White iPhone gone forever?

[wordoflife]

Apple might have eradicated any hope of the white iPhone 4 when they took their store down today. According to Cult of Mac and Apple Rumors, all mention of the white iPhone has been wiped, and all the images that used to have the white iPhone in it have been switched to black. At this point, with it being April and a June release of iPhone 5 being likely, it doesn't make sense to introduce a new color with just two months of play time. [Apple Rumors via Cult of Mac]

According to a source speaking to 9to5Mac, when the Apple Store went down this morning, there was only one major change in the database when it came back online… the total elimination of the white iPhone 4 from Apple’s database.

Not only is the SKU gone from Apple’s system, but images that were once for the white iPhone 4 have now been tweaked to feature the black iPhone 4 instead.


Needless to say, the release of the white iPhone 4 has been plagued with problems. The white paint used in the manufacturing of the glass case of the iPhone 4 caused light to leak onto the camera sensors, and Apple has seemingly spent much of the past nine months trying to fix that problem.

Even so, skeptics who didn’t believe the white iPhone 4 would ever arrive shut up last month when Apple’s Phil Schiller promised it was still coming… an assertion that raised additional questions about whether or not Apple would be updating the iPhone line-up as a whole in June.

With the white iPhone 4 removed from Apple’s databases, it seems like the kibosh might finally be put upon the albino handset once and for all. On the bright side, though, it probably means we’ll see at least some upgrade to the iPhone in June, and you can guarantee Apple’s not going to make the same mistake with the iPhone 5.

Sucks for those who were waiting for the white one.

Why would Apple release a white iPhone 4 now? That would be STUPID. Like think about it... That means they have to produce the white model of the iPhone 4 which will slow production of the iPhone 5, which could possibly be coming out in a few months. (Assuming the iPhone 5 has a release date or at least a time frame set at WWDC)

My guess is that it will be released along side the iphone 5...but only the white iphone 4 will be available once the 5 comes out...no black version anymore. Kind of like the $99 iphone 3GS 8GB...the 8GB model didn't exist until the iphone 4 came out...it was only 16/32GB if my memory is correct!

Sorry, but this would never happen

Makes sense.
I think Apple has bigger things to focus on, like the iPhone 5.

Love the idiots that think the ability to have an option of color is not worth it to consumers

I really hope they go into college as a business major so they can finally be educated that customers want choice or can fail miserably

Clearly Apple fails without choices...

Just kidding man...I dont care for colors myself but black and white are both nice

No worries brotha I appreciate the hard time

I agree that it's not that big of a deal but I just find it funny that others feel the need to convince others that a white option wont ever exist just so they can "crush dreams" and feel cooler about their choice of black and buying it early. People like this need to get a life and grow up.

People like color choices. Get over it. The amount of hype and media coverage over the white iPhone 4 should convince these "dream crushers" that people want an option and Apple should provide it. No different than people wanting a certain car color and refusing to buy it in another color

btw this isn't directed at you mltaylor, just the haters

I hope it comes out, my girlfriend really wants it and upgrades this summer. She doesnt like the black.

I was going to sell mine in order to buy it...

That's exactly what I was thinking.

You're looking in the wrong direction.

It's Apple that pulled a fast one. They know just how far they can mislead their customers without them suspecting anything.

Apple realizes its just like dog training. You've got to be smarter than the dog

I really dislike being compared to a dog. I am neither mangy nor stupid.

It was a joke, hence the smilie.

When dealing with Apple, it helps to have a sense of humor. The lack of a white iPhone 4, is but one example of Apple's tendency to be a bit unreliable.

Other companies do it too, its just a lot funnier when Apple does since they tend to act so righteous. No biggie.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with his sentence, at least, not what you make it sound to be.

Stop being arrogant. You know you are.

they'd lose far more sales than they'd gain. it's a small percentage that even want a white phone.
