      No new iPhone 4s until June 29th

      June 23, 2010 /
      If you were planning to pop by your local AT&T store to pick up an iPhone 4 on launch day, take the morning to get some extra sleep instead. AT&T will not have extra stock on hand for launch day as was initially thought.

      The first batch of stock phones won’t be available until June 29th, when it will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. This is just for AT&T, though, so you might have a shot at the new handset at a Best Buy or Apple retail store.

      Here’s the official word from AT&T:

      • Retail purchase (no preorder): AT&T plans to have iPhone 4 inventory – available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last – on June 29 in its retail locations, at www.att.com, and in business sales channels. As inventory sells out, AT&T will offer the convenient option of purchasing iPhone 4 and having it delivered to a home or business or an AT&T store. As always, customers will receive an email once their order is placed, and again when it ships.

      iPhone 4 to deliver one day early on June 23rd [updated]

      June 22, 2010 /

      I got an email early Tuesday morning, apparently from Apple, advising me that the iPhone 4 would be arriving a day early, on June 23rd. The email also stated that my FedEx information may show a different date, but that I should expect the package on the 23rd.

      I am a little wary of this, as it seems an odd thing for Apple to do. As far as I can tell, the email looks legit, but I will remain speculative until I can confirm that it’s authentic.

      UPDATE: Looks like this is indeed the case. Users all around the web are reporting receiving the same email. It looks like Apple and AT&T may be trying to reduce server load for the launch of the iPhone 4. Whatever the reason, I’ll have an iPhone 4 tomorrow, and I’m pretty happy about it!

      iOS 4 available now for download

      June 21, 2010 /
      If you haven’t plugged your iPhone into your computer recently, you might want to do so. iOS 4 is now available as a free download through iTunes.

      Before downloading, make sure you transfer any purchases you may have made from your phone to your computer and run a manual backup. From there, it’s an easy install. iOS 4 brings some nice new features, including the ability to multitask, which is pretty fantastic. You can also now use custom backgrounds, create folders, have up to 5x digital zoom in the camera app, and access the new mail app, which includes threading, all among the other features.

      The best part of all of this is that the update is free.

      Some iPhone 4 orders are being inexplicably cancelled

      June 20, 2010 /


      This is just getting ridiculous – after this morning’s report that the iPhone 4 had shipped for many pre-orderers, there’s now news that some consumers have had their iPhone 4 pre-orders inexplicably cancelled. Here’s what the emails say:

      Your iPhone order has been cancelled.

      Your credit card has not been charged.

      If you believe you have received this email in error, please return to the AT&T store where you placed your order.

      Sincerely,
      AT&T

      I’m thinking my initial response would be “Yeah, this is in error. I ordered the damn phone on day one. My order shouldn’t be cancelled without reason.” After many people talked to both AT&T and Apple, it seems there were either authentication issues on AT&T’s end or we just don’t really have a reason for things being cancelled.

      Anyone actually think launch day will be a success? As it stands, I’m guessing I’ll be using my 3GS for another month because AT&T’s activation server is going to explode.

      iPhone 4s have started to ship

      June 20, 2010 /

      iPhone 4 shippedI woke up this morning to an email from the Apple Store with the above message. The iPhone 4 has started shipping to customers across the country. My phone is currently in Lantau Island, HK.

      Though my own estimated delivery date is the 24th, some people have reported estimated deliveries for the 23rd. Apple will likely issue do-not-ship commands for Fed-Ex to keep the phone from releasing early. It always seems like someone screws those up, though, so maybe you’ll be lucky and get your iPhone 4 a day early.
