If you're one of the lucky people who managed to unpack an iPhone 4 today, either through preordering or queuing outside a store somewhere in the world, then you're going to want to know where to start with your shiny new phone.
Well you're in luck. AppAdvice is here to help. Read on through our Where To Start guide for iPhone 4, and discover everything you need to know about your new phone right now.
Really getting to know your phone.
Regardless of whether you've been playing around with your iPhone 4 for a matter of hours or for days, you won't know what the iPhone's like on the inside - unless you've taken it apart. Thankfully, iFixit has, so you don't have to. Checkout its dissection of the iPhone 4 now, and discover some of the secrets Apple kept to itself about its new superphone.
App-tastic!
You don't need me to tell you that apps make the iPhone-world go round. iPhone 4 comes with iOS 4, and obviously the ability to multitask. However, developers must first update their applications if they want them to multitask in any way. Check out our list of Apps That Multitask now, and make sure your favorites have already been added to the list!
iMovie - point, shoot, edit.
iMovie for iPhone 4 is definitely something worth getting excited about. The app, which was released today and is priced at $4.99, allows users to edit HD video captured on their iPhone 4. Check out our article on the iMovie app for more information.
Things to watch out for...
There are a couple of things new iPhone 4 owners should look out for. The first is defective screens - a plague that has afflicted a large number of iPhones. If your handset has a "yellow blob" lurking in one of the corners of your screen, head to a Genius Bar and get it replaced.
The second thing worth bearing in mind is scratches. Although the iPhone 4's super-durable glass is tough, it's not entirely scratch-resistant. And accidents can happen.
Don't forget that the team here at AppAdvice are constantly posting App Reviews, App Lists, and App Guides that cater towards all your app needs! And with the iPhone 4 now officially released, there's never been a better time to sink your teeth into them.

All in all, you don't need us to tell you that playing with the iPhone 4 is going to be an absolute treat. So if you've managed to get hold of one, have fun! And let us know if we've missed anything out in the comments box below.
