9to5mac posted a video of Sky News, showing people in UK Apple Stores trying a white iPhone 4. Wasn’t it supposed to ship by second half of July? Could it be that some stores have already got demo units?
We’ve embedded the video after the break. If you’ve seen a white iPhone 4 too, please let us know in the comments.
iOS 4 was released 5 days ago, but that didn’t stop Cydia developers who immediately started working on compatibility fixes for their apps and tweaks. Yes, iOS 4 is jailbreakable, in case you’re still wondering.
9to5mac posted a picture of an iPhone 4 with reversed volume buttons. The - button is on top and increases volume, + is below it and decreases it.
Have you got this problem too? I hope mine will be ok.
We’ve mentioned Ngmoco’s first iPhone 4 game two days ago, and boy it looks beautiful. The killer feature it’s not how it looks, but how it works.
iLounge has recorded 6 videos comparing the video recording capabilities of the iPhone 4 to those of the old iPhone 3GS and Flip Ultra HD. 3GS aside, the Flip Ultra HD has almost the same quality of the iPhone 4 (they both output 720p video) and better saturation but, like Gruber points out, the iPhone 4 wins in moving and panning.
Check out the videos embedded after the break.
I was looking forward to Twitterrific 3.0 for iPhone. Since Twitter (ahem) bought Tweetie from Loren Brichter, I feared no one would take the effort of developing a great Twitter client for the iPhone anymore. Fighting against the man with a paid / unofficial app? Many developers gave up, and I understand them.
The Iconfactory team didn’t gave up though. They announced a native version of Twitterrific for iPad and it was released on day one. A great app, but I eventually ended up using Osfoora HD on the iPad, more on this in a moment. After the iPad client was released, they announced their plans for the future: a completely revamped version of Twitterrific for the iPhone and a much needed 4.0 update for the Mac.
With the 3.0 version of Twitterrific for iPhone, they decided to take a radically different approach and streamline the user experience by removing all those unnecessary features that made Twitterrific 2.0 a feature creep. I think it worked.
PhD candidates Ryan White and Bryan Gauntt of Penn State University sent Engadget some interesting comparison images of a Retina Display under the microscope together with a 3G screen.
“According to their measurements, the iPhone 3G’s pixels measure 13 x 40 microns, while the iPhone 4’s measure 6.5 x 20 microns, which adds up to exactly four times as many pixels.”
We know it’s impressive, but if you want scientific confirmation - just check out the images after the break.
Picture this: you hold the iPhone 4 in your hands and the signal drops. You leave it on the desk and it goes up again. You touch it with your skin and boom, no signal. There’s this video that’s running around in the internet, which shows an iPhone 4 “magically” going to to No Signal with just a few inches of skin.
TUAW is also reporting:
“In fact, this reception conniption was predicted on Fox’s Gadgets and Games two weeks ago: “Having been in the cellular business most of my career, I think it’s really odd that you’d want an antenna grounded by a moist hand.” Check out the video; it’s about 24 minutes in when MAKE magazine’s Dave Mathews calls it.”
Check it out after the break. If true, it’s pretty bad.
Announced at the last WWDC keynote in San Francisco, FarmVille is one of the most anticipated apps for the iPhone. Apple has finally approved Zynga’s game, which is now slowly propagating in iTunes.
As announced by Zynga’s CEO Mark Pincus at the WWDC, the iPhone version of FarmVille comes with iPhone-specific features such as push notifications, so that you won’t miss anything of what’s new in your farm.
It’s already live in the New Zealand store. [Link]
