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…]

Update: Site back up, still no pricing details. We still expect to hear soon and certainly before June 24.

Update 2: As seen in the comments – 3 are being a bit naughty. An email was sent out with the subject, ‘iPhone 4 on Three. Pre-order now. But if you read the full email, it goes on to say, ‘We will be announcing our prices later this week and we’ll be back in touch with more details.

We are seeing messages on Twitter saying that the Three network in the UK has opened up iPhone 4 pre-orders. However, no pricing or mention of tariffs is available in the email and right now the Three website is down for maintenance.

This leads us on to believe that Three could be actually offering pre-orders unlike O2 who have decided to let current customers get the iPhone 4.

As mentioned above, the Three site is down for maintenance but as soon as it opens back up, which we expect to be soon, then we’ll let you know if they have indeed opened up for pre-orders. We’ll also let you know the prices and what you can get for signing up with the network.

Orange has announced on Twitter that micro SIM cards for the iPhone 4 UK model will come with a free adapter allowing you to switch a micro SIM back in to a SIM for times when you want to use a different handset for whatever reason.

The small adapters are the size of a regular SIM card and have a hole cut out which allows the micro SIM to sit comfortably in essentially making it back in to a regular SIM card.

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…]

The iPhone 4 launch is happening this coming week. Part of the new iPhone 4 is the camera that has been upgraded to include a higher resolution sensor at 5 megapixels along with backside illumination and an LED flash. We have previously seen sample pictures from the camera, but these were taken under perfect lighting situations and only show what is possible when used correctly, ie – your actual pictures might not look as good in all situations.

Some people managed to somehow get hold of an iPhone 4 and capture some images with it. The image samples captured measure 2592 x 1936 with the video sample being captured at 1280 x 720 HD 720p.

The video sample can be seen below with a sample image below that and more samples over at jablickar. [Read more…]

There has been a bit of worry amongst those who have ordered a SIM free iPhone 4 in the UK in regards of how and when you can get hold of a microSIM for it. We know that the iPad microSIM’s don’t work on the iPhone 4 mainly because there is no voice activated on them, but carriers have yet to announce release dates of microSIM cards and where to collect them.

When speaking to all the UK carriers earlier this week, Geeky Gadgets was told that microSIMs would not be available until June 24 at the earliest with some saying a few days later. O2 however have now confirmed (in a phone call) that the iPhone 4 UK microSIMs on their network will be available around June 22 which indicates a delivery date of June 23 or 24. [Read more…]

Vodafone is the next network in to reveal the iPhone 4 UK price. Vodafone has slightly increased the prices on the phones from the leaks we found earlier this week although pricing still looks good.

To get an iPhone for free, you’ll need to choose the 16GB iPhone 4 and grab the highest price contract at £65/month for 18 months or £60/month on a 24 month contract.

On the lower monthly prices you’ll pay £30 (18 month) or £25 (24 month) with the 16GB iPhone 4 costing £129. What’s interesting to note is that the price of the iPhone 4 stays the same when comparing a 24 to an 18 month contract although the 24 month contracts are £5 cheaper per month for the same amount of minutes and texts.

Apple [AAPL] has launched a new app called Find My iPhone. The app is part of the MobileMe service and will be familiar to those who already use the service through their computer.

This app differs though as you can use this app to track your iPhone… ie, you need to have two devices to use this. If you lose an iPhone then you can use another iPhone or iPad to track the location of the other iPhone or iPad.

Although you might think it’s a bit bizarre to carry a couple of devices around, it actually kind of makes sense and will be handy in some situations. For example, you leave your iPad in a local store and drive away. You can then pick up your iPhone, load up Find My iPhone and track the location of your iPhone without having to travel home to your PC to track it. [Read more…]

Apple [AAPL] has confirmed that the iPhone 4 has 512MB of RAM inside. The original iPhone and iPhone 3G had 128MB while the iPhone 3GS and iPad have 256MB. Doubling the RAM in the iPhone 4 will allow developers more room to work with.

It is also believed to be the reason why iMovie for example, is an iPhone 4 only download. The 3GS and iPad simply do not have enough RAM to handle the HD video editing.

We had heard that Apple confirmed this 512MB figure during one of the WWDC sessions last week, and have now verified this. The session it was revealed in is now available (Session 147, Advanced Performance Optimization on iPhone OS, pt 2) for registered Apple developers.

On to network details for the iPhone 4. O2 released their iPhone 4 pricing earlier today and Orange also released pricing yesterday. Only 3 networks to go now with Three believed to be holding off revealing the iPhone 4 UK price until other networks have revealed their pricing as Three apparently want to undercut them all on pricing and possibly minutes/data and texts.
