I don't think so
There was an early leak of a white macbook too.... I don't think Apple intends to leak THAT machine out early?
Got a tip for us?

Please don't bless us with your expertise on industrial design, it makes our ears bleed.
Still wouldn't mind a black anodized aluminum one (igonre the one-piece volume control).
I know, keep dreaming
That's bad. This is what they should of done.
No.
dude!
Dude, it is just a phone. I want to the the specs before I have a quasi-sexual experience.
PS. I have heard Rand Paul has ordered a WHITE one.

Just a two-cent opinion:
I gotta say that the design of this iPhone does not look very polished. I know that given material/functional considerations there's a lot more at stake than just looks but for example: The volume rocker, silent switch & lock button on the previous iphones are all so well designed, so thoughtfully considered, and subtle in ways that most people do not understand. AND they look similar to each other. You can't get better design language or heredity than that.
All of the leaked photos show round and flat buttons that have almost no imagination to them whatsoever. I can't speak to their tactile quality because I've never held one of these phones.
However, it still seems a little sloppy, and I don't know whether or not it's because of material constraints, poor choices, or straight up fakery. But I will withhold final judgement for when they are actually released. I just hope Apple has some really pleasant surprises for us all
Very very well said, this is exactly what I feel too ...
i have had the black iphone 3g and white iphone 3gs. black on the new one looks badass but the white looks good too hmm.. must decide in person. the only thing i dont like tho is that the black blends in with the screen and looks good and bigger. The white kind of frames it more if you understand what im trying to say
Totally! Looks like if you want it the day its released you have to be in line waiting. I think I might be in-line this time around just because I'm ready to retire the 3G for the upgraded new iPhone.
But I still hope Apple lets a white one leak out with it operational for a short time so there can be pictures of it floating around the web so we all can see how it looks...
Not that it will happen, but you never know these days.

We wish, Vietnam provides
I almost bought a white 3GS but this looks uber hot. And to think it will be in my hands in what...A month's time?
honestly I don't care much for how it looks in the rendering. It just looks way too generic for my liking. FWIW I have a white 3G right now and have loved it (never got a case, always kept it in it's birthday suit), but this just doesn't really look that appealing.
I guess only time will tell, to see how this thing looks in person when it finally comes out. If it looks like this I'll definitely be going with black.....

Any thoughts as to whether Apple have resolved their plastic discolouration issues yet, and therefore whether the white 4G iphone will look like used bog roll after 6 months?
This looks cool but I will go for black one and I really can't wait to have it and I am sure all these people here who are saying it's looks bad and all these people will be the first one to que up to get this iPhone on the launch date
No way! If Apple did launch the one in these mock-ups (which I am so sure they won't), I will be the first in the que to get a Blackberry phone. Believe me you.
I love Apple products but I won't buy one I don't like. I use common sense.

Agree 100%!
Apple moving away from a unibody design concept is a big call
Dear Apple Friends,
hold the phone a sec!
Whilst the artists rendering in MacRumors looks very convincing indeed, and quite nice, in the rendering, I would buy one, But, I do believe the unit being lauded around the net may be merely a test harness, but time will tell. It looks good and maybe there are reasons in mobile phone structures that its better to have easily disassembled devices, however, maintenance and durability over 24 months would make me think otherwise, unless there becomes and upgradable module path for old iPhones to save waste and be more Green? I think this projected version is quite nice but perhaps reflectively somewhat unlikely, unless there is a move away from the unibody design concept for phones and other items such as MacBooks and I think that may be unlikely. Perhaps if we reflect on the Mac Mini it is still a aluminium sleeve concept which I would have expected for a new phone concept to be mirroring, but the designs do not suggest it. Look at the iPad it mirrors the beautiful pristene elegant design of the MacBook Air which is, I believe the way the real elegant Apple design of handheld computing is in fact going, if it be iPad or MacBook. It is a good breakthrough view into the changing landscape of hand held and semi hand held iAppliance design. Well on Steve and Jonathan actually know and frankly they are the best of the best.
Well we will see soon, which way the design handheld design wind blows.
My guess is easily assembled modular unibody may be OK for one type whereas some other devices that need replacement more often and maintenance more often need to be quickly disassembled. One thing though I think the old 3G iPhone is truly design Classy, and an archetype and a great Apple Product just as is the 3GS.
Go Apple get em...

Gah, I hope the feature on the white one that isn't on the black one doesn't mean that the white one will be the only one offered with the better features. I don't want a white one!
Do you guys think that the new iphone will be available in europe at the same time as US?, i recently read an article where they were saying about foxconn is gonna ship 24 million iphones. And 19 million iphones will be sold in 2nd half, dose it mean june, july or aug??
BTW i live in Denmark.
I just sold my iphone 3gs, waiting for the new iphone....
