White iPhone 4's at Employee Maroon 5 concert

Wish I were an Apple employee right about...now. :)

/\ Well, I already own the black iPhone 4, but I gotta admit...that white one is one sexy device...I'd own two phones if I could.

I know several apple employees with white iPhone 4's, as a matter of fact, I've been lucky enough to see them in person. That's what makes this whole delay even harder. I want to trade my black one for a white one.
 
BUT BUT BUT ....

Apple has stated that the white Iphone 4's are "more challenging to manufacture than originally expected", and they are incapable of making white Iphone 4's!!! Therefore, those are not white Iphone 4's in the video and the video is clearly a fake! Apple would never hide anything or lie to us. Ever.

Sweet! Seeing how it is already distributed out to Apple employees, this has left me to believe that the white phones are actually ready for commercial distribution, but they are stalling for something.

... maybe Apple is waiting for the hype to wear down, when more people can appreciate the quality of this product without the near-propaganda expectations that this has blown out to be.

Just my thought. And I'd love to see one in person one day. Cheers.

There are only certain apple employees who have them and they really are not ready for commercial distribution, unfortunately. There really is a legitimate reason behind the delay.

Thing is, if it really is a paint issue, then why do Jobs & co. walk around with white ones if they aren't up to Apple's standards?

I don't get it.

Paint issue? Yes. Shade of the paint? no. ;)

Man, that's a bummer. Oh well, I'm truly glad they're taking the time to resolve that reason if it is a legimate issue instead of rushing it out for money. I've always affiliated Apple with Quality, wherefore justifying expense.

And I love how you've been a member since June of 2008 but are still a "newbie". There are "demi-gods" that have been members since, like, March of 2010.

Way to be selective and only post good stuff, I'm sure. :D

LOL. I'm totally a newbie. Been following MacRumors for years, but don't post often (or at all). I just happen to have a lot to say about the White iPhone debacle so here I am. :D
 
I think having to go to a Maroon 5 concert everybody there should get a free White or Black iPhone. Maroon 5 this would be my idea of Hell!
 
So just out of curiousity, if there are problems being had on the white iPhone 4....why are there OEM white iPhone 4 back and front glass plates available for sale on eBay and online? Are these legitimate Apple parts?

Because it's such a waste that these are not being put together as commercial phones for launch if they are currently being produced in factory and being sold to 3rd party parts distributors. Just my $0.02

That's exactly what I was wondering.
 
I wish they'd just release them. The white ones on show after wwdc looked fine, I wonder what the real reason is they're being held up.

Well, maybe they are test models that jobs & co can test, and in that testing, they found out a problem with the paint that has not yes been resolved?

Some people are acting like this is the end of the world. Cry me a river, build a bridge and GET OVER IT

I can put a rock on ebay with an apple sticker on it and call it an OEM iRock. but does that still make it OEM?

My guess is that all of those OEM backs are cheap knock offs that are marketed as OEM to boost the price
