YOU Sir, are a genius!!

From at&t (http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/legal/return-policy.jsp)

You may exchange equipment, other than Closeout Items, one time within 30 days, or 14 days for tablets purchased without a Service Commitment, from the date the original equipment was purchased or shipped. If (1) the purchase price of the original equipment is reduced in connection with a new activation or upgrade and a Service Commitment and (2) the new (exchanged) equipment has a different Early Termination Fee associated with it from the original equipment, you will be required to sign a new agreement. The effective date of the new agreement will be the date the new agreement is signed and your Service Commitment will restart from that date. However, your service activation date will not change for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any early termination fees you may be obligated to pay (See Service Cancellation below).

So if I'm reading correctly, it looks like it's possible on at&t without any penalties or ETFs for new agreements and upgrades. I would assume VZ has a similar policy. So I guess as long as the white ones come out within 30 days of the 10th, you'd be able to make the exchange...with a restocking fee added most likely, and as long as there's no damage. I'll take a look at VZ's return policy to confirm this

Edit: Nevermind..... Verizon's return policy is only 14 days, not 30. bummer.

So I'd sure like to know what Verizon will do with the returned black iPhone 4s if the white one comes out. Would they go back to Apple and then be sold as refurbs? Would Verizon just rebox and resell them as new / used? I can think of a few people that would like jailbroken CDMA iPhones. :p

I expect they won't rebox any phones and sell them as new as it isn't legal. ;)
 
Listen people this is for real.. i saw one of these white iphones and i made the unfortunate mistake of making eye contact. it came up and was all up in my business like Mr. T. and the "pity the fool" act but then a swift nut jab sent me sprawling and I was like "dang gina, I was going to buy you!"

He laughed and sneered at me and said, "i'm the only one. there are no others! tell your friends i'm coming, and i'm bringing hell with me!"

You can make fun all you want, its true it exists but you definitely don't want one. I can't sleep at night anymore, I'm constantly checking my doors and windows at home, I see its creepy home button in my waking nightmares and a strange glow seeping out of the LED screen in my dreams when I think I can take a photo but I CAN'T CAUSE THE PINK CASE REFLECTS ON THE WHITE CASING AND oh jeez its just too much... and it sees me, it knows my GPS coordinates, IT KNOWS WHERE I AM.

Oh for the love of all that's holy make it stop! SOMEONE HELPS ITS COMING BACK! OH SWEET MASHED POTATOES ITS IN MY HOUSE!! HELP...
 
I honestly would be incredibly surprised if they do release a white iphone now. The iphone 5 is just around the corner.. why waste all the time and effort for the white one now?
Valid question here... Why's everyone so convinced a new iPhone 5 is coming? Especially if sales are staying constant and there's no big upgrade to worthy the 5 name. I can kind of see sense of iOS 5 launching on an iPhone 5 but I'm still skeptical. I'd bet a 4S is on it's way to see it through until 2012.

Anyway, I want an iPhone 4 in White. Why people are dismissing it and being ignorant against the very good evidence here, beats me. Just because you don't care, doesn't mean it others don't. I'm eager to sell my black iPhone for the White one. That's my choice.

+1,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm SURE that White ONE HITS A MILLION ShipMent Within FIRST Month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Nope. Not gonna happen. Doesn't make even remotely good business sense to intro a new color option for the exact same phone that is on a summer update cycle of 1-year's duration.

Will they have it in June/July? Probably so.

It's been long enough for the Morlocks to grind enough unicorn horn to get the color *just* right.

Because Apple is Apple and they've done a summer upgrade for the past 3 years in a row? Because Apple slapped a few extras on the 3G and called it a 3GS just to do an upgrade?

That's why. It's Apple. That's how they roll.

It'll be 5G or 4GS or some such thing by summer.

They're Apple, not Motorola. It's all about the latest and greatest when it comes to this phone. ;)

because all the suppliers move on to faster and better hardware. and it would be marketing suicide to sell the same hardware as last year for the same price
 
People seem to forget that the iphone 4 will likely be on sale for another year alongside the iphone 5 at the $99 price-point.

Nah... everyone knows that. They're just not going to start selling it at 99 bucks until they have a new phone to market. Which means that there will be no white iPhone until there is a new phone (no matter how minor the feature changes) to market.

That's not why it is significant. People are talking like it's pointless now because a new phone is coming out so soon. This phone will remain on the market for over a year, however, which is what does matter.

Apple released a 16GB first gen before introducing the 3G, if everyone remembers.

Yeah... and I wouldn't be surprised at a size bump... but something as stylistic as color?

Nah.
 
Wow, please stop with the front page white iPhone news! Does anyone even care about this anymore? Did they ever? It's getting a little ridiculous. I vote negative!

I agree, that it is a very valid question. I've been shot down several times here on MR for even suggesting that the next iPhone upgrades (if there are any coming this summer) will be very minimal. But to me, this just makes sense.

Apple is going to look very foolish if they don't release the iPhone 4 in white, after pushing the date back so many times and assuring the public that it will eventually come. So I believe wholeheartedly that we'll see it soon. Because of this, I have a hard time believing that they'll release it, only to release a newer iPhone that makes it looks outdated. At the most, there will be slight upgrades to the phone which will still allow for the white iPhone 4 to be in the spotlight and not look like yesterday's tech.

Just my 2 cents. We'll see what happens in June, but I'm not expecting anything monumental.

Political Correctness

It's because it's Apple... They already know that most of their followers (aka fanboys and fangirls) will buy anything from them.

PLEASE NOTE: The terms (aka fanboys and fangirls) is no longer approved due to sexism issues.

The new approved term is: APPLEISTA.

Thank you for your interest in all things :apple:
