I'm surprised nobody mentioned yellow spots on the iPhone 4 displays and antenna issues.

Seems like that bitten apple just got some rot on it and you can't even hold the phone to make a call Discuss - could this be a killer or will the Apple fanboys overlook this?

Doesn't sound like a GUI bug if it slows it down.

Even the quality of the phone call dropped rapidly.

This sounds like something basic that should have been caught in testing long ago.

I really had a good laugh when Apple began to manufacture rubber cases as a workaround. If I'm not mistaken these were traditionally made by third parties and not Apple itself. Anyway I wonder what's with those yellow stains on the display.

EDIT: damn, beaten.

If you're buying an iPhone 4, IMO you sure as hell better get a silicon cover for it and a screen protector while you're at it. Still though, it's a really stupid bug that it's hard to believe they didn't catch. I'd be more concerned about the yellow screen though, personally, since a $XXX (what do they cost? 3gs was around $800 last I looked) warrants a $10 rubber protector.

I don't know about you, but I put my phone in my pocket with lots of other crap. Keys, coins etc. My previous phones screen was so scratched up it was hard to see. If I had put a screen protector on it, I could have replace the screen protector and had a phone like-new. iPhones are not matte plastic like most "regular" cell phones, so they're going to show a LOT of scratches if you don't protect them. I would at the very least put on a clear protector (which is just a screen protector like thing that covers the body) if I wanted to "show off" my phone. But in all honesty, I feel embarrassed that I have an iPhone, the opposite of wanting to show it off.

I started doing this with my latest phone, and it's amazing the difference it makes. A friend of mine got the same phone about two weeks after I did, and his looks several years older, it's now so beaten up.

Holding the phone naturally kills all signal -- drops everything for me. I am annoyed...

In reorganizing my folders, I ran into a bug where 20 something apps were randomly taken out of folders and thrown onto new screens. I found a bug where wiggle mode crashes in a special case applying to folders (luckily it recovers well from this). Facetime does not work anymore on my phone after doing a restore of my old phone, although I just had a fix from the internet mailed to me I will try.

With all the issues though -- it's a great phone. Even the battery life feels a bit better.

It's startling how crappy the 3gs looks when set next to a g4. It really looks terrible...

Two of my mates at work have one and they showed me how to stop it working. All he did was hold the left side near the bottom (you know, like how you hold a phone). This shorts the two antennas and the signals drops off.

Apparently the official Apple response is not to hold the phone like that. So there you go, either get a case or hold it like posh people drinking tea.

Call me old-fashioned, but I would have thought somebody might have carried out some basic phone tests before releasing it...8-)

I really hated my Blackberry Pearl, so I'd frequently put it in my pocket with the keys, just as a sort of technological revenge. I'd also drop kick it from time to time.

My iPad envies you

It's still in development.

You could probably jailbreak your ipad and get multitasking.
