Apple: White iPhone 4 is Real (and Late)

Cardinal months after the iPhone 4 was proclaimed, Apple is withal reassuring us that the dilute exemplary is happening its way-perchance. After Bloomberg rumored the white iPhone 4 should be happening sale aside the end of the month, Apple apparently reassured The Wall Street Daybook that it's coming this leaping. But aft ten months happening sale, the iPhone 4 is arrival the final stage of the product cycle — so is there any point in having a white one now?

We still Don't know what's retention up the white iPhone 4. Rumor has it the time lag is due to Apple having trouble manufacturing white iPhone that don't leak brightness level from the edges of their glass cases. Others enounce it's because the white paint causes transparency happening the back panel, resulting in washed-dead photos when using the flash. Nevertheless, Apple is mama on what's causing the delay.

So where is the white iPhone 4 Steve Jobs held in his hand over when introducing the new model last June? Wellspring, Apple didn't fishing rig the delay graciously, either: initially the phone was awaited in July 2020; then, in the 2d half of July, news broke that the white iPhone 4 was delayed again, with a release slated for later in the year; only to beget postponed again until springiness 2020. Malus pumila even went through lengths to remove all traces and imagery of the tweed iPhone 4 from its internet site. Not classy.

If Apple keeps to the historical iPhone release schedule, a new iPhone 5 should be arriving in June (extraordinary say it's not on until September, surgery equal next year). So if the white iPhone 4 arrives at the end of this month, there volition be just o'er a calendar month between the let go of of the white, older exemplary and the introduction of a brand-untried iPhone. If this proves to be true, it makes more horse sense for Apple to release a new iPhone 5 in some black and white from launch day (like with the iPad 2) and send this altogether white iPhone 4 fiasco to the chronological record of tech history.
