iPhone 4

Recommended Posts

In a shocking announcement that absolutely no one expected -- oh, who are we kidding? Apple CEO Steve Jobs just officially debuted the iPhone 4 at WWDC 2010 in San Francisco. While anyone with internet access has probably already seen the thing, we now know some of the new specs -- plus a date and pricing. June 24 for the iPhone 4 in white or black, 16GB for $199 and 32GB for $299, with a contract, of course. AT&T is extending the special pricing to any subscriber whose contract is up in 2010. Pre-orders for the iPhone 4 will open June 15.

:/ I'm gutted, I'm stuck with my pay as you go 3GS, and Honestly, the prices in the UK are so bad it's unbelievable....

 

Best way to upgrade from 3GS to 4G anyone?

 

I didn't upgrade to the 3GS because I wanted to be able to get the next generation, given that the 3GS was just a glorified 3G.

 

You can try theft, or gambling.

 

Why is iLL so hyped about this, iirc he's anti Apple.

Looks pretty cool. They could have tried a little harder with the camera though. Newer phones are coming out with better cameras and Apple's behind in that department. Looks good though. Much better than the old one. Won't be getting one though...

Most (mildly intelligent) people use Wi-Fi when it's available and there are hotspots all over the place.

 

As too the phone, meh. It's way too overpriced for what you get. For that amount of money I'd expect it to at least make my bed for me in the mornings.
