*** The all new iPhone 4 thread - Keep all iPhone 4 stuff in here ***

Played with my brothers 3GS, he put on the OS4 and compared to yesterday where i really didnt have much time to play with the iphone4...i have to admit the OS4 is pretty snappy even on the 3GS....pics are taken much faster and the multi tasking is pretty neat ie done the apple way which makes it slightly different to other mobile OS's multi tasking abilities.

He's suitably impressed...he wotn be upgrading till the next one which is next yr.

That's the way I feel, if you're coming from an iPhone 3GS there isn't much point in upgrading, unless you really really want a better camera.

I came from a 3G though, and the difference is night and day, even with iOS4 on the 3G. The 3G runs like a dog these days.

Yep its the same thing my brother said to me...he could have went and bought one sim free but thought other than the better camera and the facetime thing and also the new shape of it...there wasnt any point in upgrading...he also mentioned the reception issues on the iphone4 which i said yup a lot of people are suffering from it and Jobs has told people that they are holding it wrong to which he laughed and said what an utter knob lol.

But it does run very nicely on the 3GS, i was quite surprised at how quick the 3GS is running now...my sis in law has the 3G and she put it on and said its not worth it...its slow as hell lol.

apples multitasking is different to other mobile OS's...because it isnt multi tasking

i do quite like the app switching tho, its not exactly hard on android but having a popup bar with customisable inclusion of progams you want to fast switch between (say sms,email,internet,music for my pref) would be a nice addition.

LOL read what i put;)...i said its apples way of multi tasking which is different to other mobile OS's when they do multi tasking;)...whether its true multi tasking or not is besides the point...the point being is that its what apple deems as multi tasking.

Are you going to China? If you're going over, why not buy it there? If anything they should have it in stock? I know the pound is really bad relatively speaking but I reckon it should still be cheaper over there?

I did manage to order a gift from the Australian apple store and got it sent to someone in Oz, although I had to lie about the billing address, as it has to be in Australia. It accepted it though and it was sent.

I have ordered a few things in the past though, so maybe my orders on there are 'accepted' as being legit.

No. I am buying here and shipping to China. No release date is confirmed for China and he cannot get it. I just wanna know if I go into an Apple store, can I walk out with one?

Well i went into the Regent st apple store in london and they had plenty of 16gb iphone4's to sell but no 32gb's though and they dont know when they are coming into stock...said maybe monday but not sure.
 
so iOS 4 has mutlitasking because apple says it does, not because it actually does...and that is somehow OK??! Apple are a crazy company.

Depends how lucky you are really, best best is to turn up early in the morning, I think they get deliveries first thing. Or register yourself for the priority thing.

They ran out on Thursday(launch day) towards the end of the day. Registered for the priorty thing so they let you know when your allocated unit turns up. Told me to try tomorrow morning seeing I was gonna be in town early.

Had a eye check up Friday 8.15, walked to the Apple shop about 9am. Very quiet, very civilised from the day before from what the lady told me. First one there tbh, although they still asked me to join the outside queueing line. Picked up 2x32gb.

Job done.

Maybe I was lucky, but it seems pretty much the initial surge is over?

That coupled with the fact quite a lot of pre-orders/reservations and so forth are being cancelled due to the antenna issue, it should free up more stock for those of us who still want one.
