UK iPhone 4S thread.

[daneoni]

I have two iPhone 4's. One is the original with Philips screws on the bottom and the newer one has the pentalobe screws. My newer iPhone 4's screen has a yellow tint compared to my original. Apple said they changed the screens to make it easier on the eyes. They would have been out in the 4S on purpose.

Is it? Thanks for letting me know.

This may sound tribalist, but I would have preferred that to having mine in Manchester overnight, although it's been in the UPS van on the way to Liverpool since 05.18. Which courier is delivering yours?

I'm using the UKMail link via the SYNCREON link. So i would assume UKMail.

Still not here! Boo hoo.

All they have to is stop taking cash on launch day though.

In the US they don't even accept cash on iPhones or Macs.

Or temporarily sim-lock unlocked phones so that they only work with sims in the native market until the supply is no longer constrained.

That's because the SEC has more teeth than the FSA. But Apple (Europe) needs to address this issue or I sense very large fines may be coming their way

If it's a gang, you have to ask yourself where did they get £150k from? Drug dealing? Robbing? Extortion? Protection? Whatever it is, it should raise alarm bells that money laundering may have been taking place. Buy 300 phones, and sell them sometimes at a premium overseas. Ignorance is no defence against money laundering. This HAS happened before and it's a well known issue which Apple will have to deal with sooner rather than later...

I agreed what they did is not right, but the consumers play a role in this kind of thing. People want it badly, they don't mind paying extra.

If buying 300 phones and selling them at a premium is not right, what about those that buy 1-2, and sell them at a premium as well.

That's why apple is trying to restrict it to 2 phones/person. However, if you are multi millionaire, you can hire as many people as you want to queue up and buy for you

Nor mine, anyone in Liverpool had delivery of their new shiny toy yet (in the unlikely even you are still on here instead of getting to know Siri)?

I hope police ask for CCTV footage to identify the man who had the bag full of cash. It's a massive red-flag for possible money laundering or proceeds of crime and worth investigating.

As someone mentioned, Apple could have stopped it by refusing cash for the launch period.

I notice you were trying to connect to an Orange help site. Is your new phone an upgrade through them? I've used them to upgrade, but no sign of my shiny new white phone yet.
