that's what I did lol.
As did I. I initially wanted white, then a few days before yesterday I started debating whether the front would get too dirty (I have a white 3G now) and thought I might want black, then I kept pondering and pondering and decided **** it I'll get white, then of course white wasn't available so I again said **** it I'll just get black. Now all this white not being available is kind of making me want white, but at the same time I realize I'm getting the same product in black instead so whatever it's just a color. Black will be fine.
 
Dude chill.. It was an IDEA. I obviously woke up early and waited on the internet to pre-order because I WANTED THE PHONE asap. I already sold my iphone 3g and now I eagerly waiting for the iPhone 4 to arrive. I'm content with keeping the black I was just wondering if it was possible. I just think the white looks much more attractive then the black does.. that is all.

I'm very chill.... just asked two simple questions.
 
in the same position :/ I'd gladly hand over my unopened black iPhone for a white one on launch day if that was possible whatsoever, but I highlyyy doubt it.

I think the fact that you can't preorder them would indicate that there wont be any white ones on launch day
 
I really do not think Apple will give a s**t who is using the phone as long as it is under warranty. Just as is the case when you sell a phone to someone else, the warranty is attached to the product, not to the person. Besides it's just your dad. If you walk into an Apple Store saying your dad's phone's home button isn't working, they're not gonna refuse service on it.

Like I said in another thread, I'm hearing Bo white until August.
 
Just asking.... asked some others the same question... whats the deal with the white iPhone? Why are some people so in love with it?
 
Exactly. What about a color, could be so catastrophic in the manufacturing process, that the white ones are put on hold for 2 months and not the black ones? Seriously?:confused:

Again, I bet if they just have two SKUs it simplifies the launch. The color has nothing to do with it, it's just easier to project and deploy the inventory for two different models.
 
They BB girl said "Mac told us they're coming in August."

Well if MAC said it, it must be true!

He's holding the INVISiPhone here, obviously.
 
There is a threadsomewhere that shows the white ones with cracks you can see from the side. I bet Steve had all the white ones inspected, and the reason black still shipped is because you can not see the cracks just like with the 3g

Its a personal preference, plus its the first time the iPhone has a different color front side than the black. Plus his is a 16GB and mine will be a 32GB phone. That being said, I rather have any iPhone 4 over no iPhone 4, but when the white becomes available I will swap with my dad. He wanted the black one anyways, but he wanted it so we could both use it for Facetime together. So till I get my white one, he is not as anxious to have it and let me use it.
 
Actually, "I really do not think Apple will give a s**t who is using the phone as long as it is under warranty." is really the attitude of Apple towards their products.

As long as it's under warranty, either the original one or the the extended AppleCare, they don't care who has the device and will honor the warranty.
 
... is becoming ridiculous.

Is the reason so disconcerting that Apple thinks it will hurt sales?

Might whatever production issue that doomed the white iP4s also affect the black ones?

I'm surprised there's not a bigger stir about this in the media.

Has anyone heard anything on why the white was pulled?

If you want to abbreviate it, use i4. iP4 is just ... dumb.
 
It's quite clear to me nobody knows anything regarding the white phone.

It's also just as clear that the questions and scenarios will continue to flood this place up.

okay, resume..

Then wait. Why buy a phone if your not going to open it?
 
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a small number available in-store on the 24th. That's why there's no date. They'll be available, just not for pre-order. Since they are smaller in numbers, they wanted to have them in-store only.

Seems likely to me. Otherwise, it seems like they'd post a date on the store. They're not adverse to putting things like "Ships in July" in their availability field.

But, if this is true, those few white ones will be gone right away with folks who ordered the black and decided to switch to a white. That would piss off the folks who waited in line to get a white. If they don't allow you to switch, then that piss off the ones who order black cuz they couldn't get white. It would be a no win situation. I can't see Apple releasing a white until after the return period for the blacks. I hope I'm wrong but I just don't see it.
 
white iphone

I was thinking. Everyones speculating on the white iPhones avaliablity..Best buy had it in its system then stopped selling them and then there were plenty of them during WWDC.. If Apple doesnt release a statment regarding the white iPhone which they havent yet then we would find out when its getting close to the release date because the third party companies like Best Buy and Radioshack walmart would have to update there system and they will get the iPhone in stock probally a day before or so. Also regarding apple releasing a statement for the white iPhone situation, do you think that apple hasnt released a statement due to the fact that the white iPhone will be avaliable? They have let people down so they should release a statment. Whats your thoughts
 
Let people down? If you want the white iPhone you wait for it, simple as that. Its just a phone. Indeed Best Buy, Wal-Mart, et al will have to update their systems to reflect this, but its no different when a product is out of stock or unavailable. Nothing earth shattering here.

Also, "plenty of them during WWDC" does not translate into the amount of pre-orders made yesterday.

They could however release the white model for preorder before anyone receives their black one. This would allow people to cancel their orders or send back their black ones before opening them, preventing all the used phones from being returned.

Yeah but I sold my iPhone 3gs in anticipation for the white iPhone that was suppose to be released yesterday and now I dont have a phone at all. I know I was going to wait one way or another but I thought just until the 24th.

I agree... I know it's just a phone and I am waiting, but it is odd that Apple hasn't said anything. If they gave people a release date (for white) you would have less people ordering the black to trade in for white (not that THAT many people are doing that) and wouldn't have me on their site every day hoping to see "pre-order white" haha
