Nice to see Apple still had a few more tricks up their sleeve. The new backlit camera, display and design is awesome. Yes, there are a couple of more things I want in a phone, but Apple's done a lot in a less than a centimetre thick case. All I have to do now is wait for a UK price... Begging for it not to be significantly more than the 3GS.
 
What great times we live in (well, for gadgets, at least)!

now, when is the ipad with 326 pixels per inch coming out? I would camp overnight for that sucker!

:D
 
People are calling this a letdown, for real?! *facepalm.gif*

This is the biggest update the iPhone has seen since the App Store was announced. Everything about it is better.

People will never be happy.

Yes it has no Verizon support, but who's to say that's not coming.
 
front face camera to take pictures??

I wonder if I can take self portrait with the front face camera?
 
By the way, did I miss something or what the hell with those video calls? Why only wifi? We had video calls already over 3G since 2004.. Otherwise, looking really good!

Steve said that it was WiFi now b/c Apple needed more time to work with the carriers.
 
If you can afford a new iphone you can bloody well afford to upgrade your ancient OS.

way to be nice about it. but I'm asking because my birthday is this week, and I get to get a present, but i can't get an iphone and the operating system too. so i need to know if i should just get the 8gb 3gs(if it doesn't need higher than 10.4), not get a new phone at all, or get the iPhone 4 and use my PC instead of my mac.
 
Punishing the faithful

That is my thought exactly! I have a MacBook Pro, iPhone 3GS and the iPad 3G but I can't buy the most recent iPhone at the discount because they released it less than 18 months since the last new phone.

It is disappointing to be an avid Apple fan but have to pay more for a phone than a newbie to the bandwagon?!?

I want to know 2 things which would be a big deciding factor for me.

1. Will it be 4G capable? In the keynote is said it's capable of 7.2mbit down. Don't know exactly what that means in comparison to 4G.

2. How much memory will it be? If it has 256mb I would be disappointed.
 
I am once again EXTREMELY underwhelmed by yet another Apple iPhone event. I REALLY REALLY wanted 64GB so of course there was not any capacity increase. Same screen size at 3.5 inches. Video chat is only over Wifi. EVERY OTHER FEATURE is what every other high end phone already has and most have had for awhile.

This is ridiculous. Apple needs to raise the bar. I'm getting tired of the iPhone.

Doesn't look like this will be available off contract then? was hoping to stay on my cheap tariff and just buy the phone out right.
 
Unfortunately, this was one of the most boring WWDC I can remember. Very disappointing. It was nothing more than a recap of the iOS 4 announcement several months back.

Hopefully there will be other announcements during the week - XCode 4 for one.

Glad i sold my 3GS few weeks ago, this looks like a worthy upgrade, i was hoping for a 64GB version though :cool:
 
ha!

"apple will never release a product with those seams.. " blah blah blah

"no way that's the final design." "i'll never buy a phone that ugly"

"that looks nothing like an apple product. i say fake."


what do you say now? thx, steve.
