Iphone 4 is out!

[Chuck]

Just curious if anyone has pre-ordered or plans to go out today and try and get a new Iphone 4 ?

Personally have never owned an Iphone but see the wife doing alot more with hers over the years than my BB can do. Does make me think about switching over

Sticking with my Google Nexus One.

I do like the iPad and the iPod touch (those I have) but I am really liking the Android operating system.

I have an iPhone 3GS. I don't see the point of switching to iPhone 4 straight away... I've got iOS4 on my 3GS, and I don't really need the video chat or the better camera that feature on iPhone 4.

I'll get one eventually, but only when I'm due for an upgrade.

I have the iPhone 3GS too with iOS4. It does what I need. I do like the new Sprint Evo HTC. I want to stop by a Sprint store and check one out firsthand.

Sticking to my featureless phone. The one where I press "send" and be done with it.

Do you know if 3g has the same OS as 4g?

 

[Raider]

Is it true the new IPhone has a glass touchscreen?

Hilarious spoof commercial of iPhone by Ellen Degeneres and an even funnier apology to Apple.

Watch here:

This is one of the most fraudulant marketing campaigns Apple has ever done.

1) , it's NOT 4G, it's 3G. They intentionaly named the model iPhone4 to mislead people, as you see someone here in this thread was mislead.

2) The much touted teleconferencing does NOT work over the cellphone as implied in the ads. It only works on Wifi, so if you're home anyway, you can use Skype on your computer free anyway, so why bother with the phone?

3) They still force you to use ATT, which is hands-down the worst and most expensive carrier ever. Over 50% of my calls are dropped by ATT, and they just don't care. ATT has blocked Skype, BTW, so they can keep billing by the minute.

4) The "Retina" level display is a blatantly false claim. Resolution is only 1/2 what it needs to be to be considered 'retina' level.

Don't know about your other points @juniperpark, but the first one just isn't true... This is their fourth version of the iPhone... So it seems sense to call it the iPhone 4. I have not heard anyone assume it was 4G technology, and apple has never claimed that in any interviews/ads....

Scroll up to post #6 if you don't think anyone was mislead into thinking the 4 meant 4G. And he's by far not the only one.

The previous versions were not named by version number, and the only thing different about a "4" is that a competitor is rolling out their (real) 4G phone.

That is an intentional misleading of consumers.

Yes I see that... But a quick visit to apple.com can clear that up ... But what else could they call it? iPhone 3GAgain?? Don't think that would catch on
