Apple Announces White iPhone 4 Coming Tomorrow, iPad 2 to 12 New Countries This Week

The good thing about this is that Apple probably has things together now in terms of production so we can be almost certain the iPhone 5 will be released in black and white simultaneously. :rolleyes:

WHEN iPhone 5 comes out (whether its 2 months or a year from now) I'll just simply buy it and replace the white iPhone 4. What's the big deal? So I have to pay full price for the iPhone 5 since I'm under contract. Big deal. I mean its only $800. We aren't talking about a large sum of money here.

Uhm. Nice for you. I know plenty of people who can only dream of being able to purchase an iPhone.

Finally! This thing is gorgeous! After waiting it out for Verizon to get the iPhone I held out even longer for the white iPhone. Finally its here I will be buying this tomorrow no question. To all those who complain "oh what's the point Apple is going to release the iPhone 5 soon".

Well its simple.

Some folks are debating whether to spend their money on gas to get to/from work or buy an iPhone.:rolleyes:
 
Oh great news, I wouldn't have expected for it to launch over here as well on the launch date. My girlfriend will finally get to buy the phone she always wanted.

Here are some reasons someone would by this now:

1. The iPhone 4 is great now, it will be great when the iPhone 5 shows up.
2. If the 5 comes out in September then it will be a 4-5 month wait minimum.
3. The two year clock starts now, meaning that the next upgrade can come sooner.
4. Verizon has already said they are going to be taking away unlimited 3G according to the CFO. Get the phone now and lock it in.

There are good reasons to buy now, there are good reasons to wait.

Can anyone speculate why the seams on the metal band (three on the GSM iPhone, four on the CDMA iPhone) were left black and not made white for the white model?

I can understand the need to change the proximity sensor to that black strip (as opposed to the dotted yellow-white in the original promo photos) to avoid light reflection issues, but those plastics seams being black seems to ruin the consistency of the white model.

So yeah, Apple releases the white ip4 to make additional revenue from people that already own a ip4 black, in a few months apple releases an updated iphone ( still rumored? no confirmation yet? ) whether it be ip4s or ip5 and make more money off of you guys :)

I swear if one more person asks what the "extra slit" is for, I will go blind!

My girlfriend gave up around November and got the black one lol. I dont even have the heart to tell her the news... I'm sure she will find out on her own pretty soon though.
 
I'm going to try to get one tomorrow, but there will undoubtedly be 1) low quantities of product on hand (no matter where you go) and 2) high quantities of people camping out/standing in line waiting to get them. I called my local AT&T store, and they have yet to receive any, so I may be wasting my time anyway...
 
Finally, it's over. All the hype over a different colored iPhone 4, ended.

1. Yes just like the iPhone 3GS, they're still great.
2. True, but we won't know until WWDC. Regardless the September event is usually in the first couple weeks of September, still "summer".
3. No, the upgrade started when the iPhone 4 was first announced, which was last year WWDC.
4. Right

I think there are better reasons to wait, but it depends on the person.
