iPhone 4 unboxing

You want your iPhone 4 unboxing gadget pr0n early? Well, thanks to YouTube and a couple premature deliveries, it's here. Now, reportedly Apple's activation servers aren't up and running yet, so unboxing is about all that can be done with iPhone 4 for the moment, but who are we to deny even that simple pleasure?

Video after the break!

UPDATE: More videos below, keep sending them in!

UPDATE 2: Apple's servers do seem to be activating some iPhone 4 but not others. Weird. Let us know if yours does or does not activate.

UPDATE 3: Loopt got one early as well, added below [blog link]

[Thanks @bgkid15 for the tip!]

  13. key says:

    @bmsatierf yea it does but he doesn't look like the strongest guy in the world lol

    The phone looks sweet and it doesn't look fake so I don't know what you guys are talking about

  14. Mitchell says:

    How is this fake? You people are that jealous?

  15. jon says:

    /sarcasm

  16. dannyb says:

    wait no he dsnt have 2 wait 2days he can activate it right away lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. Ellbee says:

    It would suck for him if he had to wait until official launch day to activate it.

  18. Luc Richard says:

    Nice, to bad they didn't include anything new, that would be awesome if it came with the isolation headsets. To bad I got to wait until they come out in Canada.

  19. MrTechCenter says:

    How can this possibly be fake or photoshopped????? Are YOu retarded???

  20. lazerbyte@gmail.com says:

    I'm sure since the SIM is now on the side of the phone you probably don't need an ejector tool.

    I know this week there will be tons of info about the new iphone and the do's and don'ts of of it!!

    I just hope I don't have any problems transferring from my 3G to the new iphone!!

  21. jon says:

    oh ya, sarcasm cant be detected on the internet...

  22. HackNet says:

    who ever calls it a fake is an idiot. My neighbor just got his at 10:30am today. Do you homework before you comment idiots.

  23. Ivoryplum says:

    I don't want to watch this. Will partially ruin it for me when I get mine tomorrow. :)

  24. Ben says:

    Looks, great! I can't wait to get to the Apple store at 5am Thursday morning and get mine.

  25. Fresh1 says:

    @ dannyb .. I believe you are correct ( he can activate it ) .. Heres a link to the vid of the lawyer in San Diego that also got his iphone 4 today .. and in his vid he says that he opened it and activated it already .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNGj9oNWrlw

    Earlier though in this article about it they had said he couldnt activate until tomorrow ... http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2010/06/22/businessinsider-iphone-4-getting-delivered-today-for-some-lucky-people-2010-6.DTL

  26. AnotherBrian says:

    They are joking when saying it's fake. Like no-way dude they're not idiots.

  27. fastlane says:

    I want to see a video with Nigel Tufnel opening his and telling people not to touch it, or even look at it, because it can't be used. Ever.

  28. PropsToBrian says:

    AnotherBrian speaks the truth, some people here need to relax.

  29. Tinman says:

    some people here = mad jealous.. i know i am... we Canadians have to wait until.... undetermined at this point, eh!

  30. Paul says:

    Rofl. Guy has ZERO furniture in his apartment, but he has a $200-300 phone that carries a ~$100 month bill. Only in America

  31. GABRIEL says:

    SOME ONE POST A FACETINME CALL!!!! PLEASE!!!!

  32. GABRIEL says:

    Paul, some people and cultures don't have the need tons of cheap junk furniture. No need to be a bigot. Its a kid happy he got his leading edge piece of technology a few days early and he's sharing his experience wiht the world. YOUR RUDE!

  33. @Azzy223 I almost spit out juice when i read that. NO SIM EJECTION TOOL?! Bahahahaha! I loved how they gave you a paperclip with the 3G. bahahaha

  34. AnglSprtn says:

    I'd assume there's no sim ejection tool because it's micro sim and besides the iPad nothing yet uses them, so why would you be swapping with a different sim than the one that's included?

