[UK] iPhone 4 Handset Prices Announced PAYG


Recommended Posts

  1. Apple didn’t manufacture Apple A4, it was Samsung who manufactured it. Apple designed it (source). Also, Apple haven’t said exactly what clock speed the A4 is running inside of the i4. It may have been down clocked to extend battery life.
  2. This is a curious one, as I have only seen the screen pitted against the 3GS. I can read sites fine on my Desire.
  3. Coming to the Desire, and I do believe the Nexus One already has it (via hack). But can see it coming officially.
  4. And what exactly? I have seen nothing that says that this will improve the phones reception & maintaining signal.
  5. HTC Desire has 5 MP camera…? AFAIK neither have released more details on what the lens or sensor is.

I don’t say what I say to be ‘edgy’ and ‘cool’. I say it because it my opinion. And never once did I say I was right.

I do give credit where credit is due. I give credit to the fact that Apple has pretty much imploded the smartphone market. Without the iPhone I can’t have seen the plethora of smartphones we have on the market now. Same goes for tablets devices (iPad) and media players (iPod).

What I do hate (and no I don't hate Apple as you imply) is that all logic and sense of reason go out the window when Apple are involved.

1. Thats what i meant Apple designed, its their own CPU

2. So you can read websites with small print zoomed all the way out?

I can barely read that on my 1920x1200 monitor let alone on a 800x480 screen. On the iPhone 4s screen text on websites zoomed all the way out are clearly legible.

3. It should be designed for 720p video capture from the start not patched in half assed later on, from what little information ive gleaned this is totally my own opinion but the iPhone 4 will have a better CMOS sensor than any of the HTC phones out now from my experience of HTC phones going all the way back to the HTC Canary in 2001/2002 with its add on camera dongle.

4. So you dont think an external antenna that runs the whole way around half of the phone wont boost reception compared to an internal smaller antenna?

5. Again in my opinion the iPhone will have a way better CMOS sensor than anything HTC has.

What vacuum of logic, sense or reason have i displayed in this thread?

Im going off hardware facts not some silly fanboy loyalism, the iPhone is more advanced than any phone on the market no matter how much you try and justify the money you spent on the clearly inferior Desire.

1. Meant and said are two different things ;)

2. In landscape mode yes, perfectly readable. Portrait no. But again, I have only seen the new "retina display" compared against the older 3GS. Nothing newer.

3. Samsung Galaxy S ;)

4. My original statement still stands, I haven't seen anything that says it will improve reception. Anything I or you say is purely opinion and guesstimate, untill we actually have facts.

5. Exactly, your opinion. Considering we don't have any hardcore facts to go on.

And I chose not to answer your last sentence/statement, because it says more about you than me :)

Edit* Forget to say, I never said you personally showed any lack of reason, sense or logic.

I dunno, what's weird is that they've pretty much stopped talking on Twitter. At least Vodafone are still talking (allbeit giving the "We dont know when" line).

Hang on, there is this page if that is what you are looking for?

Edit* No it isn't. Just a very generic table of price plans. Nothing in-depth like Orange's.

http://iphone.orange...ans/#iPhonePAYG

So £480 on Orange PAYG.... that's not £450.

Considering you have to buy £10 top up with the phone that means it's £490 and then another £10 charge on top to unlock the phone straight away and it's £500. So it makes sense getting it from Apple.

I don't think you have to top up £10, looks like it's included to me.

Also is the 'Monkey' tariff new, it gives free streaming music & texts.

Has to be said: told you so :p O2 will no doubt have a P&G price up today or very soon too.

If they ask me to buy another sim with it though I'll explain I'm already an O2 customer and they can phone to check with them :yes: Either that or I'll make sure I buy from my mate in the Apple Store :p Also, with Simplicity on O2 you can unlock iPhones for free using their request site :happy:

Oh no, you've saved a whole 10 quid buying a locked payandgo from orange :p >.>

O2 prices are much better than Oranges (contract) - especially on 18 month tariffs.

Agreed, Oranges 18 Month Contracts are shocking! I went into my local Orange Shop this afternoon (as I have a contract with them at present) and asked them about what the situation is with the iPhone 4 on the 24th with them, can I pre order one on PAYG?! Will they even have any PAYG handsets in?!

All I got was that they are opening at 8am and probably best to come in then as they don't know anything at this moment in time........

Btw, I have decided I'm buying a PAYG iPhone 4.

Pay & Go tariffs

You may know this, but you don't need a monthly contract to get an iPhone. iPhone 4 will be coming soon to Pay & Go but it won't be available at launch. When we have more information on pricing we will let you know.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
