Apple apologizes as AT&T puts pre-order on hold

2 Comments

On June 24th, 2010, a giant will fall to its’ knees, temporarily of course…

With the pre-order date for the June 24th, 2010 release of the up-and-coming iPhone 4 now passed, Apple’s servers were overwhelmed with traffic on June 15th. Over 600,000 pre-orders were placed, bringing the mobile computing giant to its knees.

AT&T’s website is no longer taking pre-orders, and Apple’s website has pushed all orders out by weeks. Estimates show that the sales figures so far for the iPhone 4 are 10 times that of it’s immediate predecessor, the iPhone 3Gs. We have our iPhone parts and iPhone Repair services team ready to roll for the first of these pre-orders to break.

An AT&T spokesperson said…

“Given this unprecedented demand and our current expectations for our iPhone 4 inventory levels when the device is available June 24, we’re suspending pre-ordering today in order to fulfill the orders we’ve already received,”

The sheer chaos at both AT&T and Apple Stores alike, brought systems to a near stand-still. AT&T employees had to manually write down customers information, while Apple employees, still using computers, were bogged down and nearly slowed to a complete halt.

Apple was not prepared for this. As stated by an Apple representative:

“[The number of pre-orders] was far higher than we anticipated, resulting in many order and approval system malfunctions. Many customers were turned away or abandoned the process in frustration. We apologize to everyone who encountered difficulties, and hope that they will try again or visit an Apple or carrier store once the iPhone 4 is in stock.”

When June 24th comes around, be sure to see more system failures, many dissatisfied customers, and slower 3G speeds if this is any pre-indication of what is to come.

Many of us loyal Apple iPhone users remember when Apple “changed everything” with the release of the Original iPhone, and the problems AT&T had with that. We anticipate a sleeker design and different iPhone 4repair process than before, involving the how the screen and LCD are put together.

AT&T’s system malfunction sets a new high for traffic to their online store, a staggering 13 million visitors. Many users, when logging into their accounts to check their upgrade eligibility, noticed something weird about what they saw. They were actually able to view other customer’s accounts, including their information.

This crash, glitch, whatever you want to call it sets another milestone for AT&T. First, the original iPhone crashed their systems. Then the 3G followed in its’ footsteps. And now the latest and greatest, the one who will ‘change everything. Again.’ is gearing up and ready to cripple the wireless giant one again in what is going to be quite an unprecedented release.

iOS 4 Software Warning: Multi-tasking

2 Comments

We are going to break down the features of the iOS 4 operating system and update this page over time as soon as we have more time play with the device ourselves.

The iOS 4 operating system is the talk of the town, riding shotgun next to Apple promotional mouthpiece that is Steve Jobs.

Multi-tasking
It is a bit of a sleight-of-hand situation for Apple right now, as they are touting multi-tasking, yet those paying attention realize it is limited multi-tasking. The only Apps that work for iOS 4 multi-tasking are Apple’s own Apps, like clock, safari and mail. If you are buy an iPhone expecting multi-tasking for all Apps from the start, you will be disappointed. So until the developer updates your favorite App you may be out of luck. Given the fact that most do it for free or little money, it could take awhile. While our focus is iPhone repair and iPhone parts we are iPhone app addicts like everyone else so we will monitor this closely.

How it Works

When you press the home screen a dock will appear from the bottom of the phone when switching to another app. This interface is similar to the dashboard in the Mac OS X.

Multi-tasking will be limited beyond the developers catching up with technology, as only seven ‘types’ are aloud.

  • Background audio – Allows you to play audio without interruption
  • Voice over IP – Users can receive VoIP calls while using other apps. You can receive calls while phones are locked in pocket.
  • Background Location – Navigates while using other apps in a way that is friendlier with batteries and moving between cell towers.
  • Push notifications – Receive app updates if it’s running or not.
  • Task Finishing – If you leave your app it can still finish task.
  • Fast app Switching – No more reloading app.
  • Local notifications – Alerts users of events and alarms without a server needed.

Feeling iPhone 4 Fever?

1 Comment

The iPhone 4 is being pre-ordered at a frantic pace, overwhelming servers and frustrating those participating in the frenzy. Only black models are available for pre-order, as some early reports indicated.

Social Media icon and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckenberg finds himself mixed in with iPhone insanity after a he posted a comment on Facebook saying:

This week I got an iPhone. This weekend I got four chargers so I can keep it charged everywhere I go and a land line so I can actually make calls.

We are not in the business of creating drama at iFixyouri.com but we have found ourselves ‘in the center’ when our lead engineer decided to perform a break test of the new iPhone 4, with some limited iPhone parts we got in advance.

We understand the need for video and will deliver, once we receive the actual iPhone 4 phone, with complete parts. We are going to take this beautiful electronic device and break the he** out of it. We will have an HD camera recording the event and the same applies for any break test in the future. Then we will be able to perform, presumably, our first iPhone 4 repair.

The support and fair criticism of our process is appreciated. We ask though that those frustrated or questioning the test to stick with us as we accurately record all tests in the future.

iPhone 4G or iPhone HD? What title will prevail?

Leave a comment

Do you think Apple will roll out a new title with this next iPhone release? We’re not quite sure.

One thing is for sure is that everyone is beginning to talk about it, a lot. Everything is still speculation. From what specs it has to what title it will carry. Absolutely no official specs have been released. We’re almost positive that it will have HD capabilities. This is due to the iPhone OS 4.0 software supporting HD quality preset resolutions. It’s really the main part of the iPhone that is lacking. That, and a front facing camera.

In our professional opinion and the direction we see Apple heading, iPhone 4G or iPhone HD, will be packed full of higher quality video recording/playing. We look at it this way, The new iPhone 4G will be HD. The iPhone OS 4.0 software supports HD quality resolutions. More than likely, we see 3 models of it, 16gb, 32gb, and 64gb.

The new iPhone OS 4.0 will be packed with new features and unfortunately will only be supported on the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3Gs, and of course, the soon to be iPhone 4G – iPhone HD, whichever you may prefer.

No matter what the final decision is, we will be offering iPhone pair from our head quarters here in sunny Florida.

Only time will tell. It’s only a matter of months now! We’re hoping for a change, is say iPhone HD (although it may be wishful thinking).

Goodbye for now!
