Where oh where is the white iPhone 4?

That must have been some paint issue with the White iPhone. It's been 5 months and not a hide nor hair of it.
Any ideas or is this a case of vaporware?

Do you really believe that a white phone is soooo hard to make in comparison to a black one? come one pople, it's just paint.
Well, apparently (according to people who know something about manufacturing processes) the problem with the white "colour" (it's not simply paint - the front and back of the phone are glass) is light seepage from around the screen. Since white doesn't block out the light as well as black, they're trying to make a white colour which works but also looks very white (rather than an off-white shade).

  • Where have the white stickers gone?

    Bought a MacBook Pro last Wednesday and I have one really nagging question…
    …where are the white stickers?
    This must be the first Mac I've bought that doesn't have a couple of freebie stickers thrown in.

    It might be just you. I believe I found the very same stickers you are asking about tucked in with the usually documentations and restore CDs. As I can remember they were located in the packet marked "Everything Else" included in the envelope holding the restore CDs themselves.

  • Has anyone else noticed that colors are washed out on screen on the white iPhone?

    Comparing the white and black iPhone 4 side by side, I noticed that colors on the screen are washed out on the white iPhone. This is clearly noticable when clicking on messages and looking at the top where the word messages appears in blue/gray color. When looking at this on the white iPhone, its more white than blue/gray.

    It could be just the contrast in color with your eyes looking at the white iphone vs the black one. Your eyes can sometimes play tricks on you. But in all seriousness, iPhone screens vary in color temperatures. I have seen two black iphones 4s that looked like they had different displays in them.

  • Does the Mophie juice pack plus work on the white iPhone?

    My buddie said he tried to use one and the white iPhone was too thick. He isn't the sharpest tool in the shed so I thought I would see what others had to say.

    I don't know if mophie juice pack work on 5c, but I have a RavPower 14000mAh and it works on my 5c. Think it's a smart choice as it can charge 2 of my devices at the same time. I feel that the speed is even faster than I plugged into the wall. You may get it from amazon if you'd like.

  • Can you change a black iPhone 5 case into the white iPhone 5 without buying a new phone?

    Can you change a black iPhone 5 case into the white iPhone 5 without buying a new phone?

    Apple does not have an exchange program.
    By the time you purchase the required materials to change the case from black to white and the expense to do so, you would be better off selling the black iPhone and use the proceeds to purchase a white one.

    I'm almost certain the white colouring is underneath the glass, so it wouldnt be coming into contact with your sweaty hands

  • Will the white iPhone 4S be thicker than the black iPhone 4S?

    As everyone knows, the white iPhone 4 is 0.2 mm thicker than the black iPhone 4. So my question is, will this be the same with the 4S? I asked apple employees on the website chat and they not only said that the white iPhone 4S will not be thicker but they also denied that the white iPhone 4 is thicker - when it is a fact that it is. A ruler will prove this.
    Does anyone know?
    Thanks

    Everyone may know that. It doesn't change the fact that it is false. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/technologylive/post/2011/05/consumer-rep orts-white-iphone-same-thickness-as-black-one/1

  • Hi, I have the black iPhone 4S but now I want the white iPhone 4S. They're the same price so I was hoping maybe I could switch my black one to the white one for little or no charge. Is that possible? Thanks so much.

  • When will apple hold their next press conference about the white iphone?

    Okay so i was just wondering when the next press conference will be considering that will probably elaborate on a month of the release date as opposed to a 5 month window....And Do you think the phone will be released on the 1st of October because thats when the free bumper policy ends? Thanks.

    I can't see why Apple would have a press conference for the white iPhone when it is going to be the same phone (apart from the colour) has the black iPhone 4.
    I think it highly unlikely that Apple would have any modifications (i.e. modified antenna) on the white iPhone, that would warrant a press conference. If they did this would cause a huge uproar I expect with all the black iPhone 4 owners who would then have the old type of antenna. Apple cannot afford to have anymore bad press and I think they will realise that

  • Where is the white balance adjustment?

    The iPhoto app provided an adjustment for white balance, if Photos in ios8 is a major update and replaces iPhoto, where do I find the white balance adjustment?

    Do you just have to eyeball the correct adjustment rather than have it done autmatically?

  • Where is the White Charging Case for the Lumia 102...

    Way back when songs went from .99 to 1.29 I swear they also announced many songs would change to .79
    Has anyone seen a .79 song? I haven't but I've sure seen a lot of 1.29
    Wish there was a way to search by price just so I could see .79
    The answer to your question is YES. There is an excellent selection of lower-priced independent label music at the online music download store http://amiestreet.com/
    If your question is specifically about the iTunes Store, there are indeed a tiny number of songs for 69 (not 79) cents. But it will be a waste of your time looking for them. Head over to Amie Street. Songs there are in MP3 format, and are compatible with iTunes/iPod and virtually every other player, program and phone.
