Morris reports, “I spent about 45 minutes playing with Apple’s new iPhone 4. In a word: Wow. And I don’t throw that word around lightly. Here are a few of my first hands-on impressions.”
“Let’s start with the screen, which Apple has branded a ‘Retina Display.’ I can safely say it’s the best mobile phone display I’ve ever seen,” Morris reports. “The form factor of this phone is super thin and really solid. It makes my current iPhone 3GS look like it had one too many burritos. You won’t appreciate the solid stainless-steel frame until it’s in your hand. Everything about the build of this phone feels solid — even the stainless steel buttons.”
“The speed of the operating system is apparent in every app I launched — particularly in the new iMovie app which let’s users shoot, edit, and render full movies on the iPhone,” Morris reports. “In a normal world, editing video on a mobile phone would sound like a ridiculous feat of strength, but Apple just made it happen. And they made it happen without any of the sluggishness I’d expect. I couldn’t help thinking the company just turned everyone with an iPhone into an amateur movie producer.”
“Steve Jobs was asked last week if his WWDC Keynote would have a stylish answer to Google’s recent round of nice Android phones. He answered, ‘You won’t be disappointed,'” Morris reports. “He was right.”

I wonder if Retina will make it to the iPad?
I guess “if” should’ve been “when”
Always nice to hear Apple Accolades…. Even from Fox Noise
Lies!
(BTW, Clayton, where is last weeks podcast?)
iPhone fever!! Worldwide! Even relatives outside the USA are asking for it

To be fair (and balanced?), Fox News is very good with the articles they produce, especially by the local affiliates.
The problem is when the upper management decides to exclude coverage of an opposing viewpoint, to make it seem like there is only one side to an issue.
Aarrgh. Have 2 iPhones 3GS in family plan. Only one eligible for upgrade. So FaceTime would be worthless. Aarrgh.
@Cascadians
Don’t worry, you can still do it. I’ve got 3 on my family plan with 1 year left on my contract. ATT allows only 1 of my phones for the upgrade plan ($200), and the other 2 will cost $400 to upgrade. So, a thousand bucks for 3 upgrades. The current prices for the 3GS on eBay is around $250-$380, so if I sell all 3 for $250 each the total upgrade price I’ll have to pay is $250 ($1000-$750). A new ATT customer would be paying $600 for 3. A deal.
Funny to see the narrow-minded types squirm at just the mention of Fox News. You people need to get a handle on the fact that the current US mindset will be our downfall.
aapl stock has been going down the past week and it’s on a new down trend. take a look at the charts. 270 was the peak!
As usual Fox news is on to of things… while CNN still extracting their head the Obum…
hehe
@Cascadians,
Like many of us you’ll have to wait until you are eligible. I bought our 3GSs on the first day of release last June. The main phone is eligible now for 199 and the second will cost $50 more. You’re probably in the same boat as me. ATT are not showing the new iPhone yet but I guess the same deal will apply once the pre-order window opens.
So it’s not all bad. Your old phones could be handed down or sold on ebay. Even damaged iPhones are selling for $100 on eBay.
Excellent image quality, wow… game changer as usual!
Calling all Googloids, forward this to your head chief Shmoogle criminal to start contacting his cohorts in lawless China, to make another shitty copy of this.
In a related review, did anyone notice the WSJ review of iPhone4?
According to their review, 4 is, at best, no big deal. As a result, I will be ordering mine on the 15th.
@Wingsy:
I hadn’t checked eBay. That means I really will be getting a free phone.
Well, Fox News viewers tend to be distracted by shiny things. And the new iPhone certainly is that.
@ Follower:
appropriate name.
“The speed of the operating system is apparent”
Sounds snappy!
Well; since it’s been validated by Fox News I can trust it to be accurate. It’s good to know that at least 1 news organization still believes in truth & honesty.
“

If you actually watched it, you would know that they include more people of opposing viewpoints than any other network.
But I don’t imagine you will do that. Not my problem, life goes on.
re the Fox site and comments there (and in any discussion of the iPhone vs Android)…
It’s quite funny to see all the Android freaks dissing the iPhone and Apple “zealots” and using such terms as lemmings.
Talk of the pot calling the kettle black!
Since it’s Apple that’s been leading and Android (and the other phones) following, one has to wonder who is really suffering from a reality distortion field (hint… it’s not the Apple “zealots”).
No they don’t put people on Fox with opposing than any other network. Republicans or NeoCons are afraid to go on MSNBC hosts because they will get their butts handed to them in an actual debate, since they can’t hide behind false data and facts.
If Faux noise does put on someone with opposing views they talk over them, cut off their mic, or don’t rebut salient arguments or actually debate. They just ignore and move on when they’ve lost or their ideological viewpoint falls flat.
This is teabagger network, where fantasy is better than reality. Also, your network is partially owned by Saudi Prince, btw.
You might want to go here: http://www.mediamatters.org . It might open your eyes, but I’m sure that’s “not your problem.” Better to be right, than do what’s right.
Mediamatters.org? Right. A self proclaimed progressive spin machine is fair and balanced and non-ideological. Talk about needing your eyes opened.
Good times:
