White iPhone 4 Release Soon? Delays Related to Color Matching
Many a prospective buyer of the iPhone 4 at its release were sorely disapppointed when the white version was announced delayed due to issues with manufacturing. As the weeks dragged on, people generally went with the black not knowing exactly when they would get their chance at the white version. As it turns out, the manufacturing issues were related to the color matching of the parts – specifically the case/screen and home button. It sounds like a trivial thing but rest assured this would have been a major bone of contention with consumers who picked one up. Reportedly, Apple is now flush with inventory and a release could be imminent but nothing has been substantiated by Apple.
Pocket-lint reports that it recently spotted an iPhone 4 user at a New York City press event sporting a white iPhone, which Apple has yet to publicly launch. While a number of users have created their own white iPhone 4s by replacing parts on their black iPhones with white ones from Asian suppliers, this user claims that his device is a legitimate white iPhone 4 secured for him by a friend at Apple.
