For those ordering the iPhone 4 in the US yesterday, you’ll probably be more than aware of the issues that arose from trying to make a simple order. Some are reporting that they tried for up to 3 hours trying to get a pre-order through while others are now also indicating that they saw other peoples accounts when completing the order process.

This news follows an incident last week where 114,000 email addresses were made available of iPad 3G customers. This was also a security fault at AT&T.

AT&T are unable to recreate what has happened to customers but did say that nobody saw any credit card details, addresses or social security numbers. Either way, it’s a pretty big mess up on their behalf. [Read more…]

If you were planning on pre-ordering a SIM free iPhone 4 in the UK this week then you will now need to wait an extra week before it ships to you.

After yesterdays server problems at Apple [AAPL] due to the high amount of people wanting to order the iPhone 4, it somehow magically seems that they have shifted the first shipment of the smartphone. We now see on the Apple store that new iPhone 4 pre-orders are not shipping till July 2 making those who left it too long wait an extra week.

It is unclear why carriers are yet to open their pre-order pages, especially with Apple selling their first batch of pre-orders in less than a day. [Read more…]

Apple [AAPL] has just launched a new application for the iPhone called Apple Store. It’s a VERY simple idea that brings the online Apple Store to the iPhone in the shape of an application.

To run the application you just need to be on iOS 3 or above meaning it will work now. It currently is restricted to those in the US from what we understand.

The application lets you browse through the Apple product catalog, pre-order, order and check reviews. Other features include the ability to check where local stores are. [Read more…]

Yesterday some leaked screen shots made their way around the internet from a Vodafone test site which showed the iPhone 4 tariffs in the UK. We now see that the phone could actually be more expensive if the 3GS prices are followed. If what we hear is correct then we have been told the pricing will match the 3GS pricing with the 1GB data limit also.

Yesterday the iPhone 4 UK price screen shots revealed that the Apple iPhone was going to be free on £65/month contracts (32GB model). The 3GS pricing sees this jump up to a free iPhone 4 on a £70/month 18 month contract.

Pricing on the lower end would stay the same though with the £30/month contract bringing in the phone at £280. [Read more…]

The Apple store might be down and not allowing pre-orders of the iPhone 4 in the UK, but if you head on over to the online retail store you can reserve an iPhone over there for collection. The good news with doing it this way is that you get 3 options when purchasing. You can select from PAYG, SIM Free or Contract. We just pre-ordered a contract model ready for collection in Brighton on June 24.

Unfortunately contract details are not readily available just yet, but as there is no real commitment other than logging in to the Apple website to let them know who you are, you can either just not show up, or just choose something different on the day of launch.

We suspect that when collecting and paying for your iPhone that you’ll be presented with all the network options so you can make a choice in store for what you want, and get it subsidised too. [Read more…]

It seems like a huge amount of people are trying to pre-order an iPhone 4 since the smartphone became available this morning. Right now the store is down and many errors have been seen along the order process with what seems to be few people actually managing to send Apple [AAPL] money.

Apple are obviously aware of this and hopefully will bring the site back up soon. In the UK we are still expecting carriers to update their pages and allow pre-orders, but for now we are just stuck with the “We’ll be back soon” message. [Read more…]

After a week or so of waiting, Apple [AAPL] has now added the iPhone 4 to it’s store. The price with no contract is £499 for the 16GB model and £599 for the 32GB model.

As previously rumoured just last night, the White iPhone 4 is not available just yet. We have heard September sometime before you can get your hands on it.

The good thing about buying direct from Apple is that the phone is unlocked allowing you to choose any network you want. [Read more…]

Engadget are hearing that Apple [AAPL] could be blocking 3rd party retailers from allowing pre-orders tomorrow as mentioned below…

We’ve been tipped that Apple may now be blocking third-party retailers from taking pre-orders altogether tomorrow. RadioShack already changed its story on us, and now Best Buy locations have started doing the same, telling us that they definitely won’t be taking pre-orders tomorrow but may be by the end of the week. Bottom line — hit up Apple’s website in the morning.

Wise advice we think as retailers are starting to give back word on pre-orders. [Read more…]

Best Buy [BBY] has pushed out a press release stating that they will be offering iPhone 4 pre-orders starting tomorrow on June 15. The company will be taking pre-orders at stores nation wide and will allow you to reserve an iPhone 4 for launch day on June 24.

“Adding the iPhone 4 to our stores alongside other great smartphones like the HTC EVO from Sprint and HTC Incredible on Verizon, gives customers a great opportunity to view each side-by-side and get the mobile phone that works best for them.”

“Offering the iPhone 4 to consumers is just the latest example of how Best Buy Mobile has become the place to go for the best smartphones. It’s exciting to have an opportunity to launch this iconic device with this pre-sale,” said Shawn Score, president of Best Buy Mobile. “Adding the iPhone 4 to our stores alongside other great smartphones like the HTC EVO from Sprint and HTC Incredible on Verizon, gives customers a great opportunity to view each side-by-side and get the mobile phone that works best for them.”

One of the biggest features of the iPhone 4 from Apple [AAPL] is the new screen used which they call the Retina Display. The retina display has four times the amount of pixels when compared to the older iPhone models. This, according to Apple, makes it impossible to see the individual pixels when using the device at a normal distance away from your eyes.

There’s been a few complaints about Apple’s claim, but I think the picture above (larger below and even larger when clicked on) really shows what the new resolution is all about. We’ll wait until we see the iPhone 4 screen for ourselves, but from samples we have seen and side-by-side comparison pictures on the internet, it certainly looks very impressive. [Read more…]

Details of iMovie for iPhone 4 have been revealed.

Last week when the iPhone 4 was announced by Apple [AAPL], a demonstration of iMovie was presented. The iMovie applications lets iPhone 4 users edit HD video and create themes, transitions, titles and other features beyond the usual editing that we normally see on a smartphone.

Although the demonstration showed some impressive features, there are still some unknowns to iMovie such as the compatibility with an older iPhone. TidBits managed to get some information from Apple regarding the new features and how it will work, what it will work on and so forth. [Read more…]
