White iPhone 4 to Launch on April 26th?

I think it will be bigger leap than you think.
If it is just incremental, they would be on time for another upgrade for June.

The next hardware upgrades as far as processing power are obvious. Economies of scale dictate they are going to use their latest processors across as many product lines as possible (the next iPhone and iPod Touch are as good as guaranteed to have an A5). I think a delay would more likely be attributed to iOS 5, particularly since it doesn't look like there will be a big iOS 5 unveiling at WWDC. I actually hope this is the case. It would indicate significant changes to iOS, and it needs it!

EDIT: As a side note, fingers crossed they bring Core Image support in this version. Graphics hardware is up to the task now.
 
I personally do not understand the strong desire by some for a white phone over a black one. The specs should be the same short of the post I saw about the delay possibly due to camera issue and light being absorbed. Is the idea of white more "mac like" as its the color of many apple products? It works the same? I got some white epoxy here might do the trick :)

Clue me in please.

Why does someone buy a red car instead of a blue? Personal tastes, nothing more.

I'm pretty sure we'll have a preview of iOS 5 at WWDC which would indicate a September release (in time with the iPhone 5).
After all, the tagline for the event is "Join us for a preview of the future of iOS and Mac OS X."

Anyone who buys an iPhone 4 because it is white now is a racist! A RACIST! And they can forget about running for office! Racists!

why? my old phone is dying, and i dont know if it will last 6 more months. since i like choices i am happy that i can choose the colour if i decide to buy a iphone 4 by then.

its not like the iphone 4 is old. its still the latest and best iphone. what is the problem some people here have? if you buy your iphone a month after it has been released you are a kind of jerk?? :confused: wake up, this is not how the rest of the people are buying their stuff. they buy it when they need it. :rolleyes:

oh well, why am i replying at all, this is just like feeding the trolls... :p

I ended up buying an iPhone 4 ten days ago because my 3G s died (I really was hoping that my 3G s would have lasted until the iPhone 5). With this news I might look into the possibility of 'sidegrading' to the white iPhone 4.
I'm still within the 30 day return policy with Apple-I just need to see if AT&T will penalize me.

I doubt they'll penalize you if you are within your 30 days. Just tell them you aren't happy with your black iPhone and you want the white one. If they want to keep you as a customer, they'll hook you up. Did you pay for the black one? Cancel the line, get your money back then get the white one. There's always a way around the BS the phone companies try and screw us blind with...:D
 
The white iPhone buys Apple some time to get that iPhone 5 release ready for fall. That and it helps them float/Pad their summer quarter.

Releasing a white iPhone might smack of desperation but this is just the drawn out version of the iPod story. Eventually now when the market is saturated with both Black and White iPhones we will begin to see colors!!! Then, the product line splits and we get iPhone Nanos!
 
I can't believe there are people out there dumb enough to buy one of these when a new iPhone is, by all indications, probably less than 5 months away.

i dont get why this is "dumb" some people have been wanting it and waiting for it . some people might have a cracked screen on a 3gs or broken phone and maybe want this one. just cuz it dosent suit your case dosent mean its dumb for everyone else. by all means dont get the iphone in white and go troll on the iphone 5 rumor pages
 
I, for one, have been rolling with the iphone 3G ( not 3Gs) since close to it's release. My contract came up in October and I was hoping for a spring/summer release of iphone5 in order to reup to a better contract and better phone... Considering that September is a speculative date and I'm pretty tired of my month to month plan, I might just call it and get this one.
 
i want the new imacs man . does this mean more delay on new imacs????? seriously whats the big deal with a white iphone .. its just the same phone .. rub it in flour if ur so into white .... lmfaoo new imacs please . come on
