Yes, I Can Hear You Now

Apparently pigs have learned to fly. Today I touched and used a Verizon iPhone for the first time. Dare I say – it was my first experience with any sort of iPhone 4, as I know nobody in these parts who has one [i own an iPhone 3GS]. Theresa’s pre-order for her Verizon iPhone 4 came to the shop today, so I just had to visit it…I mean, her.

So as she serviced clients, I *cough* tested *cough* the phone out, taking this image with my iPhone 3GS. Why is there a weird blue bar at the bottom of the image? Because I got sloppy in post-processing. This image had to be white balance-color corrected in post. But the screen of the iPhone was perfectly balanced. I needed to turn the sheet of hair color samples from being orange to something more closely resembling white. So I created a mask for the iPhone screen and inversed the selection, changing the white balance for the rest of the image. But I cropped the bottom of the screen poorly, so it got color corrected.

Anyway, yes, we are at level 6 with this iPhone 4. It actually *works*. I mean, you get a signal! And it is 3G. My AT&T iPhone stays on Edge most of the when I travel into town. At home, I’m stuck at “No Service”.
