I like that color, didn't think I would. I wonder how well it's going to hold up to being in people's pockets with lint, fuzz, and dirt. I'll let the general public test it first. :)

The color is under the glass like the black version....
 
Why. There will always be a need of a last gen iPhone. Whats going to be 99 dollars when 5 comes out. And Sept (if its true) is still 5 months away. And lets not forget that companies come out with new phones every month. Why cant apple. Though they only make one device. I think I can forgive them if they introduce a minor update before a new version comes out. Most people that wont have a iPhone 4 wont get this. But if you don't then now you have 2 options. Get it now or wait for next version. We are adults we can make decisions.

Still seems odd they would ship this now and not just offer it with whatever version (iPhone 4s... iPhone 5...) they're revamping later this summer.
 
im bummed its all going down like this. here is my personal problem.

i have almost every apple product available minus an iphone. i have been using this POS blackberry because my verizon contract doesnt end till may 10th.

so now i have to decide if i should go ahead and get an iphone now or wait it out. my bberry is on its last leg. i told myself i would get the white iphone for sure if it was coming in 64gb but doesnt look like that will happen. ugh.
 
buyer question

I liked the white a lot so I ordered it for my ipad now I'm not sure if I should go ahead and buy this or wait until the next generation iphone. What do yall think
 
So I wonder, when the iPhone 5 comes out, if being CDMA/GSM combined will free up some space in the product line that they'll then fill with more colors.
 
First thing that came to mind when I saw these pictures.


Just like black is a slimming color, white is a fattening color. True. We paint our teams carbon composite bike frames white, and they look big and puffy and smooth like marshmallows, but the production models are natural composite (mostly black) under clearcoat, and look almost skinny by comparison.
 
No so fast!

I'm ready. Let's do this. Hoping to be able to order it online early tomorrow morning.

How quickly we forget! Somehow, we do. My black iPhone 4 is a piece of crap as a phone, simply because, unlike my 3GS, it face-dials (thats after being exchanged and after software "fixes") and it needed a bumper to work properly and not to drop calls. Again, as a mobile phone 3GS runs circles around it. So, no matter what colour thy paint it, it is a piece of crap, unless the proximity sensor and antennae issues are fixed for good. Now, it is a lot cheaper to just keep churning up faulty devices than to roll up your sleeves and fix the problems, right?:mad:

Well, after my wife's first iPhone 4 was replaced (yeah I know), her existing one has worked as expected.
 
Some of you are right about the size. Look at the first picture. It's VERY thick and almost distorted. I thought maybe the picture was stretched, but the Apple logo looks correct. Probably just a bad print. They look normal in the other pic.

Why only black and white?

Apple are always looking for a money spinner, why not 20 colours? Why not ltd edition in 100 themes?
 
Agreed... I'm not sure why someone would buy a new phone if there's an extremely high chance that a new version will be released soon.

Why your comment was at -4 is beyond me...

I'll bite. Where I live, "soon" means something in the neighborhood of a month or two. Certainly before the summer starts and I start going on road trips to the beaches and the mountains and visiting friends in other cities, and spending time out and about in this big city where I live.

I've been following the rumors on this site and here is what they are: the earliest we know Apple may *announce* the new iPhone will be September. It's reasonable to assume it will not be available immediately after the announcement, and it's also reasonable to assume that it would take a few weeks to get one once you can place an order. So we are looking at something like... oh, October or November. And what would that new iPhone even have over the existing one? Not only am I not impressed by the rumored changes, I'm not even impressed by people's wish lists!

Given all that, would it really be better for me to spend the rest of this spring, summer, and the nice weeks of the fall using my beat up old 3G, just so that I can have a "slightly better than iPhone 4" while sitting at home during the winter?

I think not. Definitely not.
