Apple began airing their first iPhone 4 commercial last night, an extract of the FaceTime feature video they debuted at WWDC 2010. The original iPhone 2G focused on features, the internet in your pocket, music on your phone. After the launch of the App Store, iPhone 3G focused on disparate apps for (this and) that [...]

Though it got completely buried under the hype and hysteria of the iPhone 4 launch, Apple also released another “new” smartphone last week — the $99 iPhone 3GS 8GB running iOS 4.
Sure it’s “last year’s model” in many ways, but a week ago it was still the best iPhone on the planet, holding up extremely [...]

So how’s iOS 4 Active Sync working for you? iOS 4 allows multiple ActiveSync accounts, meaning iPhone users can finally have their work Exchange setup alongside Google Sync, for example.
I’ve got both Exchange (2003) and Google Sync (Google Accounts) set up on both an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 3GS, and both mail and calendar [...]

This will come as no surprise to anyone who saw all of those lines yesterday: Analysts are saying that Apple probably sold over 1.5 million iPhones yesterday, with 600,000 preorders, 100,000 in-store sales, and 50,000 sales from other places like Best Buy, with the rest coming from overseas. If that number is true (it’s still just an estimate at this point), then Apple soundly broke early sales of the iPhone 3GS, which took a whole weekend to break one million sales. Still, as I said, record numbers wouldn’t be surprising at all, given the turnouts at Apple Stores.
Oppenheimer analyst Yar Reiner also says that about 76 percent of the buyers yesterday were actually upgrading their iPhones, with only about 21 percent switching to AT&T. Of the customers getting an iPhone for the first time, 41 percent were originally T-Mobile, with only 28 percent coming from Verizon (who is rumored to be getting its own iPhone soon).
No matter what the final numbers turn out to be, yesterday was a heck of a day for Apple — anecdotally, it was the biggest launch many of us have ever seen. It’s only a day after release, and already the iPhone 4 is a huge success.

You didn’t really think we’d let you get through a day without setting the iPhone 4 down next to the iPhone 3GS, did you?
The verdict? Well obviously we prefer the iPhone 4, but we will say that the lack of a curved back has us flipping the device around quite a bit post-pocket-pull. But [...]

Poor little iPhone 3G. You are my first iPhone, my first smartphone, my first “I got it the day Apple released it” device. I love you so, and yes, I will miss you when you are gone, replaced by the shiny iPhone 4.
Apparently, I was one of the lucky ones.
First off, the iPhone 3G is forsaken by several of iOS 4′s new features (wallpaper, multitasking, etc.). As an added bonus, warranty provider SquareTrade has released a report showing their repair rates on the iPhone 3G and how it compares to the 3GS. In short: the iPhone 3GS is more reliable than the 3G across the board. I’m guessing this is because the 3GS was an evolution of hardware, so they had a second “model year” to make refinements and changes.
However,
the 3GS had more power and battery related issues in the first year than the 3G did, so it wasn’t flat-out superior hardware. But the 3GS did have less overall trouble in year one the the same period in the 3G’s history.

As the first of two new Speck cases for iPhone 4, CandyShell ($35) is based heavily on the company’s recently released iPad update to its earlier iPhone 3G/3GS and iPod touch case, combining a rubber interior with a glossy hard plastic exterior. The two-tone case has an iPad-like dotted inner layer to reduce weight, as well as curves that are very similar to the iPad’s, matching the flat shape of the iPhone 4. All of the holes line up with the…
