“As has been suggested before, one of the main dilemmas is argued to have been getting the right paint thickness — specifically on the front panel, though, and in a way that doesn’t affect the proximity sensor or create light bleeds,” MacNN reports. “A complicating factor is said to be the need to silkscreen the paint on in a way that leaves a gap for the LCD.”
MacNN reports, “The back panel is thought to be fine as far as technical issues go, since there is no display to account for.”

The Boy Genius reports, “There is also reportedly an issue with the actual paint itself, which we’re told is silkscreened on the front glass. Apple has had to come up with a paint mix that will stay white and won’t discolor, flake, etc.”
“Our source let us know that Apple might have actually worked through these issues and that white iPhone 4s might not be so far away from shipping in the near future,” The Boy Genius reports. “Apple just probably left it open-ended so they wouldn’t crush expectations again.”

@ Ken1W –
Ahhh….. so by that rationale, you would be impressed by purely intelligent Trolls?
eh?
(just joking – of course)
“Who’s the more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him?”
Maybe he isn’t such a moron.
Seems like he got what he wanted: A good trolling windup of those who “get it”.
Really, we should chill out and leave the trolls alone, or at least MDN, should moderate obvious trolls. It’s difficult though to distinguish between trolls, morons and a true voice of dissent at times.
I think if one truly is dissenting, and wants dialogue however, they would refrain from inflammatory language.
@Murasaki
Here, here!
John
I second that. Sincerely. You say something(write something) and it is IMMEDIATELY followed by STFU…moron… Not “you’re off the mark” like someone who agreed and disagreed(thanks) like it should be. It’s that way at MDN Endgadget, intomobile. No whining… Just have to realize that some are still using Mommy’s electricity and flexing a bit. But I second that John! Here here!
@Mine: I caved after last Friday’s announcement and just got my iP4 Saturday. So I have 30 days to return or exchange right?
Yep. I tried 31 days after and it was a no-no. I was traveling and trip got delayed… They were not hearing it. 30 days is 30 days…. So I have no argument, but gheez.
I sincerely hope the white will address the issue. Not critical for me unless I move. We have 5 bars 3g in ATL area. (little rationalizing there)
@Future:
You’d be right except for the little matter of August being in the calendar. LOL
As the linked article says: “Lastly, we are told the reason the device isn’t perfectly white and is slightly discolored is that the binder Apple is/was using causes a slight off-color tint.”
Well, there you go. Yet another basis upon which some asshole can start a class-action lawsuit.
“Our plaintive was harmed, your honor, and Apple mislead all their customers because they advertised “white” but *actually* delivered ‘off-white‘.”
Dick holes.
If you had any reasonable basis for your original statements, you would then have received a more reasonable response.
@more lies,
Trolling with MS $ are we????? Many writers today are quick to post anti-apple articles…. just because they get hits. Research, thinking, quality writing, these things are lacking today. So when you attempt to join their ranks. especially in a place like this where people actually use and enjoy Apple hardware, well you would be asking for it.
Just a thought,

Oh, Jeez, don’t feed the trolls.
