something about the lawsuit against ATT/Apple should be in the article. The lawsuit in california... Apple iPhone lawsuit —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.253.128.163 ( talk) 02:24, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Reuters has reported the iPhone as emerging as a game platform. ( [1]). Should this article perhaps be given a WP:VG notice? I'll add one sometime within the next few days if there is no response. -- haha169 ( talk) 23:02, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
(Remove indent) The project's scope is very wide indeed and the iPhone is a gaming platform, so I'd just tag and move onto the next thing. Every time I turn on the television there's an iPhone advert exclusively showing video games, it's hardly something they're downplaying. Someone another 11:23, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
I think this article receives plenty enough attention without a tangentially related project banner. The article isn't gaming-centric enough to target WPVG specifically. You could start with more general computing projects. I think there is one for Apple, which would be a better fit. Ham Pastrami ( talk) 00:02, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
now I'm not a grammar expert but I believe that trademarked product names can be considered proper nouns.

How come there isn't a large section at the top of the article about the FACT that the phone's software update-and-refresh relocking program violates international laws, regulations, and treaties? Especially considering how many users may read this article before purchasing an iPhone, it should include notice that the purchase of the phone enslaves you to illegal and/or illicit regulations that violate the buyers rights and freedoms in the vast majority of the world, including the EU and United States. How about the fact that using the phone in such an illicitly locked fashion while on holiday in another country may be cause for criminal precedings against the user for violating that countries consumer protection laws?

Hi, I noticed that most of the technical specifications in the article are repeated in the infobox. After merging in what wasn't already there, I'd like to propose deleting this clunky and redundant section.

Looks like the University of Missouri is going to require students to get iPhones next semester. Is this worth mentioning?-- Kross Talk 23:52, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Once again, I'm putting this article at the mercy of the GA reviewers. I think that it has substantially improved since the last nomination (clearer language, more citations, better organization) and warrants the GA distinction. There are still a few minor things to be done, but considering that it takes 2-4 weeks to begin a review, I wanted to get our foot in the door. Does anyone see anything that needs to be done during that grace period? (Because, as I learned the hard way, it's very difficult to make changes during the review.)-- HereToHelp ( talk to me) 00:18, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
The article says that some newer models of headphones have volume control. The only headphones that I have found with volume control have this feature UNAVAILABLE for the iPhone. I think none exist yet with volume control for iPhone, but I don't have the ability to edit the article yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidme123 ( talk • contribs) 19:07, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
"Holding a finger over a section of text brings up a magnifying glass, allowing users to place the cursor in the middle of existing text."
Does this mean you don't have to actually touch the screen? If so, this should be added to the Input section. If not, rewording is necessary. ✍ ( talk) 18:47, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Just a quick heads-up that the map needs updating. Bulgaria can now be coloured, and Malaysia and Indonesia need to be changed green-->blue, per [7]. I would do it myself, but unfortunately I only know how to do PNGs not SVGs. Thanks, Bernerd ( talk) 01:43, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
"The back of the original iPhone was made of aluminum with a black plastic accent. The iPhone 3G features a full plastic back to increase GSM signal strength.[39] The plastic is black for the 8 GB model, but the 16 GB version is also available in white."
Hi. I just wanted to provide some input but wasn't sure where to direct it to. I apologize if this isn't the place for it.
I have an iPhone 3G and I discovered there are two cracks on it - one at the mute button and the other at the earphone jack. I Wiki-ed this and as you guys would know, there aren't any info on this (as written above).
I later Googled this and found several forum discussions and reports that cracks on iPhones are common.
So, my input is basically, shouldn't this info be provided on Wikipedia? Thanks. - Axtlan78 ( Axtlan78 ( talk) 17:46, 20 May 2009 (UTC))
On the iPhone 3G Ss, the back of the 16GB and 32GB phones are availabel in black and white. Please update the last sentacne to reflect this change (iPhone 3Gs had black only for 8GB and Black and White for 16GBs) Solarguy17 ( talk) 13:50, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
I am almost 100% sure the iphone 3g has a 1150mAh battery as opposed to the 1400mah mentioned in the specs list?
Does anyone else agree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.116.126 ( talk) 03:41, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
under 3.4 it says:
The iPhone 3G has a maximum download rate of 1.4 Mbps in the United States.[94]
First the source for [94] is indirect, it's a blog of a article on macnn that doesn't even exist anymore. Also, the source has corrected the blog saying that it is only an observed limit.
While what's in there now may be true, perhaps it should be changed to reference the press release from at&t or some other primary document.

This page should redirect to the iPhone article, as the iPhone 3G article does. Expand the iPhone article to include information on the iPhone 3G S. 72.192.22.3 ( talk) 19:28, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Let's continue this merge discussion over at User:Scottcampb/Merging:iPhone_3G_S -- Scott ( talk) 19:52, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Merge Almost all coverage will be duplicate, such as the interface, history, sales, and some of the hardware. Keeping everything together allows us to highlight the (few) differences instead of them getting lost in identical details. Scott has a point, though. In the short term (say, until the keynote is posted), we should keep it here.-- HereToHelp ( talk to me) 20:08, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Merge per much of above. 3G already redirects to iPhone, there's no reason this shouldn't - there's no significant difference between the first generation iPhone and the 3GS. Bsimmons666 ( talk) 21:24, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Keep it separate while this is current. People will be rapidly searching for just the iphone3GS and do not want to search through the whole iphone page to find the information. MegaZega93 ( talk) 20:24, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
This should be separate for the time being. There should be a link over on the iPhone page to redirect users to the separate one, especially if a major overhaul of the main iphone page is planned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.127.253.85 ( talk) 21:24, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Keep it like it is now at least for another month. People want info on this and they will have hard time finding it. 208.111.228.185 ( talk) 22:40, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Merge. If there is an issue with users searching for iPhone 3G S, create a redirect. Problem solved. Brianreading ( talk) 03:27, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Merge. If people are worried about lazy people getting annoyed with having to actually read things instead of being spoon-fed everything they want, use #REDIRECT[[iPhone#iPhone_3GS]] -- Veratien ( talk) 09:03, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Don't Merge! There is a significant difference between the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3G S. When the iPhone 3G came out the iPhone was discontinued and thus it became the new iPhone, replacing the previous generation. However, Apple Inc. has announced that they still will be manufacturing iPhone 3G (8gb), thus this is not an iPhone which replaces the previous generation and so deserves a page of its own. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.78.84.236 ( talk) 09:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Added globalise tag as only geographically-static and US-specific information is given, with no explanation or discussion of the iPhone 3G S outside of the USA. Ged3000 ( talk) 00:03, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Only US info is verifiable at this point I believe. Rogers and Fido reps are stating it will be launched in Canada on June 19th as well but no official announcement has been made as far as I can find except that Fido will be getting it at some point (fido.ca - new iphone coming soon). 156.34.209.156 ( talk) 07:03, 9 June 2009 (UTC)S
For the caption on the first picture of the default home screen on the iPhone with the caption "The default Home screen of the iPhone shows most of the applications provided by Apple. Users can download additional applications from the App store, create Web Clips, and rearrange the icons."
Shouldn't the caption be
The default Home screen of the iPhone 3GS shows most of the applications provided by Apple. Users can download additional applications from the App store, create Web Clips, and rearrange the icons.
If you look through the icons you will see the "Compass" icon and the original iPhone didn't have the Compass feature.
