As announced, Apple has begun selling the white iPhone 4 in Eastern Hemisphere countries as those markets roll around to April 28th. The U.S. and Canada should follow suit in just a few hours as clocks tick over to the new day. While the company is advertising availability on the front pages of its sites in countries where the clock has past midnight, online orders do not yet appear to be available, although third-party retail outlets appear to be free to open their doors.

Even prior to the official release, the white iPhone 4 was making its way into the hands of select customers as certain retail stores initiated early sales of the device.

Steve Jobs and Phil Schiller also conducted a telephone interview with All Things Digital earlier today in which they touched on some of the challenges the company faced in bringing the white iPhone 4 market a full ten months behind schedule.

Update: Video of the white iPhone 4 officially going on sale in Hong Kong.

Hmm... I think I'll still wait for the 5th gen iPhone since I've already held off on the iPhone 4 for this long. Woulda gotten the iPhone 4 if the white one came out alongside the black iPhone 4.
 
not too keen on the dark "spots" up top. otherwise it looks nice now.
I still prefer the black model.

The black model hides the Apple Bummer which after only 4 months use started tearing and breaking...though hard to see on the black phone.
 
There are gonna be a lot of happy women (and subsequently men) as a result. ;)

If you're referring to the "grip of death", reports indicate this model isn't really impacted. So no need. As for protection only, I agree with ya. Junk.
 
Finally! The most unimportant device of the world has arrived!

Before you criticize this comment, ask yourself this question:
If the device is so important (for Apple), why did it then arrive 11 months late?
 
Is there any way I can go to the Apple Store and trade in my black iPhone 4 if something was wrong with my phone and get a white one instead of another black one?
 
Does anybody notice that these threads about the White iPhone go the same way each and every time?

1) Point out that it is 10 months late
2) That phone is "fugly" or some variation
3) Is anybody really going to buy these things?
4) Women will love them
5) I want one
6) That phone is pug fugly, or some variation
7) Guess no iPhone5 in June
8) rinse and repeat

9) complaints of a pointless, repetitive thread
 
It should instead say:

"Finally. Apple's last chance of milking the iPhone 4 until the iPhone 5 comes out".

I'm more interested on what's to come in a few months!
 
I believe the demand for the white iPhone 4 will be strong because besides fixing the case color fading and light bleed issues, they also fixed the "death grip" issue with the antenna and the proximity sensor issue.

It will be interesting to see if Apple will specify which production batch black iPhone 4 will also get the antenna and proximity sensor fixes, though.
