Now's a bad time for selling the iPhone 4. I got offers at $320-$340 but I'm waiting until it goes back to normal so I can sell at $380 to $400 (iPhone4 16GB Fido)

Buy more of them and sell them when it "goes back to normal." That, or take a huge loss when you realize that's the new normal.

Or a good time to buy an iphone.

I picked up a white 16gb att for myself for 300 and a black 16gb for my girlfriend for 275. Both mint condition and warranty expires in may and march respectfully.

Considering I sold my 32gb which was out of warranty for $500 in july, Im happy. I paid $75 more and I got two iphones instead of one lol.

Actually seems like majority on Vancouver Craigslist are $380 to $420.

Does iMessage allow you to text people in other regions for free or is or limited to a single region? Basically I'm wondering if I can text my cousins in Spain without racking up extra fees.

Since its data so I believe so.

If you want it to look super sexy you don't dress it up

 

[Solideliquid]

The camera is a major upgrade, as expected.

Does anyone use HDR? What's it for?

 

[Solideliquid]

Black Bumper. Very sexy. Good balance of protection and still allows the entire phone to be seen as much as possible.

I dropped my phone from my pants pocket, onto uneven gravel parking lot, and then got out and stepped on the phone before I realized it had fallen. Not a scratch. Bumper.

[Tabris]

Case-less is the way to go. Just keep it in a separate pocket from your keys. My phone will always be sexier than yours cause I go case-less.

 

[BocoDragon]

I found the perfect companion for my white 4S, and I found it quite by accident yesterday. It's perfectly clear, hard plastic on the back, clear rubber on the edges. Has a nice lip to protect the front. Looks sexy as fuck on the white.

It was from "case mate" and I found it at a Rogers store in the mall. Hopefully someone out there can find it too.

 

[reilo]

Doing the restore process (3GS -> 4S) right now.

The hardware design of this thing already is leaps and bounds better than the 3GS.

 

[MiniKelly]

Is there any way to use an old iphone4 or old android phone without data plan on verizon?

On tmobile, I can switch phones without telling tmobile. Any similar way on Verizon. My mom doesn't care about data plan but prefer a larger screen than the dumb ones.

 

[reilo]

Does the 4S not come with a SIM? Do I need to transfer over the one I have in my 3GS?

 

[JackEtc]

Just went out to my patio to take my first outside shots with this phone.

I am blown away.

 

[dallow_bg]

Definitely the best camera phone out there.
Will be great for when I don't have my regular camera which is nearly all the time.

 

[kingocfs]

Absolutely love using Siri for sending texts. The speech recognition is fantastic. It takes a bit getting used to speaking the punctuation, but it works perfectly and is saving me a lot of time.

 

[duracell017]

Is there a way to close all apps at once (without having to touch each app) when in the apps running mode at the bottom of the screen?

Those apps are dormant. They are closed.

Very good question.. Would love to know too.

 

[duracell017]

Oh i didnt know that. So they do not take a lot of battery power?

 

[Gary Whitta]

Any info on if Apple Stores are selling out or have stock available for walk-ins?

I'm pretty sure there's no way to use a smartphone without a data plan on Verizon.

 

[dream]

Not if they're not doing anything (and most won't be).

Really, when it comes to iOS, don't worry about managing tasks -- just let the system take care of it for you.

How do you speak with punctuation like question marks, etc?

 

[StrikerObi]

Do we have a wallpaper thread? All my 3GS wallpapers are too low res. I want prettier pictures.

 

[reilo]

Nevermind, works now.

 

[Wario64]

Really, when it comes to iOS, don't worry about managing tasks -- just let the system take care of it for you.

So even if I have like 10 games in the background, it shouldn't be a problem?

 

[Leona Lewis]

So even if I have like 10 games in the background, it shouldn't be a problem?

They're not really running in the background. They're temporarily suspended in a save state. You should be fine, and I doubt you'd even get to ten games before the system just starts flushing them from RAM.

 

[JackEtc]

Ooh someone should make this....

 

[dream]

Games in particular shouldn't be a problem because they are literally completely dormant once you switch to another app.

And you probably won't have 10 games in the background -- the multitasking bar is more of a task switcher, rather than a representation of open apps.

 

[Leona Lewis]

There is an ancient iPhone 4 wallpaper thread from the dank recesses of GAF history. It's been necro-bumped recently, so might as well just continue using it.

Here's one that was made when the iPhone 4 launched, but it wasn't very active:

How do you speak with punctuation like question marks, etc?

You use a rising intonation followed by a somewhat sudden stop before you would start to bring your tone down.

Imagine hearing girl from the valley say: "Like, Really?" - That should have 2, one at the end of "Like" and at the end of "Really" - the second one will be the higher of the two.

 

[KHarvey16]

Any info on if Apple Stores are selling out or have stock available for walk-ins?

Just got back from the Boston store after buying my case and there was still a long line being attended to by security guards. I imagine they wouldn't be managing the line and letting people on if they had run out, so things look pretty good at least at this location.

Store was a zoo, by the way.

Actually I don't really find this to be accurate a lot of the time. I literally say the name of the punctuation and it works much better. Obviously it isn't as natural, but you get used to it.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Got my iPhone 4S (32gb black) yes. Still sealed. Played around both white and black models today. I like the look of the white better overall but feel like the screen pops better out of the black bezel. Still undecided.

Also, is there any information on how much space the camera's 1080p video takes up? I'm not beyond upgrading to 64gb.

Also, any Bay Area/CA Verizon users here? How do you like your 3G data performance?

 

[BoboBrazil]

Anyone using the 4s on sprint? Care to do some speed tests?

The white bezel is distracting, and since the point of the iPhone is the screen, I can't imagine anyone getting it. If you want a white iPhone, get a white case.

1 hour of 1080p HD video is about 11 gigabytes.

anyone's phone get very warm quickly? also battery life is very ehhh

That's in Omaha, NE with 3 bars each time. Terrible speeds.

Ok typical Sprint 3g speeds then lol wow

 

[kingocfs]

Sprint speeds on Long Island. Not great, but I rarely lose it.

Got my white 16GB today. It's a huge improvement to my prior 3GS but Siri outside the US -and- in German seems to be improvable while the English version works great.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Does anyone know if there's a window where I can get out of my new Verizon contract if I'm not satisfied with the network? For example if service at my home location is poor etc. Yet to unbox the phone, just wondering in case.

14 days.

I think most phone companies have some clause where you can get out of a contract if you don't have coverage. Otherwise there are other ways of getting out of a contract, most of which involve losing your number though.
