IPhone 4 Available for Pre-Order

Along with the brand new Mac Mini, Apple has made another, less surprising change to the Apple Store. You can now pre-order the iPhone 4 for delivery or in-store pick-up on June 24th, Stores will open at 7AM, presumably to let people build up big queues and sleep outside the stores on Thursday night, but still get to work on time the next morning. Curiously, the white iPhone 4 doesn’t appear to be available at launch.
For those of us outside the first-tier countries that get the new hardware on launch day, take comfort in the fact that we can download the iOS 4 update on June 21st (next Monday) and get many of the new features free. Sure, we won’t be able to run iMovie, or get some Face Time with other iPhone 4 owners, nor even experience the magical, revolutionary new rubber technology of iPhone Bumpers, but we will get multitasking, folders, iBooks and, erm, spell-checking. Rejoice.
