White iPhone 4 Finally Launching This Week

[koobcamuk]

Reason it isn't a disgrace: The white enclosure apparently was causing trouble with the camera due to light leakage. You would most likely be calling that disgraceful if they had indeed released a 500$ phone with that rather huge flaw, so I guess they can't win.

Did you miss Antennagate?

 

[peterdevries]

Yes, I know nothing about the delay....due to the disgraceful actions of Apple and their total lack of openness.

People keep whining about the lack of openness of Apple, but if I take a look at other companies in the same market (Samsung, Sony, LG etc..) I wonder how much more open they are, when compared to Apple? The only thing they do differently is announce their products in a different way, but I don't see announcements about products delays and their reasons by other manufacturers anywhere on a regular basis. What lack of openness are you referring to, and what do you expect from Apple?

Anyone with a certain business sense would have handled the white iPhone issue in the same way that Apple did. They probably didn't know themselves when it would be ready for large scale production, so what good does it do to give regular updates or keep promising launch dates that cannot be met (I know they did this with the white iPhone, but this just proves that they should just confirm when they are sure)?

All this outrage is because Apple is actually the most reliable manufacturer on the planet with it's synchronized and predictable launch patterns (bar some examples such as the Mac Mini and Air). I keep getting the feeling that it's the same kind of outrage that is present when the always-on-time guy is for once a bit late, whereas most of the others are late everyday and nobody cares.

It's just a gadget, not a cure for cancer...

Black iPhone Covers...

"Hi. Do you like my NEW white iPhone? Did you notice the nice black cover on my NEW white iPhone? I just LOVE my white iPhone, even if you can't see it with my black cover."

I just drives me nuts when I see people do that. Or the guys with white covers on black iphones. HELLO!!!

 

[Al Coholic]

LOL! These white iphone threads are hilarious. Only mindless Apple drones would spend so much time debating the "color" of a product.

 

[Christian247]

What I'm wondering is if the WiP4 will have the first antenna design, or the revised one like VZ....

 

[redhawk87]

at first glance it seems stupid to come out with a white iPhone 4 this late in the game. But I assume when the iPhone 5 comes out, the iPhone 4 will still be sold at a discounted rate like the iPhone 3GS on AT&T. So coming out with a new color for a phone that will be selling for the next year or two is not too late.

Releasing this now is the dumbest thing Apple has ever done.

Yea, sure. If they had a different Hemroid based colored phone you'd be all over it.

 

[Kwill]

The white location tracking device will finally ship! Whoop-de-do.

 

[Leeartlee]

So looking at Vodaphone's site... it appears the storage space bump "possible" rumors was bogus.

I've been holding on to this 3G for SO long now just to get 64GB. Whether the iPhone 5 comes out this summer or spring, it's the only feature I care about. Come on apple, I know you can do it!

I would think ousting Job's ranks a bit higher on that scale.

 

[dscuber9000]

I still think the white one is ugly as hell, but whatever.

 

[dominickator]

Are you freaking kidding me!?!! I spend HUNDREDS of dollars to convert mine to white, and now its out?! AARRRGG

 

[Mr Snubbles]

Ummmm.. what if I bought a iPhone 4 at launch. Recently broke it... and now want the white one?

 

[basesloaded190]

That wasn't very smart

 

[tehpwnerer19]

Why is there no option "No, it is ugly" ? Because that would be the correct answer.

 

[bopanic]

so its not looking good that we might get a 64GB version? everything i have seen is showing 16 & 32...

That would appear to be the case, most unfortunately.

 

[silentnite]

Out here in the world there is a buyer for anything apple. I'm just not into a white anything apple it will only show easily how rugged I can be with my phone.

 

[iMrNiceGuy0023]

I know, or knew, a few people holding off on the white iPhone 4. But people may hold off until the iPhone 5

the white iPhone 4 has to at least be faster or have a better camera or something. It cant just be the same phone from a year ago

 

[Christopher387A]

I would love a white iP4, but at this point, it's too close to the next update.

^LOL, yah, people are holding off until the iPhone 8.

Yes, the white iPhone 4 will be the same phone from a year ago, what makes you think it will be better specs?

 

[swagi]

it's not like the new android phones are so much better than last year. so far the only dual core ARM Core A9 phone is the Motorola Atrix and it wasn't that good. The VZW Thunderbolt is last year's CPU with LTE. My HTC INspire 4G is the same CPU as the Thunderbolt with HSPA+ and the iphone 4 beats it in uploads

*keeps on wondering if the US of A is the only country with a modern tech mobile phone embargo*

You have heard about the LG Optimus Speed or the Samsung Galaxy S2, haven't you? Aren't they available in the US, because I can order them on Amazon Germany now just one click away!

 

[antpod]

Wtf. There is so much hate in this forum especially anytime white iphone is mentioned. It seems to be mostly black iphone 4 owners. They all seem so bitter, damn lol.
