White iPhone 4 Sales Officially Begin

[CIA]

Apple Store Fifth Avenue in NYC is to start selling them at midnight. Just called.

Sadly Asian resellers will also be buying all these up just like the iPad 2's....

Whoop-dee-freakin-doo.

I mean, really.

Step outside for once. Life is so much more interesting - and newsworthy.

 

[MrSmith]

Wait. You mean idiots, I mean people, actually waited just so they could buy the gadget in white?

 

[scott523]

About time the white iPhone 4 is out! Now lets bring out the iPhone 4S/5!

 

[wildmannz]

It's already tomorrow here in NZ.

And the White iPhone is available to buy:

Now - where's my Thunderbolt MacBook Air?

Well some people have plenty of money to spend on gadgets. So what? On the other hand, if you're on a budget, it wouldn't make sense to buy an iPhone 4 so late in its life cycle - probably not the best value.

Obviously it's a marketing move by Apple to breathe life into iPhone 4 sales, since they're aware the iPhone 5 won't be out for several months. They probably ironed out the manufacturing kinks some time ago, but waited until the spring/summer period when people expect a new iPhone. It will help distract from the fact that there's no iPhone 5 this summer, and it will help reinvigorate sales.

Once you go white you'll never go back

Was it just me or did the original white one have the bands white too?

i lol'd except that wont happen because the white iphone is being released there as well.

It was just you. The band has always been the brushed stainless steel.

It does look good, and will probably looking even better in person. I still prefer the black, but the white is cool as an option for people wanting it. Glad that Apple actually had the quality control to realize something was wrong with the first white ones, and not release them prematurely. Whether it be late or not, props to Apple to wait to make it right.

White iPhone

I wonder why there are two grooves by the ear speaker. My black verizon iphone only has 1.

???

 

[wordoflife]

It looks like Apple is milking out the iPhone 4 to the end.
rip iPhone 5 summer release

It's the proximity sensor. On the black iPhone, it is hidden but can be seen in direct sunlight.

 

[alphaod]

Will be picking one of these up from the Apple Store tomorrow morning…

 

[goobot]

It was just you. The band has always been the brushed stainless steel.

i mean this band

 

[Blakeco123]

I heard it will be available only in Bondi Blue

Your both wrong apple has realesed and offical statment

The iPhone 5 will only be available in Tangerine Orange as the Black model has proximity sensor and antenna issues, and the Bondi Blue model has light leakage and color matching issues.

 

[scott523]

i mean this band

Nope it's always been black. Too bad they couldn't change it.

 

[shk718]

The 14th st store in NYC has them on display already.

 

[SeanZy]

In that video, did I see long ass lines for it?

Can we expect long lines here in the US? For just a color change?

What would you do if there was no iPhone 5, like apple just decided this was going to be it. I mean, they have to stop somewhere.

And secondly, you might like white cause when the white iPad 2 I thought I was going to hate it, but I saw it in person on Monday and I kind of actually like the white iPad 2 better than the black one. Idk, might just be personal opinion.

Those have always been black, although I am just a little surprised they weren't changed to white along with all the other tweaking.

 

[maclaptop]

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

There's a message... BFD

 

[louis Fashion]

I wanted gray.

I wanted "Product Red"

Odd, considering the headphone jack has white around it and not black.

Finally we are ahead of the game. iPad 2 now.

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?

Because the iPhone 4 was so important that they released the black version 11 months earlier than the second color was ready.
