Forget the white iPhone 4; say hello to the (mostly) white Nexus S

Despite the fact that Apple’s white iPhone 4 is creeping ever closer to becoming a reality, some people have long since given up on the gadget. We don’t blame them either, what with a new iPhone set to be unveiled this summer.

So this finally confirms an earlier report about white iPhone 4 delay until Spring 2011. I think Spring 2011 will be very late as we are willing to see 5th generation next year so any readers our there planning to get it or wait for iPhone 5 (may be Verizon)? [9to5mac]

 

Real White iPhone 4s on China's Grey Market ?

The Chinese web site Giz-China has published a photos claiming that there are genuine white iPhone 4s is being sold in the China's grey market (a.k.a black markets). Many digital retailers in China have been stockpiling the white devices due to its big profits.

About pricing, it starts from around 5500 Yuan ($828) and rising to nearly 8000 Yuan ($1204) for the base model 16Gb version and it's higher than these for the 32Gb models. Of course these prices are more expensive than the official retail price of the regular black iPhone 4.

This type of illegal resale has been a persistent problem for Apple. In 2008, the New York Times estimated that there were 1.4 million ill-gotten iPhones in the world. At this time last year, the Wall Street Journal estimated that number had grown to 2 million in China alone.

17-Year Old Boy Made $130,000 from Selling White iPhone 4s

Fei Lam, a 17-year old high school senior and gadget nerd, New Yorker, made $130,000 during 6 months from selling white iPhone 4s. He was buying up some white iPhone 4 parts and putting his own conversion kits together.

Everything was were till yesterday when Lam received an ominous letter.

I got an email from a private investigator accusing me of selling stolen goods, which I'm 100 percent sure is not the case. They are some kind of anti-counterfeit/trademark firm, which sounds ridiculous, similar to what Apple is bringing up to remove White iPhone 4 Listings on eBay. I don't know how this legal stuff works.

Lam is looking for a lawyer and this little guy can't deal with this problem. Anyway, I think it's legal to do something like that. Good luck little kid! [Observer, via 9to5mac]

 

Is this the Verizon White iPhone 4?

I have just been tipped off via mail about Verizon iPhone 4 – a white iPhone 4 tweaked to work as a Verizon white iPhone 4 without antennagate problem that iPhone 4 users faced when it was announced.

Take a quick look at the picture below. This photo proves iPhone 4 antenna design update is rolling-out with Verizon network? Let us know what do you think?

What's on the image?

1. The lack of a SIM card slot (Verizon doesn’t use SIM cards)
2. A new antenna design (Goodbye Antennagate)
3. The Verizon symbol as a network in the upper left of the screen.

UPDATE: I know that it might be (probably) fake, at least it brings the real specs of the Verizon iPhone 4. Let's hope it's not fake.

Apple don’t want anyone to get their hands-on the seemingly never to be released white iPhone 4. But I'm wondering why Apple doing this ? and why now? , these packages were available since the release of iPhone 4 on last June. Do you think that Apple may surprise us with something?

The Banned White iPhone 4 Promo Video [Humor]

We all knew that Apple has delayed white iPhone 4 for three times, first when it announced it in July, then in August till later this year and from about two days until spring 2011. We also got some reports that it was canceled by Apple. So, while waiting for a 'white iPhone 5', let's have some fun with a banned white iPhone 4 promo video.

If you waited for the white iPhone, you’re an idiot. You’re a stupid human being who has waited 5 months for a phone that’s a different color. That you’re just gonna put a cover on anyway. So you’re a fool. In fact, why don’t you go get an EVO or something? Or a Droid. 2. They apparently does.

 

You May Never See a White iPhone 4 !

We've really started to lose hope! White iPhone 4? You will never see a white iPhone 4 because Apple reportedly cancels the white iPhone 4 altogether, according to a new report from BGR. BGR’s source says that there will be another delay in March which would cause the release of the white iPhone to interfere with the release of iPhone 5.

Yesterday, Apple's App Store app was updated to allow reserving your white iPhone 4 but in the same moments Apple announced that the device would not be available until spring 2011. Today, the reports from BGR claims that you may never see a white iPhone 4. So, do you really care about having a white iPhone 4?

 

White iPhone 4 Delayed Until Spring 2011

Yesterday we informed you that you can start reserving your white iPhone 4 from the app store app on your device. Unfortunately, earlier today, we were shocked by a new report that a representitve from the Cupertion based company has informed Reuters that white iPhone 4 delayed until spring of 2011. That was really shocking!

(Reuters) - Apple Inc said on Tuesday that it would delay release of its eagerly anticipated white iPhone again, this time until next spring.

