iPhone 4 announced!

I will wait it to arrived here in the Philippines via Globe. All i can say is i will having an awesome f*king upgrade in my iPhone 3G.

iPhone 4 is GOD of all Smart phones.

I think the question on every avid reader’s mind is that will abe upgrade to the iPhone 4 or get one of the new Android high-end phones?

@want new phone
just curious, will you be considering the 5″ dell streak?

wow… sir yuga.. beat me to it again.. :(

Anyhow.. nothing spectacular about the new iphone except that it’s from Apple. Hopefully… they’ll be more surprise as the WWDC continues.

Hi,

I’m planning to purchase the SE X10. (for my bday w/c is in July. hehehehe)
I read your review and it looks like the X10 has not met your expectations of an android phone. i want to know what the release date of the Iphone 4G is here and the estimated price. (i bet it’s a bit expensive considering Globe is slashing off 3G price)

i hope it does come out in July d2 sa pinas so i can check your review. and hopefully decide what to buy. or, i hope i can wait that long. ; )

Apple fan boys. They rave like silly little boys holding their overpriced toys acting up like something’s up their butt. My post cowers in fear of deletion. :O

When will it get here?

It has no match to the upcoming Nokia N8’s specs. I already checked its comparison with HTC Evo 4G, HTC HD2 and Palm Pixi, but N8 reigns!

Betting the 32gb model won’t be sold close to P13,800 over here. Also it took Apple multiple revisions to implement those feature standard to Smartphones. In addition for those who will be using this for web browsing, the lack of flash support will not look good.

@Abe – I think it won’t be coming here in July. September na siguro.

@pinoypi

N8 comparison with the iPhone 4 – including the EVO and other smartphones

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/iphone-4-vs-the-smartphone-elite-evo-4g-n8-pre-plus-and-hd2/

I love the hardware specs, I hate the OS and the company…
(kanya kanyang trip lang yan hehehehehe)

sa website sabi, pwedeng mag-video edit using this phone! :)

Finally Farmville app!!!

/end sarcasm

I think the main selling point of this phone is the “Retina Display.” Imagine, 320+ppi on a screen that size. I will write my 20/20 vision a lovely farewell letter now.

Facetime, 720p recording, multitasking, better battery; marami nang nakagawa nyan. ‘And’ Facetime currently will work only with wifi (which they even had problems demo-ing it during the keynote).

at 9.7mm though it’s freaking thin.

@Mike

Symbian? Ugh. No matter how much I try, I can never get myself to like Symbian.

@ic deadpipol
n8 alth0ugh symbian was the m0st useful smartph0ne when we talk about applications. And iph0ne4 have no match for it. From camera to connectivity, availability of applicati0n are c0untless, supported s0ftwares and files.

Steve Jobs was unable to connect at the network…. EPIC FAIL! haha someone will get fired xD and whats up with the retina display? i though it would be somesort of retina scanner or something! LOL Apple is making their own king of display again, but still SUPER AMOLED is the BEST! HTC EVO is still miles better than this one but fanboys will not admit it, Gingerbread is coming and tons of new Android smartphones will make this phone look ancient in this year alone xD

relevant imagery:

nokia n8 – like:> great specs. usable. practical.

dislike:( seemingly sluggish OS still. BORING almost-the-same old-fashioned symbian UI. not sure if old symbian 9.4 apps are backward compatible w/ symbian^3

android phones – like:> beautiful android OS is the FUTURE. finally, iphone OS now has a real competitor head-to-head!

dislike:( android phones are expensive still 30k+ average. low priced “samsung galaxy” feels like a joke w/ more apps installed.

iphone 4 – like:> upgraded to iphone os 4. 185,000 third-party APPS TO CHOOSE FROM! VERY SMOOTH UI and the experience is a joy! really intuitive and well-thought-of design.

DISLIKE:( RESTRICTIONS OF THE OS, + CRIPPLED/LIMITED bluetooth functionality, EXPENSIVE, expect to pay no less than 40k openline (if youre lucky).

MY TAKE: i’l just wait for iTOUCH 4th gen, to be announced come September 2010. it will be more or less the same with iphone 4 (without call&text functionality). but youll only pay (estimated based on history of itouch) about 300-400usd. that is GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY, at least to me.

to each his own. peace to all:)

sige bili nyo na din ako paki hatid nalang sa bahay thanks for free

Globe is like AT&T

go figure xD

if ever sundan ng globe ung trend ng iphone 3g at 3gs.. dapat july din release nito..

iphone 3g, US – july, PH – august
iphone 3gs, US – june, PH – July
iphone 4, US – june, PH- JULY???

buti n lang d agad ako nakakuha ng 3gs,, wait ko n lng muna 4g, kainip!!!!

@lolipwn

Awesome pic! I can imagine them saying “magiiiiiiicaaaaallll!! Oooooooooouuuhhh!”
“This changes evveerrrthing!!!”

lololol

And before we bash Apple for having an “extremely closed” platform and app store, keep in mind that Google only allows americans, japanese, brits, germans, french, and a few other europeans to sell apps on the Android Marketplace.

