Finally: white iPhone 4 arrives April 28 on AT&T and Verizon
Behold: the white iPhone 4. Apple has lastly announced the long-overdue unit will probably be readily available on Thursday, April 28 in Apple retail outlets, Apple's on the internet shop, AT&T stores, Verizon retailers, and "select" Apple Authorized Resellers.
Apple first announced the white iPhone four back in early June 2010 during the annual Worldwide Developers Conference. At the time, the company said it would be readily available at the same time as the black iPhone 4-late June-but then problems began cropping up. Apple never confirmed any of the rumors surrounding the white iPhone's delay-some said it was due to white paint issues and/or mismatching paint between the phone and the home button. The company did announce several times, however, the device's launch would be delayed due to various manufacturing "challenges." Eventually, the company pushed the launch to spring of 2011.
The January launch of the Verizon iPhone came and went with no white device to be seen, though rumors began popping up once again in February that Apple planned to roll it out soon. It all came to a head this month as seemingly everyone on earth saw or heard about the white iPhone popping up in retail outlets, and now, the day has arrived.
“We appreciate everyone who has waited patiently while we’ve worked to get every detail right," Apple senior VP of Worldwide Product Marketing Phil Schiller said in a hilariously coy statement.
According to Apple, the white iPhone four is indeed the same system as the black iPhone four that was released in the summer of 2010, coming in 16GB and 32GB flavors. The 16GB version is going to be offered in the US for $199 (with two-year contract on either AT&T or Verizon), while the 32GB version might be $299. And it won't just be readily available in the US starting April 28 either-Apple says the white whale is also coming to Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Macau, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, UK
