Why does it still have that ugly slit where the proximity sensor is?

Black doesn't have that.

Please read the thread before posting a question already answered. This has to be the most annoying question on MacRumors. We need a sticky for it.

The proximity sensor is infrared, therefore it stands out much more on the white iPhone. It doesn't stand out on the black because it's dark in color.

that phone is absolutely gorgeous. I always loved the white 3GS, but this one blew me away. It's to die for beautiful, I admit I'm feeling a bit jealous right now. But don't worry Black iP4, I still love you. :3

*pets my black iP4*

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?

Like wearing light color clothing in the summer or wearing a vertical striped shirt if you are a big person. 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?

Well I own a black car (hate the color always dirty) and now a black phone. I prefer the white one, however the front to look uniform needs black. No other way around it.

Also, replacing the back Is a lot easier than swapping the front.

I'm shivering with Antici............pation.

I wonder if they'll do the whole preorder thing again for the white phone... I know a lot of people who have held off for one (my GF), or will ebay their black one to get a white version (me).

 

[OT2000]

WOW.

WHITE looks AWESOME.

(I'll definitely be passing my black model onto my wife.)

why can't people just wait for the white one if they want it? all this abusing the system and more importantly denying people who genuinely want an iphone because they can't wait a few weeks for the white release is driving me nuts..

In my book, entitlement is a disease. Its that and also just sheer impatience. Everyone wants something now, nevermind you got your free overnight shipping, I feel it too. Like I can't wait to drop this old blackberry and get my 3gs back from AppleCare folks, who replaced mine due to something that went wrong with the 3g antennea. I'm, waiting for the white, why? because I got a 3gs with iOs 4, I can wait for something like facetime, nevermind most of the people I know WONT have it...

I can't wait....teeHEE. >.>

Doubtfull, most likely they will do it Apple-style and spring it on us randomly at some time in July, and it will probobly sell out. Or maybe all this white iPhone talk is just talk, I only know one person in a slew of iPhone owners who has a white phone. Though I think the white iPhone 4 brought sexy back.

Blame Apple and AT&T for the debaclw not the customers who were expecting the white model on the actual launch date promised to them.

 

[Drag'nGT]

For the love of God SHIP THEM!!!!!!!!
I can't stand waiting any longer.

Hmm.. I thought slavery ended a while ago, ya?

Terrible.

Fitting for a guy from AZ.

Well black it is for me, been interested in what the White one would look like; but it just isn't for me.
The black just seems so much more sexy and sophisticated.

 

[verniesgarden]

I've been waiting on the White iPhone, been calling it the "White Buffalo" so this made my day!

 

[Garion]

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.

I see where you're coming from. The front looks better in black, but the back looks better in white. Wouldn't it be cool if Apple made this half-and-half option as a built to order?

I'd order one straight away!

White iPhone

Since I can't get the black one, may as well wait for this one to come out

 

[jonnysods]

Man those look nice. Even with the 'beauty spot' on the front of the phone for the camera they have done a great job to hide the proximity sensors.

Now if only they will give us a date for release in Canada! My wife and I want white ones. Although she may make me take the black one so we can tell them apart!

Are you an idiot? How is the guy ebaying his black iPhone 4 to buy the white iPhone 4 abusing the system? That one I'd like to know.

M.I.C. gadget posts a series of photos showing Apple's forthcoming white iPhone 4, as well as the device's box, which appears identical to that of the black iPhone 4 with the exception of the color of the iPhone on the front of the box.

The photos come courtesy of a Japanese source who was able to obtain one through unknown means.

The white iPhone 4 was has been unavailable since Apple began taking pre-orders for the device in its launch markets in mid-June. 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.

[JohnnyQuest]

Wow, that looks really great! Had a white 3GS, but went black for the iPhone 4. I may need to go back to white for the iPhone 5!

It's posts like these that make me want to gouge my eyes out. Apple has already publicly stated the second half of July.

 

[Rot'nApple]

I have the black one but now looking @ those pics, I kind of wish I would have waited.. White does look Sexy!

If I were to get the white one, it would look so good next to my 'old' white Intel iMac.

However, if it would look somewhat out of place with my recently purchased iPad! And I don't take my iMac out in public.

Decisions, decisions...

Any advice or input out there?

I am so incredibly happy I have waited for the white iPhone, especially with all the issues. This will give me a bigger window from the launch date to return the phone if need be. I actually attempted to pre-order black once I saw how crazy things were getting and though I might have to wait an extended time to even get a black if I gave in, but I stopped at the last confirmation page. And now that patients is paying off.

The black is a very very sleek, professional looking phone. My gf got one on the 3rd of June. And I've been envious since, but now it's gonna be her turn to be envious.

The white iPhone 4 just has something about it that is so much more modern, futuristic and *clean* looking about it. It just looks like a much more powerful device in my opinion, and definitely stands out. Also, fingerprints and scuffs don't show up nearly as much on the white. The white actually causes the screen to appear bigger too. White opens up our spacial perception, while blacks causes our perception to close and seem smaller.

Some people have said that the white causes a distracting contrast against the touch screen. I couldn't disagree more, I'm on my white macbook and to me the screen just seems to "Float" more than it would on a black monitor. A black boarder makes the screen "pop" more, but white makes it "float" and seem more seamless. I love the way it looks.

Looking sooo forward to the end of this month. White iPhone = pro.

Give the black to masses, save the white for the pro's.

out.