Disclaimer: Im not tech savvy.

I was looking at a blog about the 4 best phones to compete with iPhone 4G. it doesnt have X10. (im an SE fan..)

I was wondering if Sir Yuga can make a comparison of these phones:

HTC Nexus One
Samsung Galaxy S i9000
HTC Evo
SE X10

i know you cant recommend which phone is better but at least it would make my life easier (and honestly for others too…) hehehe
please?

thanx. crossing my fingers X10 is at least better that 2 other phones on the list.

hypocrite.

@H iPhone Bluetooth is for Bluetooth headset and soon bluetooth keyboard. It’s not for file transfer.

@fr0stbyte

not just the touch screen, many factor why Apple product dominates. One of this is Apple innovation. This company is so good that it causes imaginations to run wild. A hedge fund could float a story that Apple is thinking of buying Saturn in order to develop a new brand of Apple cars and people would go nuts. The name Saturn would instantly become a symbol of quality and innovation. If they floated a similar rumor about IBM, investors wouldn’t be as quick to jump. The constant innovation coming out of Apple provides traders with endless material for believable speculation.

@yuga – di ba nasabi sa keynote ni steve jobs kung anong country ung sa july?

well looky here…

How Apple Tricks You

http://gawker.com/5558442/how-apple-tricks-you

Steve Jobs has already been busted for exaggerating the resolution of a new iPhone screen the Apple CEO unveiled yesterday. It’s only the latest in a series of misleading videos, pictures and claims designed to part you and your money.

i actually like the iPhone. but i’m better off with Android phones. Nexus One and EVO 4G :)

sabi ng friend ko sa globe, Q4 daw dis year ang iphone 4..

Once you start bashing people who can’t buy one, you’re just proving yourself to be one big douche.

It’s just glorified hype that’s just bugging me..
Retina display? wth?
“This changes everything. Again” Can you please quantify “everything”?
And that front-facing camera feature is so five-years ago. Video calling’s even limited to iPhone 4. Meaning you can’t just call any phone with video calling capabilities. Not all my friends are frappé-sipping leeches so that’s gonna be a problem.

What say you “Apple Whore”?

@snpklsdmbldr “Globe is like AT&T
go figure xD”

LOL. Globe sucks! I thinking it would even take them years to make the video calling work on 3G. Even their 3G network is slow. They have a lot of issues.

See if anyone can relate to this, you call them to know your running unbilled charges and they could not provide you that information coz their system is not available and will request you to call back at 8 am. Come 8 am, their system is still bugged down. WTF!

I wonder when will iPod Touch 4th generation be released.

@Paul: It is really the definition of PREMIUM price. And to me, it’s worth it anyway.

BTW, just successfully watched the iPhone keynote video and Philippines is not included in the 18 countries to be shipped with the iPhone 4s in July. So we’re somewhere in August or September.

I find it funny when people say those people who “bash” Apple and the iPhone (4) are “bitter” because they could not afford it.

So, you have the money to buy an iPhone? Then go buy it. Don’t gloat. When people point out its issues or problems, don’t get too fanboyish and flame/troll. Opinions :)

The iPhone 4 didn’t bring anything new. So it NEVER changed anything. Multitasking? That has been around for ages. Video calls as well. Nothing new. Move along. Just another ploy to get money out of iSheep. XD

I tried using an iPhone, and I own an iPod touch. I like the snappy OS, but it is more like a toy to me. No offense. I’d still pick Android over iOSx any time of the day.

@ Jon: Yup, I own an iPhone 3GS 16GB. :)

Don’t get me wrong, guys. I’m also under the spell of Steve Jobs. Apple may have introduced these so-called “new features” of iPhone 4 as their own innovations, but this is simply because the “new features” are already near perfection and possess superior technological qualities than those of Nokia’s or other phone manufacturers who have been in the industry for soooooo long.

Try to reward yourself at least an iPhone 3GS or any Apple products. You’ll understand why we’re soooo fanatic of Steve Jobs. Peace! :)

@ Jon: i’ve been watching that part of his demo over and over. Steve Jobs was able to pin-point the problem (wifi). It’s probably because Facetime requires bigger bandwidth. So it’s the Facetime program that needs improvement and not the iPhone demo units per se. Again, just my two cUents.

