The U.K. iPhone 4 Thread

[Nicholas.C]

Random q...why does apple need to take down all of their stores? and not just the ones they're updating?

creates hype and get's people talking.

 

[jhill89]

What this thread needs more of is people checking the websites of every single company even tangentially related to the release of the iPhone 4 in the UK, every two minutes, and posting back here, also every two minutes, as to the status of said website.

Don't you just love sarcasm... 🙂

Morning all,

quick question when the store does turn back on, who is ordering through quidco to get 3% cashback?🙄

 

[owen-b]

apple - down
operator websites say register interest there ya go

Excellent, can you post back in two minutes to let us know what's changed? Ideally also add a little rant at Apple or O2's expense, about how they've royally messed this release up and it's worse than the iPad release, in which we were all shafted by Steve Jobs personally.

😉

O2 are saying no preorders now....Apple store only 😱

Proof..

Do they do iPhone orders? I know iPods and iPads don't get it.

 

[djrm]

Proof..

This has been widely reported all week

 

[CJM]

Proof..

Orange is saying the same. 'pre-orders have been delayed'

Meeeeeeeeee!

1 iPhone 32GB black
1 iPhone 32GB white
1 Apple Dock
1 Blue bumper

should be about £30 atleast

So all the stores world wide have been down and, when they come back up, every Apple fan in the world is going to start hitting them to find the iPhone pre-orders?

This must be about to be one of the biggest stress tests of a web site for a very long time. There must be some very nervous Apple system administrators and service staff right now. Will the sites really hold up to this number of hits in the first minutes and hours of going live?

So....£549 for the 32GB anyone? Will it be more or will it be less? And what is everyone's threshold??!

Quidco on a new iPhone ROFL you must still be dreaming 😀

Doesn't mention iPhone...:

No cashback is presently available on iPad, iPod nano, iPod classic and iPod shuffle purchases.

I'm giving it a go - every little helps so 3% cashback would be nice.

Good call on the Apple Dock. I wonder if they will have a new iphone dock, or if we have to get the universal dock.

well i just checked with topcash, they don't do cashback for iphone4, but quidco does not say they wont do iphone4, perhaps they have not updated it.

FYI

new iPhone information on Apple's site: http://www.apple.com/iphone/design/

Funniest form of humour you mean 🙂

Oh come on, you guys set yourselves up for it sometimes! Don't worry, I'm just as bad right now, refreshing all the usual suspects. I just don't post every time I do it. We'll be fine. This time next month we'll all have our iPhone 4s. 🙂

Rewind a couple of weeks/months when the iPad was made available 🙂

Hopefully we can pre order more than one handset!

There's a new dock. Steve showed it last week. Don't know if my 3G dock will work with it, I suspect it won't be the right shape.

I noticed it actually timed out on a couple occasions back then, and that wasn't even a worldwide thing! 😱
