[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “JES42” for the heads up.]
You could use the cameras plugin to disable the auto loading
The update messed up my phone. It now displays everything double-sized and I need to use my finger to sweep behind the edges like in OS X screen magnification feature.
Haha! I just figured it out in the Apple discussions forum. I had somehow switched it on myself. Its solved now!
Here is the link for the free camera pref pane plugin:

Please note peoples: BLUETOOTH TETHERING is once more possible with this update. It has returned and mobile configs are recognised and work again. PRETTY NIFTY!

Don’t know if there is a different between Snow Leopard versus previous versions but the Image Capture on SL has setting for specific device/camera.
See the screen shots here
The Image Capture version is 6.0 (424)
“The image capture application doesn’t have the option to disable just iPhone.”
On mine, if I only hook up iPhone and wait, I can click a dropdown and choose an application to open or none.
Then disconnect, plug in the D300 (mine is a D60, but I plug the SD into a card slot that reads it as the same), wait, and then Choose ‘Aperture’ as the program you want to open when connected.
My iPhone never opens a program. My D60 opens iPhoto.
The only reason I can think this may not work is if you are running Leopard or Tiger. I am running Snow Leopard.
TowerTone,
Same story here using Leopard, Camera opens, iPhoto and iPhone opens nothing.

Try Cameras, a free preference pane plug-in @ http://www.flexibits.com/
You can set up different preferences for different cameras. My iPhone does NOT open any photo apps when connected, but my Sony α200 opens Aperture and my point-and-click opens iPhoto. Nice

I’m using 10.5.8
Works great.
Try this:
Home Folder>Applications>Image Capture
With or without your iPhone connected.
Open this app
on the main screen lower left hand corner it reads:
“Connecting this iPhone opens:
Use the pop up menu to select:
“No application”
Quit and reconnect iPhone.
Hope this helps.
Thanks everyone for all your kind suggestions. I’ll try follow them tomorrow, it’s a bit late here right now. Will update if and when I’ll find the right solution. Cheers!
To generally improve the snappiness of your iPhone, periodically restore factory settings (after doing a backup first) and restore the iPhone backup. This process essentially includes “defragmenting” your flash drive so it can be read faster, hence making it snappier. You can notice the snappiness when typing fast on the virtual keyboard and the keys can keep up with you, loading apps, no more sluggish animations, etc.
This software update may have improved snappiness in its own right, but doing a restore as mentioned above will improve snappiness as well.

Well, that’s a crappy way to start the day!
That’s why I hated doing HTML by hand. Back to Dreamweaver.
@ Eamonn
What do you mean tethering is back? I lost that back at 3.0, but are you saying I can do it again?
Hey, everybody on here who’s a Cowboys fan should check out the Dallas Cowboys app. It’s called Cowboys 09 and it has features such as exclusive video and up to the minute news about the Cowboys.
Still no .ics attachment support (calendar notifications from outlook).
iPhone users get along, ipad is coming and that will “fix” it all
