iPhone 3G vs 3GS

If you’ve broken your iPhone 3G vs 3GS and contemplating on one the following scenarios think again:

“Why can’t I replace my broken iPhone 3G Digitizer and/or iPhone 3G LCD with a newer iPhone 3GS Digitizer and/or iPhone 3GS LCD, it has to be better, right?”

or

“Why can’t I replace my broken iPhone 3GS Digitizer and/or iPhone 3G LCD with an older and cheaper iPhone 3G Digitizer and/or iPhone 3GS LCD?”

Are the iPhone 3G vs 3GS parts the same?

Yes and no. On the screen connectors specifically, Apple slightly changed the connectors on the mainboard of the iPhone 3GS. In short, the 3G vs 3GS parts for the screen are not interchangeable.