@Paul

I know that was the Wifi issue. It was simply my reply to you saying “perfection” :)lol

I mean, imagine using that feature in an area where there are a lot of wifi hotspots. That would render that feature useless. I hope they resolve that issue soon.

looks nice… from the ads! hope it would be…

hey can u tell me if i can buy it out in other tech shops without the globe plan??? i mean the fresh unlocked piece….i dnt wanna get tangled in any plan or wateva….

or if any1 out ther willing to sell their iphone 3GS in low price, u can mail me at angle****@****.***

nice apple :)

cool..iphone so cool!!
great new type from Apple..!!
(http://tric06.student.ipb.ac.id/)

Iphone 4 is the coolest gadget to date to watch about base from all the hypes and videos it generated. I’ll surely upgrade my 3gs 32 gb to this. Please email me and let me know when this phone arrive here in the philippines.

we got our iphone 4 yesterday @ bestbuy Launch day..well it was pretty impressive, with all the upgrades specially the retina display it was really clear, and the 5mp camera with LED flash,and the vga front camera for facetime wifi only video chatting..The IOS$ works perfectly Nothing much Changed with the icons arrangement and how the OS looks, Except for the Multitasking capability and you can drag icons together to create a folder..this are all the good side, and now heres the bad side, first if you are unlucky to get the display yellow discoloration and the white spots due to manufacturing, and the reception issue when you hold or cover the 2 antennas in the lower side of phones youre gonna get a very bad signal..and take note of this dont drop your iphone the back side is very fragile..anyways all in all it was awesome…

I got some sort of “bumper” or a soft-rubber material that covers both sides and back at Bestbuy (Belkin is the brand at about $25). I guess there will be more of these protectors as soon as the iphone4 reaches the whole world. My iphone4 now works well – I mean, perfectly.

By the way, my friend has a Droid Evo (by Verizon) and we were both speed tested my phone and his at work. Both had equally strong (full bars) reception. Amazingly, iphone4 beat the Evo in upload speed.

iphone4 is beaten by the Droid specs-wise hands down (well, for the most part). But US sales will tell you differently. I guess it just personal preference.

Good day to all!

how much is that without plan.

i can’t waiting ….

@Joy

Are you also right now in the Phils? Is the seller in the Phils as well or she’s just gonna ship it out. Wala bank issues yung nakuha mong iPhone?

By the way, my friend has a Droid Evo (by Verizon) and we were both speed tested my phone and his at work. Both had equally strong (full bars) reception. Amazingly, iphone4 beat the Evo in upload speed.

I was showing off my iphone4 with my co-workers. True enough, they were impressed with the “retina display”. One’s got the Droid Evo (by Verizon)and he compared the display with my iphone4. My other co-worker has the Droid Incredible (again by Verizon). Hands down, the iphone4 wins according to them. You have to see it to believe. However, if you want a bigger screen to use as GPS or as a personal video player, I guess, go for the Evo. But if you don’t mind size, then go for the iphone4 (which has the best screen display to date). Another co-worker had a Sprint iphone3Gs (jail-broken). He was was sold out! He said he’s transferring to AT&T (hahaha!). But I told him that there might be a possibility that there will be an iphone4 released by Verizon early next year (hopefully). I’m used to a bigger GPS, but it got stolen in my car (Imagine, in a paid parking garage!???). Now, I’m using the my iphone4 as my GPS, which, by the way, works better than my old GPS. Now, it’s my all-in-one gadget – planner, music player, HD video recorder, camera, alarm clock, gaming console, GPS, online banking, buying stuff online (craigslist, ebay,etc), internet radio, ebook reader, etc, etc….
You got to see, feel, and play with it to say, yup, it’s really good!
BUT! iPhone4 needs to fix this reception crap! If it’s fixed, then, it will be perfect – almost….

where to get the iphone4 unlocked in the philippines?

After the announcement that Apple will give away their free “bumpers”, I’ll definitely get one. No way am I returning this iphone4! I played with the other phones (i.e., Droids, pixi) that my friends have. In all honesty, I think the iphone4 is still the best (I myself was a previous Blackberry bold (BB 9000) user).

However, admit it or not, iphone4 has a hardware issue (but, no way am I going to put some duct tape on that damn small black reception band – it kills the aesthetics of the phone – and trust me, iphone4 has this definitely gorgeous killer looks). How can I describe it? Small, pretty heavy for its size, elegant.

I guess the one good thing about this is that other companies (like Belkin, Griffin, Scosche, Incipio, Incase, etc) are taking advantage of Apple’s Achilles heel. When you have these antenna-protectors, iphone4 works just perfectly fine.

Again, you must personally see, feel, and play with this gadgetry before bashing it. Until now, my co-workers wants to feel and play with it once in a while – cause its that damn goodin!

@truebluemd

bili ka pa ng isa, tpos gawing mong hikaw!

o kaya itakip mo sa mukha mo… tignan natin kung gaganda ka pa kesa kay marian rivera

wowh i like design and architechture…
so elegant and luxurious…

Zagg (aka Invisible Shield) has recently extended their iphone4 overage to include the antenna. It is the same material used on the front and back portions of the iphone4. One good thing about this is that it doesn’t cover the aesthetics of the phone. I had mine done recently at a mall for an additional $10 (to include labor). You can visit their website at

http://www.zagg.com/personalize/zaggskins/index.php

to see other skins if you want to add some flair to it while protecting the antenna from decreasing reception. I had mine done clear to maintain it’s original look.

@truebluemd
