If you spent more time on this blog instead of in restaurants, you would know that mod jobs with white parts smuggled out of Foxconn factories have been around for many months now.
What we are a lot more interested in here is this rumored sighting of a lady in the wild!
Tells us more about her.
Yeah, I do know about the kits which is why I mentioned them. But given my geographic location, the person could very well have been an Apple employee.
As for the "lady in the wild", perhaps if you spent more time in a restaurant and not on this blog, you might gawk at one too

Anybody on the forum that believes a white iPhone 4 will be released soon with IMPROVED ANTENNA and/or IMPROVED SPECS?
Please let me know your thoughts...

I do know about the kits, this did not look like one of them. And given my geographic location, the person could very well have been an Apple employee.

What do you mean by "this did not look like one of them" How did it differ?

By the way..still laughing

Obviously this is just an opinion of mine, but...
--NO WAY on improved specs.
--AT&T will have the same fame (antenna) as current and Verizon will keep its same frame.
What would be cool is that if Apple used this white iPhone 4 as its test bed for a single CDMA/GSM version.
Guess I'm glad i have a family plan. Upgraded my primary line to a free 3GS back in December while my other lines are avail for upgrade at the end of this month. I could upgrade swap for the white iphone 4 and then if the iphone 5 wont be out till maybe by December ill use my primary line's upgrade which will be eligible by then. Win win i guess.............although that's if i want to stay on AT&T :/

Sodner has it right - no upgrades or spec changes for white iPhone 4 - it'll just be the white version, that's all.
One of the ways that Apple gets the most profit is by driving costs down over the time the product is in production (even during that first year). Introducing changes in design etc. is very expensive and would put a big hit on profitability.
Its iPhone 4 until the Christmas shopping season gets going (end of the year) and for most buyers that'll be just fine (not the ones on here of course) - and give Apple more time to squeeze profits out of it. It'll also give Apple time to ramp up A5 production and yield prior to having to supply it in the iPhone 5.
They are already out in the wild. How do I know? Read below
I was in a restaurant in the bay area earlier this week when a lady walked in to pick up her takeout. She was yakking on a white iPhone. I got a nice look at it from about 3-4 feet away. It wasn't a black iPhone with a white cover, it was clearly a white iPhone with no cover. Saw the silver Apple logo and the engravings very clearly. It did strike me as odd, but I haven't been tracking all-things-apple closely, so didn't know if the white iPhone was in the market or not.
And yes, it could be that the lady had paid mega bucks to get a custom white skin, but that honestly seems more far fetched.
Exactly.
