the 16Gbyte iPhone 3G S is $199, the same as for the 8Gbyte version of the original iPhone 3G, the actual price of the phone paid by the service provider is considerably higher, reflecting the common wireless industry practice of subsidizing the upfront cost of a mobile phone and then making a profit on subscriptions.”

Apple’s unveiled a new iPhone today at WWDC, the iPhone 3G S — the “S” stands for speed.

Most powerful iPhone yet,  iPhone 3GS features video recording, Voice Control, up to 32GB of storage, and more.

Although it looks almost exactly like the 3G, it’s much, much faster — some tasks are almost five times faster.

Contract price is set at $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32 GB when it goes for sale and current iPhone 3G will remain available at new price of $99.
