Best Buy and Apple - *Will carry WHITE iPhone 4 on launch*

I am guessing that no one actually knows when they will start getting/selling white iphones
 
My rep said it was a glitch in the system and they are working on fixing it; he will let me know when the white iphone becomes available on premier.... but I already ordered a black one.

Confirmed for Best Buy as well. I went into best buy mobile and they guaranteed my fiance and I that she will get the white iPhone 4 on launch date for the iPhone 4. I know she knows what she was talking about because she is the headhonco of the store...So go and get the white one from Best Buy, Apple must be losing alot of customers becuase they arent selling the white ones.

If the white iPhone 4 is not going to be available through Apple's primary retail outlets (online, etc.) as well as AT&T, I think it's a safe bet that Best Buy won't either. I highly doubt that Apple would ship white units to a third-party retailers before having it available to themselves or AT&T first. As disappointing as it may be, a store manager for a single Best Buy is not going to have knowledge above what Apple has said. Unless it was a a regional or higher up Apple representative I wouldn't trust a Best Buy employee regardless of their position and get my hopes up. The matter is reps for wireless providers in almost all launch countries have confirmed there will be no white iPhone's available on launch date. The fact Apple didn't even make mention of this yesterday or today leads to me to believe this is an issue that will extent into the later half of the summer.
 
I would remain skeptical. Low level store clerks rarely know anything until it hits the floor. Half the time they don't even know what they have in stock on the floor.
 
We could all argue back and forth about the availability of the white iPhone 4. Fact is, we haven't a clue when it will be available. Whether that means the 24th or in December, there's conflicting information and still no official word.

No one knows.

No one knows!!! I'm sure there will be a lot of "I heard this or I heard that..." but until there is word from Apple...no one knows!
 
This OP reinforces the fact that just because you write something in bold, does not mean it is true
 
I was the first one to reserve a white iPhone this morning at my local Best Buy. I looked the salesperson dead in the eye an asked them "are you sure you're getting the white iPhone's on the 24th" and they replied "yes". 4 hours later I get a call saying that they will not be getting any white iPhone on launch. :mad::mad::mad:

Does anyone know for sure what the status is for white iPhones at release?
 
this is where apples hush hush policy really pisses me off. yeah its good to keep us in the dark on new products until their available for purchase. but now you promised white iphones something happened and their not available. ok fine. RELEASE A STATEMENT. Production mishaps happen no biggie but dont leave people guessing or even worse interrogating store clerks that have NO IDEA and instead of saying they have NO IDEA they just MAKE STUFF UP. to the point it becomes a mess of inconsistent information.

You can't trust a word a salesman says anyway...half the time some of those people have no clue what they are talking about anyway.

Your sales person obviously did not read his memo on iphone preorders it clearly said that there was no guarantee for the 24th and to set proper expectations. Very sorry that this guy couldn't read, but as of now it is unlikely that Best Buy stores will receive very many (if any) white iphone 4s

Went to best buy got confirmed there gonna have White iphones also got called 2 hours saying there not carrying them on launch and it might be 1-3 weeks till they have them.
 
Unless they're going to release the white Iphone as a 64GB version only. :eek: Make the world go crazy for any iPhone, then give only one option first, then later release the best seller. Maybe?? This is just speculation.

Get 'em feening, then hook em for life with that white raw. LoL
 
We will not know anything about the White iPhone until Apple themselves make an annoucement! If they are not having it at launch, niether is anybody else!!! Don't believe what Best Buy or any other retail store is saying, until you hear it from Apple... I will have to wait for the White Phone... :mad:
