Why is there no white iPhone 3GS?

Apple has a white iPhone 4S, they even kept the white iPhone 4 around. This begs the question of why doesn't Apple reserect the white iPhone 3GS? Adding a white iPhone 3GS could add additional profits for Apple.

We're users here Matrix, and we would have absoultely no idea why Apple would or wouldn't resurrect the withe iPhone 3GS.  Speculation is prohibited by the Terms of Use of this forum.

  • Does anyone know why I cant Activate my Iphone 3gs?

    Dpes anyone know why I cant activate my iphone 3gs,it says it cant be activated because the activation server is unavaliable

    If the phone was previously unlocked by an unauthorized method, it was re-locked to its original carrier when you updated.  It will now acivate and operate only with that carrier, using their SIM card.

  • White iPhone 3GS or Black iPhone 4?

    I'm trying to decide if I should wait for a white iPhone 4, get a white 3GS or black iPhone 4.
    I'm with Sprint right now. My contract is up on the 1st of July. I need to switch to either AT&T or Verizon. Sprint has admitted that their coverage is very bad in my area. I find frequently that I have no signal. I want to make the switch now, b/c I'm planning my wedding, moving, going back to school, looking for a job in the new city I'm moving to, etc. etc. etc. I need to be with a carrier that actually has good coverage in my area.
    Waiting for a white iPhone might not be an option for me.
    Do you guys think I should get a white iPhone 3GS or a black iPhone 4? Are all of the features of OS4 available on the 16 GB 3GS? I just did the update on my 8 GB iPod Touch only to find that home screen backgrounds and multitasking are not supported on it.

    I should probably mention this:
    I'm thinking about purchasing a white refurbished 16 GB iPhone 3GS. I don't really want to spend more than $99 on a phone. It's not pragmatic for me to spend any more than that.
    So the question remains, will a white refurbished 16 GB iPhone 3GS support all of the features of OS4? If not, then I'll see what I can do to afford a black 16 GB iPhone 4.

  • Why cant i activate my iphone 3gs after restore ?

    please people tell me why my iphone 3gs will not activate after i restored it? its like this the last 3 days iv tried lots of thing but no joy ? help really appreciated please ?

    Is your iPhone jailbroken? Activation errors often come up with a jailbroken iPhone, and if yours is, there's nothing we can do to help in these forums.
    If you're certain that your iPhone is not jailbroken, Apple has some suggestions here that may help:

  • How to buy a 16 gb white iPhone 3gs from U.S to Brazil?

    Hi! i`m from brazil and i want an iphone so much, but here is so expensive!it's almost $950, there is any way I can buy from U.S with the same price of the apple store?
    Does anyone understand me?
    It`s very difficult to do this??
    Please! I need help okay? if anyone knows how to do this stuff! contact me!
    Sorry if my english

    As already provided, the iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T only.
    The full retail sales price for the iPhone 3GS in the U.S. is $599 for the 16GB, and $699 for the 32GB plus applicable sales tax depending on the city where the iPhone is purchased. The iPhone sold at the full retail sales price in the U.S. does not require a contract with AT&T, but the iPhone remains carrier locked with AT&T.
    AT&T's fully subsidized or discounted price for the 3GS in the U.S. is $199 for the 16GB, and $299 for the 32GB plus applicable sales tax. This price requires a two year contract with AT&T.
    In addition, support and warranty coverage by Apple is honored in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple only.

  • Do white iPhone 3GS have higher chance of developing cracks?

    Compared with the black iPhone 3GS, do the white ones still have a higher chance of developing cracks?

    my last i phone was the 3G. It was dropped and the glass shattered. This time with the purchase of the 3GS, (I bought white) along with the incase protection case in black. Beautiful contrast. You have to be nuts not to buy a protective case. Dont believe those Youtube videos claiming the Iphone is indestructible. Its not.

  • White iPhone 3GS/4G

    I just upgraded to a white 3GS last month. I was wondering if it's possible to get a white iPhone 4 at christmas if it's out by then? Or will I not be eligible for an upgrade? I know that sometimes they let you pay a $18 upgrade fee to upgrade your iPhone if you're not eligible for an upgrade through AT&T.

    If you just bought an iPhone, you will not be eligible for a subsidized upgrade until late next year. You would be able to buy one if it comes out for the full unsubsidized price of $599/$699.
    The $18 is not a special upgrade fee to get a new iPhone. It's the price ATT charges to change your service whenever you buy any phone.

  • Should my 16GB White iPhone 3GS Get hot when using it?

    Got a White 16GB 3GS and been using it for a while, and it works great, no worries with it at all.
    But recently when i've been using it, its been getting really hot, and you can't really touch the back. Like this morning, i turned it on, snyc'd it with my Mac, then watched 15min of an Apple Keynote Podcast, and check twitter, and now its just sat playing music. And the back it really hot. And i've been using it for like 30min...
    Is this normal? What can i do about it?
    Simon

    Are you charging it while watching the podcast.
    Yes, they can get hot. But not hot to the point where you can not touch it. Of course, the other thing is your sensetivity to heat. Everyone has different tolerences. So it just kinda depends on what you think is too 'hot".
    playing just music shouldnt get hot. But multi-tasking could make it get hot.

  • Why won't iBooks on iPhone 3Gs play video on "enhanced edition" book?

    I recently downloaded Stephen King's "11/22/63" Enhanced Edition on iBooks for my iPhone 3Gs. The 13 minute film that comes with the download won't play at all. I'm running iOS 5 and my iBooks is 1.3.2

    Hi, bgrieb.  
    Thank you for visitng Apple Support Communities.  
    This sounds like these shows are in a HD format and are not supported on the iPhone 3gs.  I would recommend downloading the SD version of these shows and then sync these to your device.  
    iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
