A little known fruit-flavoured company showed off their latest phone this week at WWDC, so we thought it would only be right to dissect the details and discuss the pros and cons of the iPhone 4. iOS4 will be landing as a free update for those iPhone 3G, 3GS and iPod touch wielders, so do you really need to fork out for the new shiny-shiny when your 3GS will basically do it all? We've also got bad news regarding price plans for the heralded 4th coming of the Jesus Phone in the UK, as it looks like they're both going to be expensive and restrictive. Finally Apple saw fit to bestow the iPhone 4 with a 3-axis gyro just like the Wii Motion Plus, effectively resulting in 6-axis motion sensing. With E3 due to start this coming week, does this make a positive forward step for Apple further into the gaming market? We'll have all the 'motion nonsense' and 3D tomfoolery that will be E3 next week, but till then we've got something a little bit special right at the end of the podcast so make sure you listen past the outro.
