  1. This is mixed news for me. I was hoping the whites would be in the stores tomorrow in limited quantities. So I’m bummed I won’t be getting a white tomorrow.

    On the brighter side, I’ll get the black tomorrow and can buy a white one later in July. It’s like having two Apple Summer Christmases! And this on top of my iPad birthday.

    Apple keeps on giving!

  2. I think that there’s a wire mesh window above the earpiece to camo the sensors and that was the issue. They either changed it or had problems getting the different front piece. That’s my thoughts.

  3. I like the black one better because when the display is off, the whole front side looks like a black slate; it looks like the whole front surface might be the screen. On the white one, the rectangle of the screen is obvious, so it does not look as elegant.

    But as usual, some people just want what’s harder to get. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />

  4. I thought about holding out for a white one, but I got to thinking about the home button. I could imagine finger gunk getting around it making for an unsightly ring.

    That was my excuse for having to have one right now, anyway ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />
