White iPhone

Hey
So you may wonder what ever happened to the white iPhone 4. There are pictures of it sitting there in all its awesomeness on the apple website, but when you go and order it, you get a message like the one shown below. Now Apple has been very quiet about this but the never ending leaks on the product continue. Maybe Apple should use the money the gained from firing their head of engineering over the "Antennagate" scandal to hire a plumber.

Apparently (i have noticed I am starting to use this word a lot) they are finding it very hard to stop the screen's back light shining through the front panel of the phone. You may not really get what I mean but if you have ever seen a MacBook, you would. In the laptop's case, Apple utilizes the back light as not only a....well....back light, but also to light the Apple logo on the reverse side of the screen. In the case of the iPhone 4, this would cause the phone to glow like a Christmas tree.

The interesting thing about this reason is that functional white iPhone 4s do exist. Apple some employees have been given them. Most likely, these are hand made devices built at the headquarters in California. In silicone valley, not suicide valley(if you did not get that joke, the company that makes the iPhone, Foxconn, has had 13 suicide attempts in five months). But I digress with my tasteless jokes. Basically, there must be some way to make the phones not bleed light, because Apple is doing it. I'm guessing though there is something expensive about it that is not feasible in mass production.

Another theory states, this delay is just so they have time to re-engineer the antenna. Apple has really not had luck with this product launch. Not only was there is delay in white iPhone, but also reported problems with a batch of phones proximity sensor(the thing that makes the screen turn off when it is close to your face) as well as the terrible lagging experienced by users of iOS4 on the original 3G...like me....

In any case, I will have my iPhone 4 soon and then be happy. I have already ordered some really cool cases and I recommend you check them out HERE. They are truly amazing unique things.

Thanks for reading:)

iPhone 4 Haters Are Idiots

Hi,

I was not planning on posting today but I was having a conversation with my parents that got me very angry. They were saying how they had read numerous articles bashing the iPhone 4's antenna issues and would never buy one now. I am sure there is no need for me to tell you how incredibly awesome the iPhone 4 is, so I am going to focus on the antenna issue.

This may come as a shock to some of you, but firstly: EVERY CELL PHONE EVER MADE HAS A DEATH SPOT. That is, a place where, when you touch it, the signal drops significantly. For my iPhone 3G, it is the bottom right-hand corner - meaning when I hold it, the signal drops in the EXACT SAME WAY THE iPHONE 4 DOES. So this issue really is widely spread. Why is everyone making such a big deal over this? One reason - the spot is marked. People can see directly where the spot is and therefore make a big deal out of it. It is ridiculous.

So, although there is no actual problem with the world's greatest phone, Apple has provided 2 fixes. Firstly, they fixed a software issue whereby the bars were displayed incorrectly. Secondly, Apple is providing a free case to everyone who bought the phone. Not just the Bumper because they said they can't create 3 million of them. They are providing a selection cases from other companies as well. What can I say. THEY ARE AWESOME!!!

So there you have it. The iPhone 4 has no problems. I am definitely going to buy it. On that subject, it has been confirmed to be coming out on the 30th of July.

I hope the media did not throw your mind.

Another New iPhone 4G...Im not so sure

Ok. This one is a little weird. This story is a couple of weeks old this but I have been busy.
The story is that a Vietnamese man found another iPhone 4G. It looks the same as the one leaked by Gizmodo except it was partially active with some strange looking console (text sort of thing. I will not go into the details. Sort of like command prompt or CMD in windows) screen with the word "Inferno" up the top in big green letters.

Well the first thing that strikes me about this is at least the OS is fake. I'm not sure how it was done but Apple could never have designed it. My reasoning is that IT LOOKS UGLY. Apple would never design something that was green with red flames, even if it was a prototype. My guess is that this guy either stole one from the assembly line or that it is an actual Apple leak. Why I think it might be an Apple leak it that they are not going after it at all. This might be because the whole international thing can make legal proceedings very tricky but COME ON, Apple has some of the best lawyers in the world. They might not be pursuing it because they were the ones that put it out there or maybe because they can't be bothered. They figure the world has already seen it and CBF. I'm really not sure to be honest.

What has been almost confirmed though is that it has one of the new A4 chips. A 1GB iPhone...THAT'S CRAZY FAST. It might have less power. I don't really know. Only part of the serial number was the same as the iPad chips so who knows. This whole story is sooooo weird I don't think anyone really knows what to make of it, including me.

If you want any more information there is tonnes at  Gizmodo or cnet. Here is the specific Vietnam iPhone post

NEW iPHONE (I love Gizmodo) - Part 2

Hi
FINALLY the iPhone post. Now because I am sure you have already seen everything about the iPhone 4G or whatever, I will make a quick list of new features we expect will be in the new iPhone, most likely being announced on June 7.  Here we go:)

• Bigger battery(same size of phone but smaller components)
• Different shape - although it is almost the same size, it is a much squarer shape
• The screen looks to be HD, although no one can be sure
• It seemed to have what looked like a secondary Mic for noise cancelling
• Flash!!!!!!!! That is a camera flash not the program flash. I hope you didn't get your hopes up(By the way, the next post will be the death of flash for iPhone)
• What looks like a better camera, but once again, no one can be sure
• There is a weird split in the top of the case as shown below - no idea what it is for
• by the way, the hole next to the head phone port is the noise cancelling mic
• Also, the back of the phone seems to be a glass type material or something. Oh yay:) now we can get not only a cracked screen, but a cracked back.
• There is a front facing camera:) yay lets all Skype grandma on my iPhone
• Lastly, the side volume buttons have been separated.....no idea why and the SIM card slot is now microSIM(much smaller) and no the side

So that's about it:) I really like the look of it:) Multitasking. Front facing camera. HD!!:) I WANT ONE NOW

p.s. Oh.....by the way reading back at that post I realised many people would not get the whole lets Skype Grandma joke........Its an Internet nerd thing:)
