Moore's Law

Although Moore states every two years computer chips get better and iPhone only has been out for a year. Newer things will always be better than old. Still, extraterrestial technology is some cool *** **** to have!

soon this phone too will be jailbroken and that's even tighter.


side note: Im still waiting for my hover board

Well I hadn't noticed the yellow tinge until you pointed it out.... now it's really bugging me

When you comapere the two side by side, the new one really stands out...in a bad way.

But wouldn't that affect Video quality? Everything will be toned Yellow...almost like shooting videos without white balancing

Its sad. I want 3G n GPS....but I also want crystal white display.

As for the guy who said, the display looks finer, I doubt the resolution has been improved.

7 to 3 right now in favor of yellow screens. Man, if this keeps up, the 3G iPhone will be remembered as a lemon at launch. That's really unfortunate for all of you that are getting one today.

I would not say that. Mine is only a year old and pealing and cracking on the corners. $195 to fix in the Apple store. NOT COVERED BY WARRENTY

wow, this is the exact fuel that the people who didnt get the 3g need right now.

i might use my gps tommorow to take me to my local apple store, but before i do that ill use my blazing 3g internet speeds to find the stores phone number.

none of which can be done on 2g.

Well the same thing could be said about the first gen iphone, that screen is tinted blue alittle bit..

If enough people complain to apple on their site maybe they would release a gamma type setting in a future update

@ reeko, its not fuel M8. Its a disappointment to hear that the screen is yellow. I personally did NOT get a 3G iPhone, but I certainly don't want to see those who did have this kind of problem. I was as excited as anyone for the launch and have been here all morning to read about how great the 3G iphone is. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case.

my screen looks perfect however if i turn my earpiece past #1 on my volume everyone i talked to sounds terrible. there is a crackle past volume 1

no matter though they only had the 8GB available by the time i got into the store so i plan on returning it with the $20 restocking fee for a 16GB within a week or 2

lets hope the new one has this same screen
