No Availability of iPhone4!  WTH?!

I finally was able to buy out of my contract for a reasonable fee so I can get an iPhone4 but there are none available in Alberta, Canada! The stores get one or two trickling in every few days. Some stores/dealers will put you on a waiting list; some won't. But even if you're on a waiting list, they'll only hold it for an hour. I got a call last Friday morning while at work that the store had received 2 iPhones and could hold it til noon only. Well I'm an hour drive from there and also can't just up and leave work. This is getting very frustrating. Is this availability a problem elsewhere?
I don't want to order from Apple b/c I want the extended warranty from Future Shop/Best Buy as they have better coverage.
What's with Apple hyping the new iPhone4 and then not having them available? As Christmas approaches, I worry that I'll never get one with my distance from the stores and the competition. Thanks Apple.

Finally got my iPhone! And boy do I love it! A sales associate from Best Buy held the phone for me til 5pm. - bless him! - and I was able to get into the city and pick it up last week. They had just gotten 2 in that day.
They're still hard to come by but I'm so thankful he chose to call me that day.

  • Why is siri and panorama only available for iphone4S and later?

    How come Apple made the Siri and panorama only available for iPhones 4S and later? Doesn't it make more sense to include the iPhone 4 too because a lot of people got it too (more than the 4S I think).

    If you want to see the differences between the iPhone 4 and the 4S and later, take a look at this http://www.apple.com/iphone/compare-iphones/
    There are just some things that older model iPhones can't do that newer models can. Apple makes the decisions to improvce upon their devices so that customers can choose which device they want according to their needs. If you want a phone that does something your current one doesn't, look into the Apple Recycling Program to trade in your iPhone for a gift card that you can use to purchase a newer model phone

  • What coverage is available to iPhone4 users?

    I know nothing about Apple's iPhone, but I'm disgusted with both Verizon and ATT.  Is the iPhone a way out?

    No idea what you are asking.
    Iphone will work on AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile ( which AT&T is buying) and the 3G network will not work with T-Mobile on the iphone.
    What are you asking?
    Unless you bought a unlocked iphone directly from Apple ( only available in the past several weeks), then it cannot be used with any other carrier anyway as it is locked to AT&T or Verizon.

  • Can I use air play to mirror anything that's on the screen of my iPad

    I have the nfl gamerewind app on my iPad. I'd like to use air play to mirror the games from my iPad to my TV screen.  Is this possible?
    Or, is it possible to mirror the screen of my Windows 7 laptop to my TV using Apple TV?
    Thanks for any help, I am very new to this, have never used Apple TV before.

    There are 2 kinds of Airplay - one which 'mirrors the display' on AppleTV (in iPAd 4:3 aspect ratio).  Mirroring is only available on iPhone4S and later and iPad 2 and later and certain newer Macs.  Mirroring is processor intensive as it compresses each display frame and sends the video to AppleTV as well as having to do what an app is doing.
    The other kind of Airplay available on some older devices essentially sends a pre-rendered compatible file to AppleTV to play rather than a mirror of the screen.
    Note - content providers can and do block certain things from working with Airpolay so check if it's a particular app, game or website you want to airplay.
    You might want to check out Airparrot which might be able to mirror your Windows laptop to AppleTV.

  • I bought iphone just 10 days back and I update OS 4.3.3 as apple said, after that I am facing a battery drain problem and also it turn off automatically while I was talking on phone with friends and family. I  noticed 6 times. look like apple phone *****

    I just bought apple i phone 4 10 days back from AT &T Retail outlet, then I set up account on itune and i saw to update the software version and i did it to 4.3.3, after that I am facing  two problem 1) Battery is draining like water and 2) while I was talking on phone with family and friends It turn off automatically, Initially I thought I might made some mistake but afterward I noticed that It happen again and again without I touch anything on screen or at phone. I guess Apple suppose to do something and help the customers, anyway but I am still under 30 days warranty period I am going to return it back and I guess may be there are lot of other options available comparing iphone4. but Lets wait what kind of solutions apple bring to me.

    Do you have a question or are you just here to rant?
    No matter what the product, there will always be some off the line that are defective. It's a fact of life.
    The phone has a 1 year Warranty, not 30 days. I'm sure they'll be happy to replace it for you.
    Now, that said, have you bothered to sync the phone to make sure you don't have to come back whining because you got your phone replaced and now you can't find your stuff?

  • IPad2 or MacBook or The new iPad

    "Is it possible to use MainStage with iPad2, or do I need a MacBook for instance???  What about The new iPad???

    O.K.
    I found the answer calling Apple España. 
    GarageBand is an Apple application for Mac, but there's one version (lighter) available for iPhone4 and iPad.
    MainStage is another's developer application, so no one knows if it will be a version available for iPad or iPhone.
    Anyway I think that a lighter version will be not powerful than the original one.  So it is better to use it with a Mac instead.
    Thanks to both of you again for your answers anyway.

  • My iPad and iPhone4s both state "NOT ENOUGH STORAGE" and can't backup due to not enough iCloud storage available in the cloud.  I have sync my phone but I still get the msg - I will sync the iPad as well - both devices receive my mail as well as Acer pc.?

    My iPad and iPhone4s both state "NOT ENOUGH STORAGE" and can't backup due to not enough iCloud storage available in the cloud.
      I have sync my phone to my pc using itunes, but I still get the msg on the phone - could it be that the ipad and phone both receive the same mail?  I did go into Settings - icloud - and shut off Mail on phone - I will sync the iPad as well - both devices receive my mail as well as Acer pc.?  thank you -

    Not having enough storage in your iCloud account isn't caused by using your iCloud email account on your device.  It may be caused by having lots of email in your account though.
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to see what is taking up the space in your account.
