Genuine white iPhone 4 spied in wild Want a white iPhone 4? Then find yourself a buddy at Apple's Cupertino campus. That's how one - probably the only - lucky US punter got his. The unnamed gent was spotted waving his white one around at an event in New York last night. A flabberghasted Geek.com reporter asked him where the heck he got it, assuming no doubt - as …
There was a suggestion (made by El Reg, if memory serves) that the white one would actually allow calls without first insulating one's fingers from the aerials. Any news on that?
In fact, any news on whether new black ones actually make phone calls without a condom? Despite attempts of persuasion to the contrary the (technically illiterate) other half wants one.
The colour back seems to be an eminent colour choice for most anything associated with Jobs. White proclaims innocence and purity, hardly qualities that spring to mind when thoughts of fruit-land and their domineering leader are in mind.
Of course, this might be the reason why it has taken such an inordinate time to achieve a white Lemon, which will undoubtedly become discoloured through exposure to the environment and usage.
It will be interesting to see if Apple has used the time between the release of the Lemon 4 and it's virginal edition to actually improve it's functional failures that are months and months old.
People should remember that thousands of freebie fruit samples are given out to people like Fry, as well as other personalities, who the greater buying public seek to emulate.
When Jobs copy-cat tablet hit retail all the A-list types had received their freebie samples so they would 'spontaneously' gush over the benefits of the latest fruits. From night shows through business channels they were chattering about The Tablet which, of course, generated a fever amongst those amongst us who have to pay the full freight to acquire one.
Next time manna from fruitland is expected, check out the TV shows and see how the chatter precedes the release date.
Cheaper and more effective than even Apples advertising channel.
apart from the nokia's that let you change the covers (which of course you had to buy separately) i'm pretty sure i've never had a phone that was available in a range of colours. I have seen the occasional model that is different colours from a different providers, but that's hardly a range, is it?
