All the live blogs say plastic, but I don't know whether that was something that was actually reported or just inferred from the pictures. I'd still be surprised if its not zirconia. Ok whatever. Everyone reset their countdowns until July 11.
No, it's a direct quote (I was listening to a live audio stream). Steve said "full plastic back." Hopefully it's pretty scratch resistant.
Argh, another month!
Minimal updates. Some minor design changes (to make the iPhone less expensive to produce). Much as I expected.
There will now be a short pause while I laugh at all the people who were expecting improved camera, video chat, 32 Gb etc...

Im so dissappointed in apple I cant even begin to discribe it. A plastic back?? are you kidding me. Dont get me wrong I own a PC and my Iphone is my only apple product but I have grown to expect apple to lead the way in inovation not take queues from Microsoft. I ponied up the 600 bucks when it was released it was tollerable because it was diffrent it looked nice and had a level of class no other phone possessed. Now they have this cheap looking Iphone for 199 which makes mine pretty much worthless in resale value.
I buy my phones because they're useful, not because they make me look cool.
Plastic backs should be much more scratch resistant than the stainless steel (which scratches if you so much as sneeze on it). And $199 is a great price. I'm excited that Canada is finally getting them.
It's online at Apple. The 16gb is available in black or white.
Thanks!
It's not on the US site yet.
I was hopping the front would be white too.
