SloPro unlocks the true potential of the video camera in the iPhone 4S, allowing it to shoot 60 frames per second and create stunning slow motion footage.
iPhone developer Steven Troughton-Smith managed to port Siri to iPhone 4 as shown in the above video, but Apple is not currently authenticating Siri commands from iPhone 4. This means that you can certainly install Siri on your iPhone 4 but the digital personal assistant will not respond to your inquiries.
Six months on from its initial release, Apple’s iPhone 4 remains one of the most popular choices for smartphone users anywhere, and the wealth of local contract deals can make for confusing comparison shopping. This week Planhacker rounds up every iPhone 4 contract plan for Australia in one handy listing.

But with this custom-made getup, you won’t think about dropping your iPhone every time you hold it up.
This likely has been in place for a while, but reader Robert points out that Apple’s free bumper program for users fearing iPhone 4 reception problems is now officially on the Apple Australia web site. Customers who have purchased an iPhone 4 can apply for a free bumper via a downloaded application, which they need to do by September 30.
Having noted earlier that Apple still wasn’t selling the iPhone 4 on its site as launch day began, we’ll duly report that it is now being offered online at the expected price ($859 for 16GB, $999 for 32GB). While Apple is the obvious option for a carrier-free purchase, its delivery window — 3 weeks — ties in with reported supply shortages at most physical locations. [Apple Store]
After months of speculation, the iPhone 4 went on sale this morning, with Optus, Telstra and Vodafone/3 stores around the country holding midnight openings to mark the event. Nick over at Gizmodo has accounts from the Sydney launches, and Gizmodo readers are sharing their own pictures. If you haven’t picked up a phone but are planning to do so today, check out our Planhacker guide to pick the best deals. Get in early — there’s suggestions that stocks for launch are pretty limited, and Apple still isn’t listing the iPhone 4 on its online store for ordering.
We’ve now uploaded the Planhacker table of iPhone 4 plans in PDF form for easier reading and printing (chaos at Lifehacker HQ prevented this earlier; our apologies). The PDF version is also available in the full guide.

Since we ran the first version of this guide, Virgin Mobile has released its plans and Telstra has increased its data limits. We’re on the case with an updated version of our comprehensive Planhacker guide, listing every iPhone 4 contract plan in one handy table.
Apple promised every iPhone 4 customer a free case to deal with any potential reception issues, but as the Australian rollout this Friday draws closer, the mechanics of that process still aren’t clear — unless you happen to be an Optus customer.
