Still no white iPhone!

Get the black

NOPE!

You know you want to join the dark side muahaha xD

You mix colors together you will eventually get black. You can't mix anything with white to keep white. Therefore it is absence of color.

But isn't it exactly the opposite if you are mixing light colors instead of paint colors?

Black is the absence of light. Not the absence of color. Even read the quote you posted. It mentions light.

Mix a crayon box together and it tells you all you need to know.

Last update I heard was next year. At this point, I doubt that anything would change to get it substantially earlier.

For the sake of this discussion, Apple calls it a color.

Actually depends on what you're talking about.

Paints absorb parts of the light spectrum - the reflected light represents the visual "color". Combining all the different paint colors makes black. Direct light, on the other hand, is the opposite - all colors of light combine to white, and no light is, well, black.

You guys are just arguing about subtractive vs. additive color models...

Inks and pigments are measured as subtractive color, and light is measured as additive color. If you mix a bunch of cyan, yellow, and magenta ink together, you'll approach black. If you mix red, green, and blue light, you'll approach white. Link.

mrathee, way to post the half of the equation that supports only your side. Edit: I noticed that the link you posted has info about both additive and subtractive color theory. And it says that in subtractive color theory, black is a color.

This is true... so long as you're working with an Additive Color system. Of course thats only half the story.

The opposite is true for a Subtractive Color System. See here for more info.


Please don't take a job as a paint mixer.

If i wanted to hide it or misquote the text, i wouldn't post the source article. relax people.

Yeah. I gave up in July when they said "later this year". I'm not going to waste $300 to build my own white iPhone either, so I'll wait for next year's model. Hopefully they figure out what they're doing by then.

1. Black is the absence of color (and is therefore not a color)

Explanation:
When there is no light, everything is black. Test this out by going into a photographic dark room. There are no photons of light. In other words, there are no photons of colors.
​

2. White is the blending of all colors and is a color.
Explanation:
Light appears colorless or white. Sunlight is white light that is composed of all the colors of the spectrum. A rainbow is proof. You can't see the colors of sunlight except when atmospheric conditions bend the light rays and create a rainbow. You can also use a prism to demonstrate this.
Fact: The sum of all the colors of light add up to white.

And this is what happens when people don't understand what they read.

They already have it figured out and have had at least one large successful batch of white phones made. They had a bunch of them on hand at the iPhone launch event for journalists/bloggers to play with and photograph.

Why they are not releasing them is a whole other issue.

black is not a color, whats that tell you about henry ford?

He is white......LOL!

Was that an Apple update?

I think he's misquoting (or misremembering) the "later this year" statement.

I was soooooooooo hoping there would be some sort of news on the white iPhone yesterday, but noooooooooooooo!
I and a few other friends are still waiting and refuse to go black since the white iPhone was promised. Waiting, waiting waiting...

You are missing out on all the iPhone 4 goodness. By the time the white comes out, we will be looking forward to iphone 5. You are putting yourself way behind the pack. While we are all salivating over iphone 5 you will be just getting your feet wet on 4 (Unless of course you pay out of pocket or got some other plan for quick upgrade.)

 

[xenuprime]

As long as you upgrade sometime this year, you should be able at least get a partial upgrade discount next June, right?

I gave up waiting a couple/few weeks ago. Glad I did. I love my iPhone 4, even if it is black.
