When the iPhone 4 was made available for preorder in the USA, only the black model 16/32GB was available. On launch day, once again, only the black iPhone 4 was available for sale. The white iPhone 4 has been “coming soon” for a long time and has not been seen very often.
This week, a series of photos showing Apple’s white iPhone 4 have been revealed. The device exists after all!
The photos showcase the box, which is exactly the same as the black iPhone 4 box except that the photo on the front is of a white iPhone. Other photos include various device shots and a quick photo of the iPhone 4 dock.
How this individual received a white iPhone 4 is unknown, but it looks legitimate.
At the end of June, Apple announced that availability of white iPhone 4 models will be delayed until the second half of July due to manufacturing challenges. In other words, both the black and white iPhone 4 models should be available for sale for Canada’s launch later this month.

The articles on this blog are becoming worthy of yahoo news. That was useless. Don't write just for the sake of writing.
The white one doesn't look all that bad to be honest.
Would love a story on a legit date for when its going to be released in Canada. Sick of this waiting.
Which colour does everyone prefer? White or black??
The girlfriend wants white. I could care less. I'll probably stick to my 3GS black.
White iPhone looklike Nokia mobile
I am Thai I want to buy iPhone in CA
What is day iPhone launch in CA
I am Canadian and we don't know when it comes out in Canada. It's already released in California though.
Thank you
July 23rd I can buy iPhone to home OR pre-order
White is way too “lady-like” for me. Black is where it's at!!
We're not sure at all.
Apple and Bell store employees are being trained on July 14th and are being told not to take July 23rd off.
It could be release, it could be pre-order. I believe release.
Thank you (ขà¸à¸šà¸„ุณครับ)
I have completely changed my mind. I cannot people are still anxious to get this on launch after all huge Flaws and Defects. Just wait a couple of months folks… what good is defective iphone on launch day.
I am having such troubles deciding between black and white. I liked having a white 3GS, but I don't know how I feel about the white front on the iPhone 4…
<sigh> decisions, decisions…
I think most of the bugs are in iOS4, which is disappointing but a software update will fix that.
The antenna issue is easily fixed with a case that I'd be buying anyway, just like I did for my 3GS. I know some people don't use cases but it's the worlds thinnest smart phone, it wont hurt to put something around it to protect it and make it work better.
The antenna / reception issues have me worried. To clarfiy, does the reception problem go away if the iPhone 4 is in a case ie. leather case / silicon case?
Yes. It has been proven that a case that prevents you from touching the steel on the outside rim of the iPhone 4 will remove the issue that people are having with the antennae.
In Thailand No problem with antenna
Thanks 🙂
I had a white HTC Touch and used the invisible shield on it and with all the in and out of my pocket/belt carrier it became obviously dirty around the edges of the shield. That and the shield pieces started to curl and pull away from the phone. Not trying to dis the shield. That is one tough piece of plastic but it just didn't work as I'd expected. Sorry, Gary. 🙁
Probably go black, although I dig the white. Maybe get the invisible shield for front and back then throw a quality case that doesn't hide the phone too much. Don't know if I like the bumper idea though. Just seems to cover it in a most unattractive way.

Agreed, Adam.
Seriously. If they're getting their people ready next week and it appears a July 23rd launch is targeted why the delay in just saying the date?
een
Agreed. I have a white 3G and love it. But something about the White Iphone 4 I don't like. I'll probably go black this time.
Thats how I feel. Why not just give us the date. I want to book off the mornign from work to stand in line lol.
@ Adam,
I agree, I'm hoping to pick it up on the first week. I want the white one!
But it's like… everyone has a black one and so getting the white one is a way to be a least a tad original… If only Apple would make me a florescent orange one… Or better yet, make me a ninja turtle themed iPhone! Where's is my iTurtleCom damnit?!
I have had a white phone ever since I got my first phone. white phones show dirt so much easier than any other. go with black 🙂
I know its not something that happens before in Canada, but anyone think there will be a pre-order before the 23. I seriously doubt the pre-order is the 23, because of the training emails i saw it wouldn't make sense if its just for the internet personnel. i would really like to get my iphones on launch but don't really want to buy them directly from apple because two phones will set me back a grand, and i dont mind a three year contract.
If there is a transparent bumper or case which does not affect the beautiful design (silver + black) then it would be perfect!! Having a big thick bright orange or green rubber band around the iphone 4 totally obscure the design imho…
Apple would never go with Wild colours like that. its black or white for them.. nothing else.
What the hell? When are they going to set a release date for Canada?!! How could they still not have any info??
…I was being facetious.
Actually, that's what I'd like to do too. I normally don't do stuff like that but at least once I want to be in the line at the Apple store early in the morning and participate in the Apple Love Fest that seems to happen every time they release a new product like that. 🙂
I DON'T CARE. I WANT AN IPHONE 4. I WANT THE ONE WITH THE WIFIS
AND THE BIGGER GEE-BEE'S!
LOL!
I like the look of the white best, but aside from the potential dirt, I'm more concerned that pictures and video won't show up as well next to the white border as it would on the black due to contrast.
Hey alex_sebenski … You would be buying a case? I though you said in your previous post that “I'll probably stick to my 3GS black”. Where are you going to use the iPhone 4 case?
My girlfriend will get a case. She has an old phone so I'll get her an iPhone 4 and case.
The antenna issue is not “easily fixed” with a case. Even with a case there are issues; a case might lessen the issues — MIGHT — but they'll still exist.
Plus you shouldn't have to use a case to “make it work better.” It should work without a case, period.
I agree. In fact, i am afraid for IP5…afraid they will lose the metal and glass and go back to plastic :((((–so get IP4:)))!!!!
I wish there were a button in Disqus to “Dislike” comments.
ARE YOU HAPPY? YOUR F**K**G STUPIDITY HAS KILLED ME. NOW MY G**DAMN CAT IS HOMELESS! I'M NO LONGER ALIVE. I'M DEAD.
Love that video clip.
I NEED A WHITE ONE. DOES IT COME WITH A CASE? CAN YOU WAIVE THE ACTIVATION
FEE?
White is nice but attracts dirt easily. Especially if your'e using a skin like the invisibleSHIELD. The dirt shows up.
Honestly I think it'll be different with networks in Canada. AT&T in the past 3 years has had more iPhone data users than any other country. Their 3G networks have been pillaged and ransacked by Apple fans.
HELLO? HELLO? F**K IT, SISTER TOLD ME WALGREENS HAVE SOME. GOODBYE.
LOL!
(laughing uncontrollably)
WHERE IS THE IPHONE4?!!
In my basement
Just out of curiosity… why would someone need to be trained on releasing a phone? New phones come out all the time, is there training for every phone?
Also, where did you hear this information?
For the record I'm not bashing you. I'm genuinely curious.
You will be able to buy your iPhones ON CONTRACT (Rogers/Telus/Bell) from Apple.
Bada Bing Bada Boom.
(No idea about the possibility of the pre-orders though).
