When I bought my 3G, none of the stores I called had any black ones in stock. So I had to settle on a white model and threw a black case on it.

My how times have changed.
 
Go buy a white iPhone.

I will thank you. Hopefully alot of other people will as well :)

you're just clearly missing the point of what he's saying.

Actually I know exactly why he said it. Because before the assembly line was created you could have different colors, yet in the early 1900's with the assembly line mandating black color on every car for its quicker paint drying time. That quote was also in the early 1900's and now in 2011 it's a little outdated to force everyone into one color product as we've come a alot farther and people want different designs and colors on their products and the iPhone is no different.

Sorry everyone else for having to give that history lesson... back to the thread! :)
 
- If you buy a white iPhone 4 this Feb you will be first in line for the BIG upgrade that is the iPhone 6.
- Don't wait to buy the iPhone "5" aka iPhone 4-s and be stuck in a 2-yr contract with a minor upgrade like the iPhone 3gs owners were when the big upgrade, the iPhone 4, came out the next year ;)

Att allowed people to upgrade from the 3GS to the iPhone 4 after one year so you're wrong here. I bought the iPhone 4 on day one and I'm eligible on 6/19/2011 for an upgrade again
 
Att allowed people to upgrade from the 3GS to the iPhone 4 after one year so you're wrong here.

Hmmm I know that Verizon just got rid of their "new every two" policy in response to the iPhone 4 so that people just can't beg for early upgrade subsidies every year.

Also Att only had a lucky few qualify for early upgrades at least according to the news websites...

"If you're lucky enough to qualify for one of the "early upgrades" that get you out of the usual 18-month AT&T commitment period, then you pay just $199 for 16GB of joy and $299 for the 32GB model.

If your upgrade date is January 1, 2011 or after, early update pricing for the iPhone 4 will be US$399 for the 16GB model or $499 for the 32GB model."

Maybe you were just one of the lucky ones that got the early upgrade at subsidized price even though you were already in a 2-year contract? Or is there a news source that says Att backed off and lets everyone upgrade to the new iPhone every single year for the $199 price?
 
Don't like the thread then move along and thanks for playing :)

*Seinfeld Soup Nazi Voice* NEXT!
Sure, I'll move along. However, please take your own advice. Move along ... to another thread that's exactly the same as the pointless drivel you're posting. If you had bothered to take 3 seconds to browse the forums you would have found dozens of identical threads. Your thread is neither new nor different, and you're simply cluttering up the place.

I tire of having to wade through crap like this in order to find something that's actually interesting.

Thank the lord, thought this day would never come :)

Same here brotha'. I tire of having to wade through crap like yours in this thread in order to find something that's actually interesting ;)

The only time I've seen you be respectful to another member anywhere in this thread is when they somewhat agree with what you say. There's no need to be ignorant to people.

Also, in your original post you guaranteed the white iPhone 4 was coming out in February, however you provided no link to a source.

Don't hold your breath for change. He's already proven himself to be rude and disrespectful, especially when he could have taken three seconds to post his (albeit laughable) opinion in another of the identical threads we have all seen in days/weeks/months/years past.

This thread will be buried soon, along with the other nonsense posts.

Good call. I'd like to see an Apple verified source for this myself.

If you go to post #20 and #31 in this thread you will I was very respectful of people who had a differing opinion. Also look through my post history before trying to label someone thank you :)

It's just that certain people start insulting others and when the person responds they can't take the heat and cry? Oh well...

What If their isn't an iphone 6? I mean how many more features can apple really add? nothing i can think of except better camera, better screen resolution and fairly small things like that they I don't think they should have a whole new phone with an apple event and everything for.

So because there are a lot of features, technology will stop? Or you just think apple will be satisfied with all the money they made and retire making new products? How dumb...new ipods almost every year and how many more features can they add? Seriously i will guarentee they will release a 6th iPhone might not be called iPhone 6 and might be completely different, but really?
 
Help! I want to start my own white iPhone thread. How do I do that? :confused:

Seriously, I'm on the side that finds them extremely ugly. Didn't like white on previous models and don't like it on the latest either. Plus mine is all but enclosed in a case. If I want funky colors, I'll get a different case. But I don't.

Get what you want. But starting a thread telling others what they should buy? :confused: I just don't get it. It's personal preference. I get what I want. You get what you want. I don't tell you what you should like or buy. Yet you seem to be telling us what you think we should buy. It makes no sense.
 
:confused: I just don't get it.

No worries mate I'll explain.

I see people ask all the time whether or not they should get the white iPhone, this thread was talking why the white iPhone 4 is a good purchase.

If it doesn't apply to you then don't reply and move on :)

3. "Just wait for the iPhone 4-s"

- If you buy a white iPhone 4 this Feb you will be first in line for the BIG upgrade that is the iPhone 6.
- Don't wait to buy the iPhone "5" aka iPhone 4-s and be stuck in a 2-yr contract with a minor upgrade like the iPhone 3gs owners were when the big upgrade, the iPhone 4, came out the next year ;)

Another reason to get the white iPhone 4 in Feb? Verizon is going to have unlimited iPhone 4 data plans as a limited time special and will soon switch to Att's capped 2gb capped plans. If you want to lock in your unlimited data now with Verizon and get grandfathered in while you can then the white iPhone 4 is the time to do it! :D

These two reasons alone are why I am not doubting my decision to buy the iPhone on Verizon on the 10th. I would really regret it when they change it if I hadn't signed up for the contract under the unlimited data plan now.
 
I think the white looks nice because it can show less fingrrprints than black, but I still prefer black because how contrasting the screen will be. If you want to see colors pop out, go with black. Like buying a new HDTV. You don't see manufacturers commonly making them in white.

Although I do admit, it does get tiring seeing black in all gadgets. I may go for a different color with my next phone. It is like having a wallpaper, ringtone, or Facebook profile pic. You may absolutely love it at first, but after awhile, people do want to change it up from time to time.

Agreed.

Especially considering he's a n00b to the forum. At least contribute something worthwhile before you go popping off on people! Just another doorknob progeny I suppose. Probably a cheap hotel doorknob like the .....

Stop me guys!!! Stop me!!

Flame off... Phew! That was close.

I almost broke the #1 forum rule: Never get into an argument with an idiot. They will only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
 
1) White only comes on lowest capacity models. I already owned a 16GB phone, it's not enough.
2)I'm already on track to be upgrade eligible for the 6, so...
3) for the looks and attention? Really? I usually buy a phone because it functions well, but I guess high schoolers have different priorities.


High schoolers? Me and my girlfriend are 26 and she only wants the iPhone because it is white haha. Age has nothing to do with it,
 
Especially considering he's a n00b to the forum.

Especially considering that you've been here a whopping 3 months and have less posts than me you should take your own advice about keeping quiet and move along... thanks :)
 
White is for sissies :eek:

LoL you'll have to tell that to the football linebacker in my cal state class with a white macbook. Just make sure to have some padding on when you do ;)

I actually love the white color as it looks great, absorbs less light than the black one does so it doesn't get as hot, and doesn't show as many fingerprints on the back like the black one :)

Touche! I will move along and you be good now.

But won't the white body make the screen look even more yellow? :p

who cares if he is a noob? what kind of word is "noob" anyways? younger generations.....Just because he does not have a 68000 next to his name doesn't mean he knows any less than the G3 members.
