Vodafone has finally announced when the iPhone 4 in the UK is ready for order. Orders start tomorrow morning (June 24) at 7am where you can order online, in store or over the phone. It isn’t clear in the Vodafone message if you can actually get your hands on an iPhone 4 from Vodafone tomorrow (other than at the Apple store), but for those wanting to get one direct from Vodafone, 7am is the time you can start ordering.

It isn’t clear why Vodafone took so long to make this announcement right on the 11th hour so to speak, but alas, we now have the details. [Read more…]

Update: Pocket Gamer also reports the same details as Recombu.

The iPhone 4 UK launch is tomorrow. We still haven’t heard officially from Three, T-Mobile or Tesco Mobile although Recombu are reporting the Tesco Mobile iPhone 4 prices. We are unsure if they are official as there is no information on the Tesco website regarding the prices. As Tesco are late to the game though (not as late as Three and T-Mob) we thought we’d publish them anyway to give you an idea of what you might be paying.

Tesco has managed to offer iPhone 4 on 12 month contracts. £20/month gets you 250 minutes, 1GB of data and unlimited text messages. Handset prices on this tariff will set you back £349 for the 16GB iPhone 4 and £429 for the 32GB model. This is of course assuming that the tariffs are correct. [Read more…]

The iPhone 4 has already been torn apart by iFixit thanks to UPS or FedEx delivering some iPhone 4’s a couple of days early. Reviews of the iPhone 4 are now online.

Out of all the reviews we noticed the call dropping problem hadn’t totally gone away. All Things D said that the phones biggest downfall was with the AT&T network and even recommended carrying a second phone with you on another network if you wanted an iPhone but needed to make calls more than using data.

The iPhone 4 review at USA Today concludes…

Cutting through the hype, Apple has given longtime diehards, and first-time iPhone owners, plenty to cheer about.

If you have upgraded your Apple [AAPL] iPhone and want to jailbreak iOS 4 then the iPhone DevTeam now have some software that can do just that.

The DevTeam has released Pwnage Tool 4.01 that can jailbreak iOS 4 under certain conditions. It will successfully jailbreak iPhone 3G and 3GS models, but does not support iPhone 2G, iPod Touch and the iPod Touch 3G. Also there’s a few problems/caveats when jailbreaking the iPhone which you can see listed below. Make sure you take a read and study the rules before trying to jailbreak the device. [Read more…]

Before the official launch date, iFixit managed to legally get hold of an iPhone 4 to teardown so they could reveal what’s inside the production model.

The iFixit team had someone fly out to Japan to pick up an iPhone 4 first, but as UPS has been delivering iPhone 4’s early to some customers, they managed to borrow one from someone in Silicon Valley.

The teardown reveals that there is 512MB of RAM in this iPhone 4. Previous leaked models were believed to have 256MB, so the double amount seems to be a last minute decision. [Read more…]

We mentioned earlier today that it appeared that the iPhone 4 from Apple [AAPL] could be landing early in the US. We expected some to show up tomorrow which would make it a day early. However, it looks like some are being delivered today. A few photos have been sent in to Engadget that show an iPhone 4 being unboxed.

It is unclear why the iPhone 4 is shipping early in the US although some believe it could be related to potential activation issues after all the pre-ordering issues that happened last week. By letting some out early it could space the load out on the Apple and AT&T [T] servers making the official launch day run a little smoother. [Read more…]

iOS 4 became available yesterday for download and with that download comes a new privacy policy which by default, lets Apple track where you are and provides that real time information to partners and licensees. What this means is that the new ad system, iAd can be use your location data to customise ads on your phone.

iAd does have an “opt-out” policy allowing you to not send your location based data to the company. In doing so you’ll still see iAd ads, but the relevance of the ads will be dropped a little and wont work based on location. [Read more…]

Walmart appears to have received it’s batch of iPhone 4’s ready for sale on June 24.

The iPhone 4 pictured above (and below) shows what the box will look like when you can get your hands on it in a couple of days time.

The CDMA written on the box in the background is not an iPhone box, but rather an LG 290C which Walmart also stocks. We didn’t want you to get excited too quickly that a version for other carriers was being made available for launch. [Read more…]

Yesterday saw a pretty big launch in terms of OS upgrades. iOS 4 was introduced for iPhone 3G, 3GS as well as newer gen iPod Touch devices.

The 3GS managed to get all the features working but the 3G lacks a few things. One of the big ones was multitasking which we have known about for a long time. Another feature is backgrounds. This is one that a number of people couldn’t figure out as it is thought that using backgrounds wouldn’t require much from the iPhone 3G.

A Gizmodo reader called Erica decided to ask the top man himself, Steve Jobs at Apple [AAPL] about why this is the case… [Read more…]

Apple [AAPL] has now made iOS 4 available for download ready for the iPhone 3GS, 3G and newer generation iPod Touch devices.

The update went like just over an hour ago. To grab it, you need to connect up your iPhone to your computer, load up iTunes and then click on the iPhone and check for updates. You should at that point be able to download it.

Before you download and install it is recommended that you have a backup ready and just to be on the safe side, make sure you have backups of your photos and any other files you may wish to keep. [Read more…]

For those who have ordered an iPhone 4 to arrive this Thursday June 24, the orders are now being prepared for shipping. It is expected that the first batch of iPhone 4’s are already in transit. Don’t get too excited that it’s coming early though as Apple [AAPL] usually ask the shipping companies such as UPS and FedEx, to keep hold of the new products until the official launch date.

Some people have been reporting that their orders are getting cancelled though, with emails supposedly coming from Apple and AT&T which indicate the orders haven’t gone through due to not being able to verify and authorise the order. It isn’t clear what the reason for the authorisation problems are, but it could be bad credit rating, error on the address or simply a lack of stock. [Read more…]
