I saw that at first too. But I think the distortion is because of the angle, if you look at the way the box itself seems to taper out towards the bottom it seems to match the way the iPhone's sides taper outward too.

Oh yeah, i assumed the camera was held dead over the box, but it was obviously at an angle
 
And is it just me, or does the first image look wrong? The right hand side of the iPhone should go straight down, but it pans out to the right, as if it's been twisted. Bad photo work by Apple if that's a genuine photo. I don't think the photo is real though. Personally I think Apple are shipping them in the same boxes the black ones come in, just with a label saying white (standard for most other manufacturers to do this), and someone's photoshoped the box to make it look cool.

Was wondering this myself...!
 
I would think that if Apple is offering the white version of the iPhone 4 then they will probably offer a white iPhone 5. Personally I like the white color. I like it because it is a throw back to the days when Apple was offering all white computers. This is the same reason why I like the white iPad over the black iPad. Mark my words, the other manufacturers will follow with white colored phones.

They already do don't they. BlackBerry has done a few white models of their phones and I'm sure nokia has released white handsets even before the iPhone existed.

I really like the look of white, if there are two colour choices for the iPhone 5 I'd definitely purchase white.

I agree! It's ugly with that.
 
The hype I tell you!

Oh great yet another apple product that will undoubtly be in short supply high demand for a long time. Hey apple can we try for once in this century to have enough of something that doesn't require a ****ing line up like this was a food pantry or something?? I mean the line ups and scalpers and short supply high demand was cute for a while but in this day and age it's silly and disrespectful to loyal fans. I don't feel more as part of a select few by lining up or waiting 1000 months to get a product. So again apple, try to anticipate enough to go around.
 
I'm with Vodafone UK and just ordered a new iphone 4 to arrive one day next week. Does this mean I might be getting a white one?
 
So, I guess Apple changed it's packaging so as not to be confused with Samsung's copycats?

1) The iPhone 4 box has always had this weird tilted angle shot.
2) Copycat? There's a phone pictured on the top of a rectangular box. Nokia and other manufacturers have been doing this way before the iPhone even existed.
 
I hate it

Holy crap apple, is it even worth releasing anymore? It's almost embarrassing how long it has taken them. Not to mention ITS SO ****ING HIDEOUS IT LOOKS LIKE A CHEAP PLASTICY PHONE.
 
I'm not sure if I like it or not. I actually really like the white iPad. But the white iPhone doesn't look as good. On the other hand, the white iPad looks much better in original than it does on photos, perhaps it's the same with the white iPhone.
 
I gotta say after i got the white ipad 2, my thoughts changed about the white color on the iphone.

So yea im one of those people that are going to get the white iphone 4 on its release hopefully soon :)


Take care everyone & God bless.

Who cares?? As long as it is still marred with a bad proximity sensor that does "facedials" it will be another piece of crap from apple.
 
I believe it. Wonder why they changed that proximity sensor.
I don't like that "double grill" (proximity sensor and speaker grill)

They changed it because the existing one will put people on mute or hold if held a certain way. It always happens when I am holding it with my shoulder. 3gs never had this issue.
 
White Iphone

Will the white iphone be released this week in Europe only or will it be released in the United States as well?
 
I hear it's a UK exclusive as a thanks for paying too much apple tax for the last 15 years.

Rule Britannia!

"utilizing an open slot over the earpiece instead of the previously-seen fine grating." News to me. I got mine on day two of availability of the original ATT iPhone 4 and it's solid Gorilla glass over the proximity sensor.
 
Did somebody else notice apple changed the proximity sensor from the original design?

Edit: nevermind
