The **OFFICIAL** IPhone 4 Thread
 
Between the people that pre-ordered, the people that now have the phone a day early, and the people that get it tomorrow/next month/next year on/after the official release date, this thread is for you guys.

Keep any and all IPhone talk in this thread, whether it be about the 1G, 2G, 3G/Gs, or the new 4G. There's no need for more than one thread now that the phone is pretty much released! :)

Talk about how excited you are to get it, how pissed off you are about it, things you like, things you hate... whatever floats your boat. If its IPhone related. Let's hear it!

And so does every piece of clothing that you wear and electronic device that you use.

bastid 06-23-2010 07:36 PM

Got mine delivered today. Activated it about an hour ago. So far I'm very impressed. It's fast as all hell, the screen is fantastic, and the new camera rocks.

Don't we all when buying one thing or another.

99blazer 06-23-2010 09:22 PM

No he doesnt he makes an effort not too. So he makes everything himself.

To keep on topic I tried to update my 3g and it just keep freezing so im just waiting to get the new one.

Good to see Apple is off to another great start

TJs98GT 06-24-2010 08:26 AM

i HATE itunes with a passion, the amount of SUCK in itunes is almost enough for me to ditch my iphone for an EVO or BB.

kdc 06-24-2010 08:36 AM

the new iphone 4 looks great. can't wait to pick mine up.

Big_Jim 06-24-2010 10:26 AM

I guess since the old one they made can't even do an update it would make sense to spend money and buying a new one... or just buying a different product that you didn't have trouble with. That is the same thing as buying a Kia and it having issues when you own it and then buying the same one again.:screwy:

Same here. Julie has an iPhone and I hate everything about it. I used to like Apple but the iPod sucks compared to the Zone, and I like WM alot more the the iPhone even though it can't do as much, its still is much more customizable and you dont' gotta go though Apple to get everything for it.

Funny! But I've had phones in the past if you hold it wrong it didn't get great receiption, but that was on phones 5 years ago, you would think they could od better now.

After reading about the new phone, it really soudns like they just pushed it out so it was good enoguh to sell a crap load, but not nearly as good as it SHOULD of been.

Big_Jim 06-24-2010 11:05 AM

holding the phone cradeled in your left hand puts the palm of your hand across both the wifi/BT and radio signal antennas, kind of like shorting them out.

supraghost 06-24-2010 01:13 PM

this is the line at park city mall.. you actually cant see most of it. easily 1000 people

Tell the people in line about the Droid X and if they aren't completely retarded they will go home and wait a few weeks and switch to Verizon.

ASIAN JUL 06-24-2010 01:15 PM

I've been reading about/seeing some videos of the reception issue... **** that ****.

supraghost 06-24-2010 01:23 PM

ill stick with my flip phone. touchscreens and construction FTL

ASIAN JUL 06-24-2010 01:27 PM

I actually miss flip phones lol. I had a stupid Samsung slider on AT&T that I loved.

Just saw speed test results from people touching the iPhones in various ways... wow.

~Brian~ 06-24-2010 03:24 PM

I slept in my car outside of Best Buy last night in anticipation of the line that would be there but never showed up. Got up around 8 and spoke to a rep who informed me that she only had 4 16GB models and that the truck would come later in the day with the 32 that I needed. 6 hours later, the truck never showed up, so I made the hour long drive back to my parents house. There is still a chance the truck will show up today, then the girl at Best Buy will call me.

So far though, today has sucked.

99blazer 06-24-2010 04:06 PM

Got my phone. Waited about an iphone. Honestly not that impressed. Same thing as my 3g with a couple new features and faster. Still love it though.

So how long exactly, in minutes, does it take to wait "about an iPhone?" I've never heard of that unit of measurement. LOL.

Rush 06-24-2010 10:20 PM

I'm hoping Apple manages to resolve all the 'big' issues with the 4 by Christmastime .. I never buy anything as soon as it comes out just because of the problems that inevitably arise. I can wait six months to save myself the aggravation, y'know?

Reception dilemma is LOL-able, though.

DPancoast 06-25-2010 04:58 PM

supposidly they think it's a software issue. not hardware?

evomike 06-25-2010 05:03 PM

Of course they'd say that so people won't freak out, I don't understand why people jump all over new apple products they are always problem ridden then I'm 3 months they announce an upgraded version.

TROLL 06-25-2010 05:13 PM

I got one yesterday, huge difference in speed over my 3G. Not sure how it compares to the 3Gs but I don't see how anyone could say that its not much different than the 3G... everything is instant, no more waiting.
I dig it, I'm still figuring out all of what it does really though. As far as design and feel though, its just alright. I think the older phone feels nicer in my hand, and the design is nice but not amazing looks-wise.

It translates into about an hour.

DPancoast 06-28-2010 04:45 PM

lets talk about apps

bdmaxima 07-05-2010 01:53 PM

you think they will try to solve this antenna issue within the next few months or just let it ride out....

DPancoast 07-05-2010 01:59 PM

supposedly its a software problem

but at the same time they just admitted that the signal strength display has been false all along. so who knows what they are going to do. hopefully they fix it.

especially by september :-D lol

OverBoostedEvo 07-07-2010 06:58 PM

well today my iphone 4 decieded to go with me for a swim in the pool. i totally ****ign forgot i had it in my pocket until about 10 seconds of being in the pool. so i took it the **** out and laid it out to dry, after about 20 minutes said **** it and took it inside grabs my tools and took it apart. Its different then the others iphones have been. but i took it apart dry off everythign i could and put it all out in the sun to dry. after about an hour and half i put it together and it magically has turned back on. I have gotten it to make phone calls and i can hear and the other person can hear me. i was able to still connect to my email account and launch apps. but i have a huge problem which im hoping with allowing it to dry some more it will go away. the problem is the touch screen is very screwy i gotta tap somethign a million times to get it to open and half the time it launches the wrong app and all. so yea.. worse case i might just need a need touch screen but time will tell... and i'll also see later on if it will take a charge.

DPancoast 07-07-2010 07:02 PM

put it in a bowl of uncooked rice for a couple days

bastid 07-07-2010 08:51 PM

I'm taking mine into Apple tomorrow for a few reasons.

1. Screen has been much more sensitive to scratching than my 3G. My iPhone 4 has more scratches in 2 weeks of careful use than my 3G had after 2 years of torture.
2. Hitting end call, mute, and speaker with my face is a PITA when the display is off and should be deactivated.

Other than that, phone has been great.

OverBoostedEvo 07-08-2010 09:55 PM

as an update my phone is back to working 100%. everything works including the flash still. the screen has a few issues in the image quality now but i'll take that after it being submerged in water lol.
