“Verizon will be exclusive with the White iPhone 4,” Tribble Ad Agency reports.
“Our sources have stated that Verizon will be making the full White iPhone 4 announcement, and as we stated earlier, the White iPhone will only be on the Verizon network,” Tribble reports. “Also as what we noted before, it will be going for $199 with a 2 year contract.”

Ah, the Mythical Beast is sited once again!.
I doubt it. Whitie will be on both. That would be a slap in ATT’s face which Apple won’t do.
And why is that? Because ATT has been such a good partner (e.g., SMS fees, metered data, and changing iPad pricing 30-days after introduction?).
“That would be a slap in ATT’s face which Apple won’t do.”
in case you hadn’t noticed, everything that happens in the next 2 weeks is going to be a huge slap in the face to ATT. in other words, this kind of thing would be perfect.
Take another look at the low-end Macbook (and the white iPhone 3G) and tell me Apple doesn’t know how to make a white device.
isn’t this stuff obvious?
Maybe they found a breach in the contract with ATT that states the black iphone, and they will sell the white one to verizon 1 year before the exclusivity contract finish with ATT. so next year you’ll have both iphones everywhere 😀
don’t you love conspiracy theories ? ><
@mike
neither of the white devices you mentioned are made of glass.
If Vzn only has white, total sales will be hurt.
Be careful about your incendiary speech about slaps on the face. You may offend some asswipe infantile New York Times slug editorialist who will want you to ‘turn the noise down’
It’s so funny to read these Verizon-related comments here. It is as if there is no world beyond US borders.
Verizon is one of over hundred wireless carriers that may (or may not) be selling the iPhone. All other carriers of the world that currently have the iPhone are selling identical version of it. There is NO exclusivity with respect to features, appearance, design or any other aspect of the device.
If Verizon does get the iPhone, the only difference between that model and the one on AT&T (or any other GSM carrier in the world) will likely be the CDMA chipset inside. Apple definitely does NOT need to make a dangerous precedent by somehow designating a single wireless carrier special, or better than others.
If the white one comes to Verizon, it will immediately (or very soon thereafter) be available on AT&T, as well as in other markets around the world.
I know Apple can make white products because they put white Apple logo decals in the boxes of their various products.

None of this is a slap in ATT’s face. ATT knew exactly when it’s exclusive agreement ended, and has been preparing for it.
Don’t forget, ATT bought into the iPhone without seeing it. Verizon shunned Apple. ATT also jumped inboard with the no-contract iPad plan. So ATT has been a great partner for Apple, and Apple would not screw ATT.
ATT’s coverage issues stem mainly from EVERYONE’s total underestimation of the iPhone’s popularity, in particular how much data iPhone users would consume compared with any other phone. There’s just been nothing like it.
I’ll happy after this afternoon, maybe we can finally get some peace. I am tired of the rumor mill and Verizon
The iPhone has a wifi hotspot , so no need for any card or extra money, I use my wifi to run my iPad and it’s awesome!!! AT&T rules !!!!!!! Apple rules!!!!! Hope verizon enjoys the iPhone, but the carrier is second , the product is the first, so let’s hear what the verizon company has to say today
that is BS
come on
As long as the damn thing isn’t brown or hot pink, I’ll be buying one.
Make that two. One for the wife (and hot pink would probably be fine in that case).
The white iPhone exclusive to Verizon was Cringely’s 2nd or 3rd prediction from last week. So, it has now become a rumor?
Apple won’t slap ATT for taking the risk when this all started by rewarding the big “V” with Whitie exclusivity. So far the White one is like a Snipe. If it comes out, it will be on both carriers.
maybe apple might actually have tested this one properly before its released
why even bother with the white iphone 4 now anyway its 7 months late.
Ok it might do well in the US because you have just the one network so anyone holding out for verizon gets to choose what colour they want – that i get, but anyone else that wanted an iphone 4 is likely to have already have one (the vast majority) especially in places like the UK where you can get an iphone on any major network
i broke my bumper this week and the signal is a joke and its still doing the stupid mute thing, i love my iphone but sick of its problems cant wait to ditch it for iphone 5 which will hopefully have learnt some lessons.
Might as well roll out the black MacBook while they’re at it.
This is the most stupid thing I’ve heard. Also, who like the white iPhone?
I highly doubt this and look at Apple’s store for the iphone 4. There it is and has been for months……in white.
@bizlaw & Predag
Yes & yes. Exactly right.
@Ballamer’s left nut
YEAH!
The black MacBooks look way more ninja than the white “hey! I’m an obvious target” white ones. It would let steve jobs have a chance to use those shruiken he picked up because no one would be able to see him or his MacBook! XD
that sucks 🙁
gah Verizon is retarded, I can’t believe apple is doing this >:|
