I took my 3G in once to get them to give me a new/refurb one. The guy said my reason was not exactly valid, phone had bezel and backing come apart = dust on screen, so the guy said he will exchange it but his reason was my screen was yellower than normal = defective. so idunnooo Quote:

I am comparing it side by side, and I found
1. The display is "yellower" on the 4 compared to the bright white i see on the 3g
2. It seems the 4's display is a bit narrower (maybe illusion since the 4 is narrower)
anyone confirm? |

Yes i notice that on my iphone 4 too, you probably won't be able to tell if you don't have a 3g or 3gs to compare but i notice the iphone4 is definately duller in color and less bright when on a same brightness setting.
Wondering if this is faulty screen or it the same for all iphone 4. Cause this greatly diminish the clarity of the retina screen. Sure its still super super clear but the color don't pop at your like on a 3g and thus when viewing some pictures my 3g looks better =\

I held the one at Hutchison ("Three") in Hong Kong, and it failed immediately. Held the same way pictured in the other thread - the same way I always hold my phones.
So maybe the problem is carrier dependent? Or are fanboys immune from causing it to happen?

Price of unlimited 3G in HK if you want a "free" iPhone 4: $450 per month ($61 CAD) for 2 years. If you don't: $240 ($32). Plus you have to prepay for the phone, and get a credit over 2 years (interest free).

If you cut it out, you can always just put it back together to be used as a regular sim.
The whole "micro sim" fad is stupid and pointless. Are sim cards/usims really that big? Especially with the fucking ipad.
