iPhone 4
Pre-order starts June 15.
Available June 24.

Anyone thinking of upgrading their phone to Iphone 4 ?

guy 27
8th June 2010, 02:31 PM
I will upgrade mine when they get a stable jailbreak available for it and also when they have release at least one software update as well to get rid of any initial bugs in the system.

or if my 3g decides to die earlier.

I still have 14 months left of my jail term so I'll probably be looking at iPhone 5 :p

Yeah, it's getting there after installing some custom stuff on it, but gee's there is so much free stuff for it, i even have my work calendar syncing via the net with the phone, which is not an easy task considering we can't install stuff on the pc at work and we have no idea (not allowed ) what our outlook passwords are.

I'm with guy, once reliable jailbreak is available I'll definitey get it. My 3Gs battery is seriously failing. They are only good for 400 recharges.


still got another 4 or so months on my contract, so hopefully there has been a software update on the 4 by the time this is due, then would definitely consider it

OS 4 comes out 21st of June for the iPhone 3g and 3gs. Will allow several new features (if ur not jailbroken already)

i will upgrade then, then teh misses can have my 3g iphone

8th June 2010, 08:02 PM
I have been thinking about the iphone 4 but looking at the features of it I am struggling to see any major jump forward other than a slightly better camera with led flash.
The Software is the major change and everyone else can get that in June as it is.

So.... I just ordered a HTC Desire :)

Android 2.1 FTW!

Pos * has bluetooth to anyone unlike iphone
* Plenty of readily available apps, games
Neg * Camera is quick in good light. Slow in bad light and easily takes fuzzy photos,
* No automatic cam flash you have to manually turn on an led light

The 3gs has a battery designed to always be connected like in a dock, charger etc. It's life is limited to around about 400 full charges. Then it'll start dying

since the iPhone is a sealed unit they have to cover it ;)

Based on my knowledge of the lithium polymer batteries they use in the iPhone, I could not disagree more. Constant charging kills the battery as it collapses the copper oxide layers reducing interstices for lithium placement.

poita
8th June 2010, 08:37 PM
same reason you shouldnt charge a laptop 24/7

Ice
8th June 2010, 08:39 PM
ahhh i was expecting your scientific opinion, haha

but will they initially last Ain ? well like 400 charges as Neeko says ?

I really need something with some decent battery life and dont want to replace it every 3-6 Months.

Lithium copper oxide/nafion batteries are pretty much at the forefront of commercial batteries atm. But as with all lithium based battery, cycling will reduce their capacity. I wouldn't imagine it would be as low as 400, but it all depends on the tolerances applied to them by apple. What sort of thresholds they put on the charging and discharging sequences.

poita

well i've had my iPhone since march last year, holds charge same as the day i got it.

only recently have i noticed a decrease but thats my own doing by running a wi-fi scanner

Just going by what I read, might hbe gotten charging cycles mixed up though.

yer because its a sealed unit and is not user servicable.

I've nearly had the iPhone for a year now and its actually the only phone to survive a full year. All my motorolas died after 1 year of keyboard failure, speaker failure, heart failure or cancer.


Yeah, sorry, wasn't attacking what you said, just thinking of the science behind it, blame the nerd tendancies.
it's cool i couldnt quite remember what I had read so thought of what i was doing to make my battery die. I have mine sitting in a dock most days listening to music.

8th June 2010, 09:12 PM

Once again a jailbreak'd only feature.

I think the Apple bubble is just too restrictive and sterile. If they were really keen on making the greatest device they would release the source code to developers rather than just APIs. But the simple fact is they are interested in selling devices that look cool rather than perform the best.

poita
9th June 2010, 08:14 PM
the thing is though, IMO a vast majority of smart phones only work the best when they are hacked.

xda developers forum is a classic example of this.

Just a side note to the battery questions. I know my macbook pro which uses an apple lithium battery is only good for 300 - 400 cycles then battery life drops by 3/4's!

If im working for a long time at a desk I always plug in and remove my battery these days, at $200 a pop it isnt a nice thing to replace!... MBA soon though :D

That is very right from my experence.

I have a SONY laptop which was bought 7.5 years ago. It still serves me very well. As long as I use the power plug, I remove the battery. The battery is still very good after 7.5 years.

And I have a MB. I did the same thing on it, although it is said the CPU will not work at it's best performence when the battery is removed. I don't care about that and I do not have important data to lose.

I believe in that do the full charge after the battery is empty is still the best way to longer the battey life.

It's only a few cases really. Which is why you back up your blobs using Umbrella or the likes and then point the Apple server to your localhost (127.0.0.1) - That way you can always go back to what you had ;-)

Bit late on this thread, but ah well

I've gotta say, I find this iPhone hysteria funny

I'm not tryin to put it down (i already own and love my iMac comp), but all these so called 'features' are touted as being 'new and fantastic' on the iPhone... yet have mostly been around for years. So am i missing something...?? My trusty old Nokia 6500 slide has video calling, blue tooth, 3.2mp camera... and a battery that seems to work absolutely fine after 2.5 years

I'm out of contract now... yet I don't know if i should upgrade to an iPhone 4, cuz there's almost an expectation that they don't last

After experiencing the crap battery life on my iPod... don't know what im gonna do atm

shame, im pretty sure the new HTC's out are very good......hang on most of them. While the nexus one is meant to be awesome, ive heard of countless stories where people are getting screen burn after only a month.....A MONTH ???? I mean comon wtf ?! however the HTC desire has got some really good reviews only your stuck with Telstra. The Blackberry......well I do like it but we have been having issues here at work where they will just crash and all the data gets wiped. Gives us an error which i cant rememeber but the fix is to reload the OS ! despite always backing up the BB's its a pain in the arse when you have hundreds of new users.

Saw the iphone yesterday. Gotta say im very impressed although it seems pretty limited as to what it can do and running everything through iTunes would shit me. Another attempt for Apple to govern everything you do.

Its either BMW or Mercedes

well Steve you wont get good battery life on any smart phone really. Youll get a day out of them and possible a touch more if your not using as many features but I mean, you have a car charger, wall charger so Its just something you have to suck up as I was looking for the same when buying one but they simply havent got that far advanced yet. If you want battery life get a blackberry but then you miss out on other components that you want. Ive been tossing up for ages on the Samsung Galaxy S and the iPhone4. I have read dozens of reviews and you know last night i had a ****en dream the Galaxy S came out on 3 mobile, haha yes thats how many ive read.

If you want good video, pics and music then they really are both on level par. Yes the iphone does have the better display but to the naked eye, you cannot tell the difference ! Ive read that music quality is slightly better on the iphone when used with headphones.

Ide say go for the iphone mate, it looks better than the samsung and it has what you need. The signal issues people were talking about where only due to crappy US Networks and no one ive spoken to here with the new 4G has said they have had any problems. Just buy a case for it mate because if you drop it its going to cost you alot of money to fix it.

I wont be getting the iphone, but rather the samsung as I cant live with the fact everything is governed with iTunes .... grrrr to Apple.

so it would be a total waste of money.

local shops near me did it for me for a price. parts are original / ghost production shift from the apple manufactor, the whole white housing was covered in black protector so they could smuggle out of the factory