If you are a tech fan, you may know that this is the third delay for white iPhone 4, first when they launched it, second when Apple reported that it will be available later this year, and now we have to wait to the spring of 2011. This also indicates that all rumors about iPhone 5 in 2011 are killed now, what do you think?

 

White iPhone 4 Finally Hits the Apple Store

Here is a bit of good news! The long overdue White iPhone 4 has been finally hits the Apple Store, last night Apple released an update to the Apple Store iPhone app but without any new features, the update was the ability to reserve the white iPhone 4.

Simply you have to navigate to the store then select "Reservations" > "Reserve Product" now you are able to select the white iPhone 4 16GB or 32GB configurations. In fact the white iPhone 4 still not available for purchasing from the Apple Store, but this indicates that its release time became imminent. So keep your eyes open. [via BGR]

White iPhone 4 Spotted, Owner Explains Why You Can't Have One

If you’ve been waiting for a white iPhone 4, you’ll wait more. Today's reports from Pocket-lint shows a real white iPhone 4 spotted in New York. They spotted a reporter at a recent press event using his white iPhone 4. They went near to him and they asked about the way he got it, he answered that a friend of his at Apple HQ hooked him up with the device. Then, they asked him about the reason of delay.

Well, according to our jacket wearing gent, Apple is having trouble getting its two suppliers in the Far East to match the white used in the manufacturing of the parts. The white home button colour doesn’t match the white front face plate colour, it turns out.

There have been a lot of reasons floating on the web as color issues and light leak. In my opinion, I don't think that this home button would take much. Well, I don't think that Apple would delay a device for months because of matching the color of a button. What do you think?

White iPhone 4 Coming to Walmart in the Next Couple of Days

That would be great if we saw Walmart the consumer giant, stocking White iPhone 4 in the next couple of days.

Many Walmarts have the Black 16GB iPhone 4 in stock now for the same price of $197.

There's no specific date for White iPhone 4 launch but Apple announced it will be launched on the end of 2010 (no, not Christmas). If the advertisement is correct we should be able to pick up one of these beauties soon. So, stay tuned and we will keep you updated whenever it's announced. [via PocketNow]

Steve Jobs: White iPhone 4 will be Available for Christmas [Update 1x]

Two months ago, Apple announced that they delayed the White iPhone 4 launch till the end of 2010, this was due to color issues, antenna issues and more. We are just three months away from the end of 2010, so Christmas would be the best time for White iPhone 4 launch?

iDB reader Nathan sent Steve this email:

Hello Steve, My name is Nathan, I’m a high school student from San Bernardino. I also happen to be one of your biggest fan and a total Apple fanboy and proud to be. I’ve been saving up money to buy the new iphone 4. I want the white one but Apple said it won’t be available until later this year. I know you must be asked this question hundreds of times a day but do you think we can expect to get the white iphone for xmas?
I hope you can answer. Thank you Steve

Steve Jobs replies from his iPhone:

Christmas is later this year.

Sent from my iPhone

Of course this may be not real source as it's unverified mail, we can't trust the source but at least we can get the hopes up as sounds very likely. We will keep informed, stay tuned!

You can take a look on our iPhone 4 Activity Section, and Also check our iPad Activity Section for more news and posts.

Update 1: The mail you saw above is completely FAKE. as the user who submitted the report to the blogs, has publicly admitted and had created everything as a kind of "joke". He also apologized because he never imagined this result.
Therefore we can say that there are no official news about the launching date for the white iPhone, but Apple has always said that the device would be released in late 2010, so we still expected we will see it in Christmas or may be earlier.

White iPhone 4 Delayed till the End of 2010

Apple announced in brief Statement today that they are going to delay the White iPhone 4 again, They didn't mention a date or a specific time to the release. They Said that it will be sometime later this year.

Here's the Statement from Apple:

White models of Apple’s new iPhone® 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.

 

White iPhone 4 Delayed Due to Color Issues

Engadget claims the reasons behind White iPhone 4 Delay, The reason is problem in the paint application process for the device's glass front and back panels. Lens Technology the company behind the production of iPhone 4 is working on this issue to achieve the best for Apple users.

Engadget Report:

Specifically, the factory’s still working out the perfect combination of paint thickness and opacity — the former to ensure the next sub-contractor has enough clearance for the digitizer overlay, and the latter for the absolute whiteness that Jony Ive and co. strive for. As we pointed out before, the prototype white covers we acquired appeared a touch darker than the iPhone 4 dock, so here’s hoping that we’ll see a better result when the official white phone comes out later this month.

Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple) confirmed in his last conference that White iPhone 4 will be shipping at the end of this month (July 30) So Stay tuned for More News.
