Verizon iPhone 4 Suffers Death Grip

 

Everyone knows that the AT&T iPhone 4 suffers from the 'death grip', but everyone thought that the Verizon iPhone 4 would have that problem fixed with the antennas at the top, but that was wrong. The Verizon iPhone 4 suffers the same exact problem the AT&T iPhone 4 does and almost even easier to do on the Verizon one then the AT&T one. Both problems can be easily fixed with a case, almost any but no one knows if Apple will be giving out free cases again to Verizon iPhone 4 owners anytime soon or if ever. Lets hope the next iPhone doesn't have this problem.

AT&T Allowing Mobile Hotspot for iOS 4.3 Users

 

The Verizon iPhone has one amazing distinguishing feature over the AT&T iPhone and that is the 5 person Mobile HotSpot. Any WiFi capable device will be able to connect to the iPhone and share the data connection. AT&T has not said any word on whether or not they will be allowing this feature, but in iOS 4.3 beta this feature just works. Users have been reporting it works directly with their current tethering plan, and the fee's for the AT&T mobile hotspot on other phones are exactly like the AT&T iPhone tethering plan. Hopefully this will be accessible on the AT&T network when iOS 4.3 is released.

Clear Glass Back Cover For iPhone 4 Now Available

A few week ago I posted about an iPhone 4 modded with clear back and front glass covers but the problem was you had to use a paint thinner or some other way to scrub off the original black paint off of your iPhone 4's original part. That isn't something you would want to do surely. A company called Sw-Box now sells these clear back glass covers for the iPhone 4 for $18.75 a piece. That's not a bad price at all. Sw-Box claims their clear back glass covers for the iPhone 4 have metal mounting tabs just like the original iPhone 4 glass cover to screw in the bottom two screws and should perfectly fit your iPhone 4. And I thought these will show up on eBay first.

iOS 4.2 Released

After a long wait, apple has finallly released iOS 4.2 for the iPad. Around 5 months  since iOS4 was released for the iPhone. Anyway it is here now and it brings much needed multi-tasking, folders and AirPrint. The update also brings AirPlay, which lets you stream content on your iOS 4.2 device to an new Apple TV or an AirPlay compatible speaker and the Find My iPhone service is now free for all current generation hardware. 

It's not all good news with this update though. As Apple has changed the switch above the volume rocker from a rotation lock to a mute button. I liked that button, please change it back Apple? Please?

You can update to iOS 4.2 through iTunes right now and see the devices available for upgrade below.
