jealous much you little girl? Leave the kid alone

not jelly.... I personally converted my genuine white iphone into a black iphone... U jelly??

Why would you convert a white iPhone to black. Thats retarded. And even if you had a white one, which I highly doubt, it would've costed $750 to get plus $200 for the black parts. So your saying you paid $950 dollars for a black iPhone. Yeah, I'm the one wasting money here.

This little man here deserves my respect. To anyone bitching on his post, his English is way better than yours so stop bitching or learn how to write.

To the little guy: Smart move for fixing girls. ;) And fantastic work on the port to white, I love it!

They certainly are! I'm still hooked with a white 3GS until the iPhone 5 comes out. Which I hope will be available in white :).

Yea it probably will. I heard the white iPhone 4 wasn't produced because Steve Jobs didn't think the pieces were high enough quality. I think they're fine, not any different than the black one.

On to the White iPhone - very cool. I've always been a fan of the black, but it does look pretty cool.

people like you are worse. i hated the kid to, but it's whatever now. hating isn't gonna make him go away, so just live your life and don't let little stuff like that bother you. :rolleyes:

I'm kind of thinking about getting one.... what sets it aside from apples bumper though? Does it fit more snug

It has a silicon case that you put on before the "bumper." I've never used apples bumper. There are two things that I find slightly annoying but not really a big deal:

1. I can't plug in my aux cable because of the bumper. So I need to buy a new aux cable. Or I could take off the bumper and use the cable I have.

2. I can't connect some of my accessories to the dock connector with the bumper on. Again I could just take the bumper off.

Take some pictures with the flash. The white paint is too reflective and screws up the flash and washes out the pictures - which is why Apple delayed production of the white iPhone for so long.

Wow, i just tried that, and that is true, it does wash out the picture a bit.

Yep. Analysts thought it was something to do with the color of the pieces, as if Foxconn can't mix white paint properly. :rolleyes:

It's actually entirely to do with the flash on the camera. It's just too reflective and basically over-exposes the pictures.

One potential solution for iPhone 5 is to change the flash in the device for the white iPhones to compensate for the reflective effect.

Great job on the DIY, I love taking phones apart, but...

Why are so many people in love with the idea of a white iPhone? Is it just because it's "different" than what everyone else has? The current black/silver makes it look so slick and high-quality... white just cheapens the look, IMO.

Oh wait, i noticed that the back cover wasn't completely on, and it was covering the flash a little bit. Even though i put it on better it still isn't as good as the black one, your right.
