Where is the white iPhone 4?

Good question. When I heard it was delayed I just got my GF a black one instead. I know there were some opacity issues with the glass, but they are probably adding in some antenna fix as well is the rumor.
 
yeah i heard "silent recall"

i just want the white one and i am tired of waiting.
 
They probably delayed it for the antenna fix. I read somewhere that says Sept 30th is when they're shipping the new revisions with the fix. My guess is that's when you'll see the white ones turn up.
 
cool i hope so. they should have announced something today during their event
 
From what I read a few weeks back: If the paint is on too thick, it looks yellowed, if it's put on to the point the phone looks white, it's almost translucent.
 
apparently September 30th might be the date.

http://www.dailytech.com/Report+New...tember+30+With+Fixed+Antenna/article19517.htm

"According to his press release [translated], Apple will deliver a major off-cycle hardware revision that will fix the antenna issues and improve reception. The press releases pins September 30, 2010 as the ship date for the new hardware."

if this is true what nerve apple has to basically tell everyone to fuck off about the antenna and issue free cases with a major press release saying this issue is present in most smart phones and their new iPhone 4 has less dropped calls than 3GS and then silently try and sneak out new hardware revision. what about all the others who bought early and don't want to have to use a case?
 
Wait What? I am confused. Are you trying to say that the white iPhone 4 in white is a knock off or some chinese third party took a real on and changed the glass? I dont get it. and OP dont wait, I didnt. Its not worth the wait, get the black one and enjoy already.

just buy a white case for it.

Lol, I've been trying to bite my tongue to keep from saying something similar.

You're already special enough for having an iPhone! Is a white one going to make you feel that much more special..?

It's waiting for Verizon.

Dear god, don't say that. I really don't want 50+% AT&Ts customers coming to Verizon causing their network to go to shit and jack up prices even more :(.

/troll :D

I believe it is a bot. The "link signature" and fact that the user just signed up is always the easy way to tell.

I'm on AT&T so I can't wait! Hopefully there's a mass exodus. Verizon's network will get bogged down and AT&T's will clear up a bit. :D
 
They are sitting in large shipping containers waiting to be released just before Christmas.

Apple ain't dumb. (plus they all have the more GBs):eek:

They're already the most expensive, it's almost as if they're trying to shoot themselves in the foot. Thankfully I'm seeing a major exodus of Verizon users coming to my store to switch.

That's good (for me) :D. I hope Verizon does lose a lot of customers so they might drop prices and less users to eat bandwidth, hah (unlikely though and I'll bet just as many people you see come into your store are switching to VZW too so it cancels out). But I have no plans on switching to any other carrier. VZW is the most expensive, but it's nothing I can't afford. I also believe that you get what you pay for and cell carriers are no exception from what I've seen. I can't remember the last time I've had a dropped call and I very rarely drop out of 3G on road trips across the east coast, which is nice so I can constantly stream Pandora/Slacker radio in my car without it ever skipping. Other than higher prices, I have no complaints about VZW whatsoever.
 
white WILL make it more special. and i don't use cases. invisishield and thats it
 
white does make it more special for apple aficionados

i think the confusion is that many people assume all apple customers care what others think about their tech toys whereas the people i know appreciate them for their personal satisfaction

this. If I am paying hundreds for a phone the phone better damn work the way I want it to and put a smile on my face when I use it or make my life easier in some way. iPhone works well, is powerful and yet simple. That and I love white, makes it look cleaner.
 
some the of the windows phone 7 sets are starting to look really cool. might be iphone less soon for the first time in a long time.

You're actually paying thousands for that phone because of your contract. No one's going to say the iPhone doesn't work well, but Android is even better. Especially if you like customization, more free apps and a wide range of choices. Simple doesn't have to mean cutting out features. You honestly believe the previous versions of iOS were not powerful enough for you to have a wallpaper?

Android lets you make the phone work the way you want it to letting you change almost everything about the UI. iOS is very rigid and doesn't give you choices. Your reason for wanting an iPhone is quite contrary to the facts.

LOL @ saying android has more or better apps.

Let me know when I can play Civ on android. Hell, I may even settle for peggle or puzzle quest.

