what's up Apple fighters I'm back and I'll be back for a while so let's get into all the good and bad inside the world of Apple now it's impossible to avoid the iPhone 4 fever and it all started on launch day so let's check out some of the action from San Francisco that wrapped around three whole sides of a city block Brad Tom here with cnet.com at the launch for iPhone 4 these people have been here what since 3:00 a.m. or so that's 30 hours it's very Center you guys right for this thing the phone I have right now is the phone I've had for five years it's like an LG it's really old cover fell off every time I try to use it shuts off it can only store 50 messages and do nothing more so this guy Chris right here was the first person in line he's been wonderful a few days and I actually saw some of the blog's that he had been awaiting here he had reserved a spot ahead of him and he reserved a spot through a site called Airbnb and I had actually went through the site and took that reservation I paid $400 for how long have you been here and then a minute would you rather be here in line or doing something else so I think the most frustrating thing about today is that I just came here to get new ear buds I've been here since 5:00 a.m. yesterday yeah 5 mm since yesterday so I'm number 5 or 6 if someone comes up to me and just told me here I'll give you $1,000 I would give to them but they give me like 800 I would still do it so what are you most interested about with this iPhone where you guys from Alabama well we wanted to be here for the Apple experience you know in San Francisco so very proud to be here I tried to pre-order couldn't get it on a pre-order all right guys this line extends around two city blocks I'm here at approximately the three hour mark that's three I'm gonna sit down for a little while oh yeah this is set processor booths two cameras HD video hello yes that's the first thing I'm gonna do I just need to find a lady with a 4G okay you guys got your phones how do you feel I'm so emotionally drained we live in a loft so I'm gonna FaceTime her from downstairs while she's upstairs that sounds dirty oh yeah oh yeah baby Oh next thing you know he's gonna talk about his Oh face time yeah I know I have issues now early reviewers are touting the iPhone as the best phone they've ever seen but maybe getting their phone a week early got them a little too excited videos flooded the internet showing some of Apple's new baby losing signal bars or even dropping calls when covering the left-hand corner with your hand your hand it's the thing that we use to hold phones now apparently bridging the gap between the two antennas with conductive material like a key or even your skin is enough to affect the signal SJ even responded to a customer's email saying non-issue just avoid holding it that way okay that's a total BS response if I've heard one now it isn't happening to every phone but bloggers have found a solution Apple's bumper case you know it's that $29 rubberband they're selling now I actually have some right here and they are free now that's not all other people are also discovering yellow spots and bands of discoloration on their iPhone four screens according to Gizmodo Apple's told customers that it's residue from the manufacturing process and the yellow spots should clear up in a few days under sounds like my blanket in sixth grade now count them up that's two black guys for Apple on launch day and both are worthy of some real nasty bad apples but it's not stopping Apple from selling an estimated 1.5 million phones in the first day that's just ridiculous now just think of all those people waiting in those three plus hour lines ho to be a trendsetter at their local swimming pool with the all-white iPhone 4 Apple announced the white version will be delayed until the second half of July due to some manufacturing issues after those people align it sucks to be you but it might be July until you get through that line anyways alright if you didn't get an iPhone you weren't left out of the party because iOS 4 was released last week so we're bringing you some tips that you might not know about many of you have loaded your iPhone or iPod Touch with the latest iOS 4 and you're playing around with all the new features like multitasking and folders but there are a lot of hidden gems you might not know about in the settings with the latest OS you now have the ability to turn off your cell phone data usage while still using the phone just for calls and text messages all you have to do is go into your settings and then general and then network and you'll see the cellular data option and this is a big deal for people who want to save data now I'm messaging on my phone a lot and there's a couple new features here as well go to your messages settings and then you can turn on the character account function if you're on a tight text message plan you'll be able to tell if you're about to go over the character limit and avoid an extra message from being sent you also have the ability to search through your messages so if you don't see it just pull down to reveal the search bar type in a word and voila there are your messages with that word in them and while we're talking about search when using the universal search in iOS 4 when you type in a word you now have the ability to search the web or Wikipedia for that term now let's shift over to photos your pictures can be organized into albums but if you sync your iPhone with Apple's iPhoto your pictures can also be organized by faces and places and it's just kind of fun to see where your pictures have been taken on a map moving it around and looking at all of them and any pictures in your camera roll that you decide to email right after you hit the send button you'll see a prompt that lets you choose the size of the picture that you can send off I'm Brian Todd for cnet.com and there's still more iOS secrets we have for you and you might even find some for yourself so use them wisely thank you really smart guy now we also have another set of tips on CNN TV so check those out as well now Steve Jobs told us that iPhone 3G owners wouldn't have all the i/os for features like multitasking but who would have guessed that custom wallpapers would be too much for the 3G to handle because those intense animations just really slowed down the user experience alright that's gonna do it for this week's show i'm brian tong you can send your emails to the apple by de escena comm with your iphone for reactions both positive and negative thanks for watching we'll see you guys next week for another bite of the Apple yeah no no I can hear you perfectly fine I'm supposed to hold it this way that's
