White iPhone spotted in New York, owner explains why it’s not yet available

SpiritHalloween.com“So there we were, in a lift at a press event in New York City, when we spotted a white iPhone 4 strutting its stuff in the hands of a mystery man,” Stuart Miles reports for Pocket-lint. “A bit of covert photography later, that would make even the ardent paparazzi proud, we managed to snap some shots of it in action.”

“While our inside man didn’t want to give his name, he did part with some very valuable information; information that we feel the urge to share,” Miles reports. “It turns out that One Infinite Loop (that’s Apple’s HQ in Cupertino) is swimming with white iPhones, and that he had a mate that ‘fixed him up’ with his. Why then, have you not been able to queue outside the Apple store of your choice to get one?”

Miles reports, “Well, according to our jacket wearing gent, Apple is having trouble getting its two suppliers in the Far East to match the white used in the manufacturing of the parts. The white home button colour doesn’t match the white front face plate colour, it turns out. Apple being the perfectionist that it is, isn’t happy with this and therefore isn’t happy to sell it to the general public, supposedly.”

  1. I want a white one. I also wish there was a bigger screen iphone to come. That is the one thing i dont like about the iphone. Even .5 in or something would be great. The 3.5in screen is hard to read for us old people.
