[Merged] Negative Reactions to iPhone 4 / WWDC Keynote Thread

[lukefinch]

Steve is panicking

"I'm afraid we have a problem and I'm not going to be able to show you much today... let's just go take a look at some photos here... take a look at that."

 

[iPadztr]

that was a disaster... "Try Verizon" hahaha nice

 

[F123D]

Seeing the NYT load has never been so exciting. "Scott, you have any ideas?" Someone yelled Verzion! Ha!

LOL

 

[Roessnakhan]

Verizon comment was priceless.

 

[Gator24765]

lol another reason to ditch ATT

 

[peapody]

10:44 am Steve concludes demo.
10:44 am Someone shouts, "Try Verizon."
10:43 am Asks Scott for any suggestions.
10:43 am Steve apologizing again.
10:43 am iPhone 4 slowly barely loads NY Times.
10:43 am Difference is fairly amazing.
10:42 am Steve goes back to showing photos.
10:42 am iPhone 4 now on AT&T, all kinds of error messages about not being connected to the internet popping up on iPhone 4.
10:41 am Switching to backups.
10:41 am NY Times still not loading on iPhone 4.
10:41 am Steve asks everyone to get off WiFi to help him out, audience laughs.
10:41 am Loading slowly, "networks in here always unpredictable."
10:40 am Loading up NY Times next.
10:40 am Zoomed in difference looking at home screen is remarkable. Apple had to get special projectors to show just how good this screen is.
10:39 am Firing up both phones.

That's just sad!

It's actually a Wifi failure.

EDIT: AND AT&T! LOL!

No, it was Wi-Fi, however, Jobs never had the proper back-up for Wi-Fi blackout.

Verizon comment was priceless.

It was stupid, Verizon is not fairing better.

Yes that is true, taking into account everyone else is also hammering AT&T and Moscone Center's Wi-Fi.

Clearly you have the personality of a wet carrot.

It's the new Tallest Skil. He took his face and now he has his soul.

 

[IgnatiusTheKing]

WWDC derailed by crappy AT&T network

Hilarious.

 

[treyjustice]

crappy wifi actually

 

[IgnatiusTheKing]

crappy wifi actually

Nope. Check out the picture. The phone on the right, with the error message, is on the AT&T 3G network. With full bars, no less.

 

[danny_w]

Wifi was just shutdown and everybody asked to close laptops. Apple probably don't want it broadcast if there is another failure!

Thats it?

Iphone 4 was identical to what gizmodo said months ago. There was not any mobileme, macbook air or any apple tv update? im confused.

 

[TheAppleGeek]

Well, they did say it was the next iPhone.

 

[Marty Macfly]

That's because WWDC stopped being a conference for anything but the iPhone in 2006.

 

[Nautilus007]

maybe

I know that but I there was so much speculation and lots of it came from credible people. I'm just underwhelmed that there was really not any surprises, AVI support would have been awesome. The best part of the whole thing was the ability for ibooks to read pdf's

 

[kemperman]

i'm sorry what did you expect from an iPhone/iOS event?

 

[Nautilus007]

i'm sorry what did you expect from an iPhone/iOS event?

It wasnt an iphone specific event, WWDC has been around for years and just lately has it turned into an iphone themed event.

 

[nick9191]

Funny considering they didn't release it until January 2007

You of course meant after 2006... I know, I'm just being pedantic.

 

[Michael CM1]

How much do you think developers care about a Mobile Me update compared to a new iPhone and iOS?

 

[sniffies]

Thats it?

I thought so too when I read the "Keynote is over" line.
