Launches of iPhone 4 in U.K., France, Germany and U.S.





035157-RAS3034_800

In spite of the problems with ordering and receiving, the iPhone 4 has enjoyed a really successful launch across the world. The first place for the iPhone 4 to go on sale was Japan, with more than 300 people lining up at the main store for Softbank, the mobile carrier for the iPhone 4 in Japan. By early afternoon all the devices in stock had been sold.

The next countries to launch the new device were Germany, France and the UK, with the U.S. East coast following them shortly afterwards. At most of the places the lines were incredibly long – actually the longest for any iPhone release.

iPhone 4 Antennas May Be Not As Good As Announced



Some guy with a nickname FameFoundry posted a video where he shows that after taking new iPhone 4 in his hands the signal decreases so much it can totally loose connection. That's a bit shocking! (Or there are some magnetic problems with his hands)

iPhone 4 - Not as Indestructible as Thought Before



dash2101002-1277317385

One of iPhone 4’s main design features is its front and black made entirely of glass which, according to Apple, is more resistant to scratches than ever. The company is so sure of the durability and strength of the new device’s glass that the only protection feature they are offering is bumpers for the edges, while the front and black are fully exposed.

According to some reviews from the iPhone 4’s new owners, the glass seems to be holding up quite well, and no effects were observed even after dropping the device. However, there are some new photos which prove that the situation is not as sunny as it is claimed to be.

No More iPhone 4s at AT&T Till June 29



500x_iphone-preorder-disaster

If your iPhone 4 is pre-ordered – congratulations to you! You will be probably getting it very very soon. However, if you didn’t preorder, you’ll have to wait 6 more days, till June 29, to buy your iPhone at AT&T.

It’s no wonder that the date has been delayed, what with the mess the pre-ordering system was in and the fact that all the devices were sold out in less than one day. The pre-order sales of the iPhone 4 began on June 15 and they were 10 times as high as those for the iPhone 3GS last year on its first day. The company reports that they are happy to see the excitement around the new device and they are trying to help as many buyers as quickly as possible. As it was announced last week, the priority is to fulfill the pre-orders first.

AT&T is now in the middle of delivering iPhone 4 to those who preordered it on June 15. Here are some guidelines for the buyers getting iPhone 4 from AT&T:

Some iPhones may be delivered earlier



AppleNotifications

On Friday Apple started marking orders for iPhone 4 as "prepared for shipment", but some customers have already received new shipment notifications from the company.

Most of the reports indicate June 24 as a delivery date (as it is seen on the screenshot above), but numerous source reveal there are also some notifications that state a ship by date of June 23.

Apple can request shippers to deliver the items exactly on the launch date, but there were cases when people who ordered an iPad also received it the day or two before the official launch date.

It is also revealed that new iPhones are shipping from Lantau Island, Hong Kong.
