Apple holding iPhone OS 4 event, April 8th!

Ah well looks like my 3G will have to last a little longer.

Wish they would get a move on about getting a new iPhone out though!

Was all sounding good mid way through the commentary - return from dinner to find no support for the iPhone 3G. Not impressed really.

I know someone who is a Dev and he downloading it all at the moment... Hope to have a play with it on sunday when he round

A way to shrink the icons size and allow five in the dock would have been nice.

Read back and see how that is just wrong.

Even just look at the image I posted.

1, you can drop the atitude im just trying to understand.

Sorry for not seeing a pic, and yes, that does look misleading, but I would never buy such a product without a little research to be honest.

Historically the new iPhones have been released / announced at WWDC, which is in June. You've got another couple of months wait yet.

Overall, it was rather dissappointing given that we know our devices are capable of a great deal more. Hell they didn't even change the tired and dated homescreen. Still, 1500 new API's is a great boost for developers...possibly to produce more crap, but I guess time will tell.

Sorry, still quite ****ed.

Just tried to contact the seller (competitor) but their online email form doesn't work and they don't have an email address available. :rolleyes:

In-store "False Advertising" fuss on the way.

Its fine, but yes, with the "NEW" sitting like that stright off teh store you would assume seeing the new OS being sent out in the SUmmer that it was able to run it, so I would go down the false advertising route, is that screen shot from the same page/ link that you clicked on to buy it?

Bought in-store, but it's the same information on the catalogue.

Hard to find any information that officially states the 8GB is a 2nd Gen model though to back me up.

Just go to the Apple web compare iPod touch page. 32 and 64gb have new by them, 8gb doesn't

samat2001 · 8 Apr 2010 at 21:11

Not too bad - though I was hoping for a new iPhone announcement - my iPhone contract has just run out and I don't want to go for the 3Gs because I know there will be a new one just round the corner. I can wait for a few months still..

This argument is pointless. Even if they labelled it the 3rd generation, the SOGA does not apply. You were never promised OS 4.0.

Apple will simply correct themselves and say "btw, the update won't be coming to 3rd gen 8GB model".

Raptor · 8 Apr 2010 at 21:29

No argument with Apple, its with the retailer, if I have read it correctly.

No, I wasn't, but by labelling it 3rd Gen in-store, they were advertising it as having the improved hardware. Something that is promised and is certainly not pointless.

Even then. A 3rd generation 8GB model never existed. What exactly have you been missold? I doubt they stated in the listings the incorrect processor.

Raptor · 8 Apr 2010 at 21:32

3rd Gen never exsited, yet they sold it as one.
Seems a fair argument to me.

So it's OK to advertise an item as such as long as it never existed? :confused:

Prob why ive just thought it was an iPhone 3G, ive just seen the 8GB.

Anywho, I own a 3GS, it was my first iPhone purchase, im very happy with th Dev release, as thsi will mean better than expected things for teh end user.

THe multitasking/ App switching progress alone makes it now the perfect phone for me, assuming the Apps I use most are updated to benifit this.