  35. Fresh1 says:

    @ Gabriel .. I havent seen anyone that received their iphone 4 today post a facetime vid yet .. but here is a pretty good vid from the apple event ( of them making facetime calls ) .. The speaker seems to be pretty good as you can hear the girl on the other iphone pretty good...

  36. Lequang242 says:

    Fake for sure!! I might not be smart, but I'm not an idiot! Fake!!Fake!!Fake!!

  37. Harold J says:

    This is obviously fake!!!!

  38. Bryan says:

    This is not fake morons the reason you think there isn't a sim tray is because he didn't show you the other side of the phone which where the sim tray is located. And they aren't providing sim tray tools with the new iPhones

  39. UntidyGuy says:

    Premature unpackulation

  40. Esteban says:

    Guys, tots photoshopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from having seen so many shops in my life. Also, this map's total bs guys, total bs.

  41. Ben says:

    It's real, check out this post and scroll to the bottom where the guy is doing facetime... its amazing.

    http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/iphone-4-review/

  42. visi says:

    Are you idiots? This is not fake retards.

  43. You Guys Are Dumb says:

    This is completely fake. You can easily tell. This was obviously made in someone's basement. The craftsmanship is so poor. Looks like it was glued together. LOL at all the idiots who believe this.

  44. Dan says:

    Fake fake fake fake faaaaaaaakeeeee!!!!!!!!

  45. Carmen C. says:

    Its fake its a 3gs with a iphone 4 cover on it.

  46. Ari says:

    If you think this is fake than you're the biggest retard on the planet. It's all over the internet that Apple has allowed early shipping. Why do you think these reviews are on major websites?

  47. Hakala says:

    I absolutely love how apple felt bending a paperclip and tossing' it in with a 3G made everyone so happy, but how do we go about ejecting the sim tray now?

  48. Elton says:

    Or po ju qenkeni koqe kari fare. Po eshte iphone 4 mor debila nuk eshte as 3g as 3gs po ju jeni pjerdh nga syte. Kur ta kuptoni qe eshte iphone i vertete nuk do thoni me "Ohh ekrani eshte cope cope" etj etj. Na cate bythen.

  49. Martin says:

    apple wants you to bend your own damn paperclips

  50. charles says:

    can anyone confirm for certain the price of the new phone outside of a contract?

    this says it's $699 is this true?

    http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/10/iphone-4-price-guide/

  51. JPSAL says:

    Well, they had to remove something. But they were a--holes by removing a 0.01$ part from the retail box. Who needs those stickers?

  52. Rob says:

    it is so obviously fake, i mean, look, those corner bevels are not Apple's standard 16 point. Those are well beyond 24 point bevels.

  53. Janzil says:

    U guys are soo dumb... The reason there is no clip is because the iPhone 4 has a micro sim already in it and the iPhone 3G and 3GS has regular simcard which u can swap .. The iPhone 4 will get activated by apple and then u guys sync ... And trust me guyssss those videos are real!!!!!!

  54. Ben says:

    @Charles - Yes, that is true.

  55. Rob says:

    @Janzil: you don't understand what a "troll" is, do you? lol

    besides, the micro-sim can still be swapped out and into an iPad for shiz-and-giggles

  56. Janzil says:

    @rob yes you can ...but prob the 3G network won't work in the iPad ...

  57. Ethan says:

    No sim eject tool is lame...guess I'll keep the one in my 3GS box.

  58. I agree with whatever the he'll Elton said. Nice job.

  59. Nick says:

    Come on Apple how can you still be making people force to Connect up to the computer to use the device. Can't you just have a popup saying login with your itunes account. I would just want to dive on in without having to connect. o.O?!

  60. LOL @ no Sim eject tool

  61. Zen -la says:

    Can't see video, only hear audio, is it HD?

  62. jon says:

    Fedex still says june 24 by 4:30 WTF!!!!!

  63. Seb_or_Sam says:

    For people complaining about the lack of a SIM eject tool, just use a paperclip.. it always works. On any SIM card.
