(1) (3rd Generation) The third version of a product or system. See iPhone 3G.

(2) (3rd Generation) The current generation of cellular transmission, which primarily features higher speeds for Internet access. Several advanced, high-speed 3G technologies have been officially sanctioned as 4G (see cellular generations). In the U.S., the major 3G technologies are EV-DO for CDMA networks, such as used by Verizon and Sprint, and HSPA for GSM networks for carriers such as AT&T and T-Mobile. See EV-DO and HSPA.

The Network Makes a Difference

These iPhone speed tests were taken at the same time using AT&T's slower EDGE (E) network and its faster 3G network. Speed is always based on the number of active users in the cell. This test was performed in March 2009.