Android actually does have quite a few good games these days. Not as many as the iPhone, but then again, the iPhone has so many now that you'll never even hear of 95% of them.

As an Android phone and former iPod Touch user, I definitely think iPhones are better if you want something simple yet powerful that just works. If you like tweaking, tinkering, and customizing though, you'll probably enjoy Android phones more.
 
I'd agree with the statement above. I'll probably go the way of the cursed iPhone as recently married and a nice corporate discount will likely drive me to switch. While I like the Galaxy S hardware I just don't feel all that confident in Samsung's ability to provide long term and timely updates.

Still interested in a white iPhone? Well, it now looks like spring 2011 is the earliest:

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE69P59W20101026

I may not know everything but I do know this: there's no way in Hell that just creating a white version of the same phone would take this long. Apple has to be basically recreating the iPhone 4 with a new (hopefully not broken and actually viable) antenna design in the mix as well.

As this rate they should just cancel the white version and wait till the iPhone 4 v2 comes out next summer or just consider it a wash and wait on the iPhone 5 or whatever they choose to call it. This is a bit ridiculous.

Lol, got my iPhone already. I am waiting on the iPhone for Verizon. Just got a Droid X, love the network but hate the phone. Already replaced once and I had it for less than 1 day when I had to replace it. So much trouble using android. Have to give an arm and a leg to Root, find roms, and install them.
 
So basically the iPhone 5 is going to be the same as 4, except it wont have a DeathGrip problem or shatter-happy glass back that comes in white?
 
Well, maybe Apple is redoing that composite plastic/glass material one more time so they can proudly claim "it's now 100x stronger than plastic" like that actually means anything at all. I still don't get the hoopla over that statement "30x stronger than plastic," I really don't since it just doesn't seem to help in the long run considering just how easy it is to shatter the damned things.

I saw a guy last week with a Dell Streak - with real Corning Gorilla Glass on it - and he dropped it on pavement and it hit the ground on the edge of the device and it just bounced twice, then he picked it up, no harm no foul except a tiny scuff mark where it actually made impact with the pavement. That was from a standing position so figure about 4 feet off the pavement.

Do that with an iPhone 4, even inside a full body case of any kind and I just can't see it continuing to function in that same way, with non-shattered glass. I'm still waiting to see someone with an iPhone 4 do this and video tape it:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/dell-streaks-gorilla-glass-screen-torture-tested-for-your-amus/

That video just trips me out every time I go back and watch it, absolutely amazing.

With normal apps I find the App store and the Market to be about even. They both have a handful of useful apps and shitloads of worthless ones.

Games on the Market are getting better, for example Angry Birds and Zenonia, but still subpar compared to App store. I still pull out my iPhone 3G turned iPod-that-will-never-sync-again-because-iTunes-blows for Peggle and Wolfenstein. :D The market does have a huge bonus in free NES/SNES/GBA/Sega emulators though.

I honestly don't see a mass exodus immediately from AT&T if iPhone really does come to Verizon. Many of those people won't be willing to eat the ETF especially since their current iPhone won't work on Verizon's network. You may see a small number jump ship to move off a non-smartphone to an iPhone though.

I also believe that Verizon's infrastructure can handle it unlike AT&T. Like T4rd said earlier I haven't seen speed issues or dropped calls since I kicked AT&T to the curb. My work BB Bold 9700 is AT&T based and it sucks shit due to AT&T's network.
Everybody wants to blame AT&T's network woes on iPhone yet they forget AT&T was craptastic before iPhone came around.
 
From what I read a few weeks back: If the paint is on too thick, it looks yellowed, if it's put on to the point the phone looks white, it's almost translucent.

It seems most of Apple's white colored stuff turns yellow after a short time. Their mice, keyboards, etc. all seem to. It just gets dirty too easily from contact with human skin. Besides disliking the color white to a large degree, it's just another reason why I wouldn't like a white iPhone 4.
 
looks like at&t will have it by the end of the month. been spotted in numerous places and i have seen a picture of a best buy tag for one. ive been holding out, looks like it just might pay off.

my 3GS is hurting, headphone jack barely works and the battery is getting worse.

Why not hold out for 4 more months, and get the iPhone 5? Im sure there will be white iphone 5's by then.
