White iPhone 4 anyone?
The iPhone 4 is one of the most sought after smart phones on the planet. But where is the promised white iPhone 4? I like to think it was never to be made in the first place, all along Apple yanking the general public’s chain and getting some free press out of it. Just last week the world got to see the dawn of a new iPad, the iPad 2. Surprisingly enough the new iPad 2 comes in black and white from the opening gate. So a white iPad is manageable, while the smaller little cousin is literally impossible. New, news on this unicorn of a smart phone has surfaced via Twitter and it is some good news.
Over the weekend a white iPhone 4 hunter was on Twitter, searching for the mythological creature Steve Erwin style. Surprisingly enough the young unicorn hunter actually stirred up some pretty good news. After being delayed twice by Apple publicly, and then pretty much going silent since Apple’s Philip Schiller broke the silence via Twitter. When asked “how do I get a white iPhone?” by the fearless hunter, Philip Schiller tweeted “The white iPhone will be available this spring (and it is a beauty!).” Schiller in case you were wondering is the senior vice president of product marketing for Apple. Pretty sure that should be as official as it comes outside of a press release. But I feel like we have heard this all before. Maybe not from Schiller and maybe not off the cuff on a high profile Twitter account but, all I can think of is this funny little video below by Hoggworks Studios. Fair warning on the language!
So there you have it folks this spring. If my calculations are correct this means the white iPhone 4 should show up within March 21st and June 21st. A bit of a stretch, I know but he said spring. I’m looking forward to the announcement of the white iPhone so we can all move on with our lives. Now if only a Sprint iPhone black or white existed, guess that’s another hunt all together. Are you looking for a white iPhone 4? Were you one of the few that opted to wait it out for the white version? Do Schillers words make you quiver with excitement? Be sure to sound off below!

Following news yesterday that the white version of the Apple iPhone 4 will now be delayed until the spring of next year, rumours have been rife around the true cause of the handset’s continued postponement with latest reports pointing towards a camera issue.
The official word from Apple on the heavily delayed lighter-hued handset is that the white device is: “more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected”. However, new reports suggest that the Steve Jobs headed company has in fact been suffering degraded images from the device’s onboard 5-megapixel snapper.
Attributed to light leakage, the issue, apparently prominent when using the device’s flash, revolves around the handset’s semi-translucent glass covering and bright white tone which is resulting in drastically over-lit and whited out images.
The information, which came from an anonymous tipster with “connections to Apple”, could see the white skinned iPhone 4 delays continue for some time as the fruity tech giant battles against re-design limitations.
With the iPhone 5 expected to follow Apple’s annual product cycle ritual and be unveiled in June, questions are now being raised around the white iPhone 4 being delayed indefinitely, with focus instead being shifted to mastering the white production process for version 5 of the market leading smartphone.
Has the continued and seemingly endless delays for the white iPhone 4 deterred you from waiting for the lightly coloured handset? Let us know
