It looks like the UK pre-orders for pickup of the latest Apple iPhone 4 have sold out for Launch Day on the 24th June. The Apple Store was unavailable earlier today possibly due to the thousands of Appleites attempting to reserve their new iPhone 4. After about 2 hours it was back again, with the [...]
iPhone 4 Sold Out
All is not lost though you can still get your new iPhone 4 by buying online and according to the Apple Store it will be delivered on the 24th. Unfortunately there are no white ones available.
Apple’s original colour, white, will not be available for the new iPhone 4 on the launch day. In a strange move Apple seem to be supplying only the black version of the new iPhone 4 according to the iPhone 4 pre-order section of the company’s website. The white version has not been dropped, just not [...]
No white iPhone 4
This will disappoint a large number of Apple faithful who have always purchased the White MacBook, White iPod and White iPhones. It is a difficult choice for them having to select between getting the new iPhone in black on launch day or waiting an indefinite period of time to get the beloved white phone.

iPhone 4 pre-orders
I finally decided to have a try with a different browser and was successful in ordering 2 iPhone 4s using Firefox. Even after placing my order it took a long time before I received my email confirmation, so do not be too worried if you don’t get your email for up to 30 mins.
Isn’t it ironic that I was unable to order the latest shiny new Apple iPhone on an Apple computer using Apple Software. Just over an hour later it looks like my problem has been fixed as the MacPro can load the drop down properly. You can imagine my frustration at not being able to place my reservation… Continue reading »

iPhone 4 pre-orders in UK
Well the waiting is over Apple have announced the price of the new iPhone 4 on their website. Coming in at £499 for the 16Gb and £599 for the 32Gb the iPhone 4 is somewhat more expensive than expected, but is SIM free and can be used with any provider. We are still awaiting contract pricing from the various UK wireless carriers. Click here for advanced reservation on the Apple site. The new iPhone 4 will be available on June 24th 2010.
It is difficult to make a direct price comparison to the US devices as the iPhone4 is not offered SIM Free in the USA, you have to buy it with a 2 year contract from AT&T and thus the hardware is subsidised.
