glad i dont pick mine up until tomorrow from bestbuy, thus returning it 29 days later hopefully the white will be out by then :)
 
I've got to say, I flat out refused to buy an ipod till they offered them in black, wouldn't buy a macbook till the Blackbook.. and didn't buy my imac till they went aluminum.

The white always has, and always will look like a cheap toy for kids, not a professional tool.

I miss the old apple that wouldn't explain anything. Steve's gone soft.
 
That's honestly sooner than I was expecting.

The fact that they hadn't said anything until now was making me think it was gonna be September or something like that!
 
They did such a nice job on this white model that I almost think I prefer it. It would seem that the actual white skin is all protected by glass so there is not much chance of scratching it up or getting it dirty.
 
Thank you, Apple, for FINALLY saying something. That's not too bad of a wait. Now, when can we order one from apple.com?
 
The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.

Of course the black one is more popular, it's the only one people can order. :rolleyes:
 
Will the White iPhone 4 only be available in 32gb? I personally only want to spend $199 and will just order the black one today if there isn't a white 16gb option.
 
Lessie - black phones are ordered more than white, and we're going to have a run on these phones for the first month globally. I know how to solve this "manufacturing challenge" - don't ship white phones for a month.

Wow - some challenge.

And how would the colour make a difference?
They can still only make the same number of phones, black or white.
Making 100% black, or 50% black / 50% white, or 90% black / 10% white, it is still the same number of phones made and available to sell.
 
I wonder if it changes to an icky yellow/brown colour after a little use like the first generation white MacBooks did?

I wonder what makes it more challenging to manufacture?

Do you know how hard it is to capture and de-horn a live unicorn???
 
I wonder if they will have white phones to play with at the Apple store or Best Buy as demos.

I just want to play with both kinds before I make a decision...

Although, that may be confusing if they have both colors as display models, but only the black ones for purchase.
 
Thank you Apple for finally saying SOMETHING. Sorry all you white lovers. I was thinking about the white one initially, but decided to go with the black. But at least now we know when to expect it. It took them long enough to say something though. :(

Well, if it does, who cares, really? Apple has been pretty good over the years in repairing/replacing hardware.
 
To Swap or Not To Swap

About time.

Well, this at least gives people who haven't received their's the opportunity to return it unopened.

Not sure what I'm going to do. :confused:
 
Well to be honest I was one of those crazy folks hoping for a few of the whites to be available on launch day... However, the fact that they made a statement saying they will be available in the second half of july is actually good news compared to the late august/ september thoughts that were going around. I think I will actually wait for a white one now, knowing itll only be 3-4 weeks away.
 
Would have been nice to know a few weeks ago. Maybe they were trying really hard to have them release day?

Ah well, I'm not mad, but communication is always nice...
