With a new release from Apple come the typical ‘aftershocks‘ of THE Apple gadget. So let’s see what we can expect.
#1 – A Jailbreak the First Day
Yes, it’s like the guys who do the jailbreaks prepare with coffee mugs and virtual camp outs just to be the ones that say they “jailbroke” the newest Apple device first. It’s amazing, admittedly it’s talent, but it’s totally predictable and I think you can expect a jailbroken version of the iPhone 4G at max two days after it’s released on the rumored date of June 18th.
We can only wait and see though.
#2 – iPhone 4G Giveaways
Lucky enough for those that don’t find the need to rush out and camp out with your camp chairs and coffee mugs there will be TONS of contests and giveaways from companies and blogs of all sorts to get you at least a bit closer than any of those waiting in line.
#3 – That One COOL App
It’s always one developer that locks himself and his team in a room, orders pizza or eats nothing at all and creates a piece of MAGIC for all of us to slobber over for days after the release of the new gadget. The latest example of this was Alice for the iPad. I’m super excited to see what exactly will the developers take advantage of with the iPhone 4G.
#4 – Overpriced eBay iPhones for Sale
For the horribly impatient, there is always the eBay option if you couldn’t make it to camp out like the others. Simply be willing to pay about $200 to sometimes $600 more than the retail price of the iPhone and it’s yours!
#5 – Hundreds of UnBoxing Videos
Big tech blogs and YouTubers everywhere will want to share the Christmas morning like excitement with everyone through the blessing of unboxing videos. I watch them, but after the first one it’s pointless. Luckily this NEVER takes the excitement out of opening your very own contribution to consumerism.
#6 – Tons of Opinions
Oh yea, there will be NO shortage of opinions from the day of WWDC to months after the official release date, don’t you guys worry. Fortunately with opinions everyone is RIGHT!
#7 – Twitter Trending Topic
Every one loves to Twitter about THE LATEST THINGS, so what makes the iPhone 4G release any different. I ‘predict’ a Twitter trend on the day of and two days after the WWDC announcement AND the day of and one week after the actual iPhone 4G release.
#8 – Lines
Yes, you can expect lines. There were lines for the Palm Pre release so why wouldn’t there be lines for the Apple iPhone 4G release. I just won’t even attempt to assume how long the lines would be 
#9 – Analysts Forecasts
The wonderful and not helpful whatsoever “ANALYSTS FORECASTS” that will let all of the other “uninformed” know exactly what the iPhone 4G’s success will be in the future, because they are professionals and they know. It will be ‘nice’ to hear predictions on how well the iPhone 4G will do, but quite frankly we won’t know until it’s over.
#10 – “I Told You So”
Yes, tons of analysts and bloggers will spend their Monday afternoons and Tuesday blogging on how right they were on basically totally confirmed “rumors” by Jobs himself or things that have been so leaked that it was a given a few weeks ago.
