Just found a picture of the first chick in America to get a white iPhone

Definitely fits the demographic
You mean in comparison to the black iPhone demographic?

Waiting For The White Pre-Order Moment

been holding out. it seems that once the iphone hits the market the servers will crash again and we'll have trouble ordering.
Well at least we can be in the trying to order mode.
yah. It feels like another iphone launch is coming.
Definitely.
If i'm on the waiting list for the black iPhone, will the Apple Store be smart enough to let me know if they get the white iPhone first, to call/email me?
This waiting STINKS!!!:mad:
Not likely.
so much sexier than the black one :cool:
For sure.
Who knows? maybe the manufacturing challenges they faced was the cause of the antenna issues with the black iPhone. Maybe they solved it for the white one? ;)
We can only hope White iPhones have the antennae & proximity sensor issues fixed out of the box.
So... When can we order these bad boys? It's July already haha
Yes I wish Apple PR would issue an announcement of when they're going to let us begin placing orders. It's like they're making everyone who are waiting for White second class customers with all this FUD surrounding the launch of WHITE models. :(
 
I bought the black one but i'm going to return it and get the white one before my 30 days are up

Am I the only one who thinks that this is an abuse of companies that have excellent return policies.

As more and more establishments reduce return time spans, reduce reasons for accepting returns, give people hard times, absorb costs because of repackaging and reselling as a refurb. Doing it for such a high demand item is especially selfish.
 
Is there something like an invisible shield that can go over the phone to solve the problem? I'm not being a jerk, I really want to know. This whole time I've been thinking that would be a easy fix, but I don't know much about antennas and films or coatings. If this is an option, it seems it would be fairly straight forward for Apple to add it and solve the problem. Do you know where to get something like that? I have several friends that would love to have it.

This has been tried with electrical tape. Doesn't work. We are not dealing with electricity, where bridging cause a short. I don't have an explanation. Only going by mine and others experiences.

If I am in a weak signal area, I can drop the bars by putting my hand over the lower left - WITH A BUMPER ON THE PHONE. I'm not an engineer with a technical explanation as to why. Only know what I see.

If I am in a strong signal area, nothing I can do to drop the bars or degrade performance.
 
Invisible Shield Sells A Maximum Kit For No Extra Charge Includes Edge Coverage

Doubt it. The inherent problem with the antenna, which is all of them being on the outside and are thus bridgeable by the human hand, is still there.

I'm still getting one though, and I will be cutting a small piece from invisible shield and putting it on the bottom of the band and covering the black strip.
For $25 or $12.50 with a 50% discount code you can get by entering Zagg's win a Free iPad contest, they will send you an edge coverage included with the front & rear coverage kit. No extra charge. Same price if you only ordered front & back coverage kit called Maximum Kit. :)

I'm using this complete Invisible Shield Maximum kit plus an iPhone 4 blue silicon case I found last weekend for $2.73 delivered. The beautiful WHITE face will be fully visible surrounded by Royal Blue over the edges plus all of the back.
 
I was holding out for white, but decided when the time comes, I'm making it an oreo- just changing the back to white.

i like the black front.

Not owning either black or white... I have read where some feel that the screen "looks" smaller when "boxed" in by the white front, versus the black one.

Is that opinion the feeling of any here that have been holding out for the white iPhone? :cool:

Like wearing light color clothing in the summer or wearing a vertical striped shirt if you are a big person. :eek: Certain things affect what is perceived.

Also, "The company announced just prior to the initial iPhone 4 launch late last month that availability of the white models will be delayed until the second half of this month due to manufacturing challenges."

Why can that be an acceptable excuse from Apple to explain the delay in getting the white iPhone out to the masses and yet, we the people, can't suggest 'due to manufacturing challenges' as a way of explaining the black iPhone antenna problem to Apple's insistence that there is nothing wrong except bad math? :rolleyes:
 
WHY is this news?

We already know there is a white iPhone 4. In fact, Apple had one at WWDC you could play with. The same one.

We already know they are manufacturing them, of course.


A white box is news?
 
the fact that someone was able to obtain a white iPhone relatively easily like this makes me think we will be seeing them sooner than we think......next week?
 
HAHA.....I love how all the impatient people who settled for the black are now bitter and trolling to try and make the people who will have classier looking phones than they do that the color white is ugly? its white you morons!
 
If you think that owning an iPhone of any colour makes you in any way unique, then I have some land in Florida I want to sell you.

And i have a beautiful oceanfront property in kansas I'd like to sell you.

99% of iphones out now are black. So my statement of white being more unique (and the least popular of the two) was incorrect how?
 
I really do think that for the white iPhone they should change the band from stainless steel to gold. Then it would look like cheap costume jewelry. Or a Lexus.

That statement is so bafflingly backwards that it could have only come from Kansas.
 
Why does it still have that ugly slit where the proximity sensor is?

Black doesn't have that.
