For the dedicated (and crazy) few waiting for a white iPhone 4, relief may be on the way. The elusive device has found its way to AT&'Ta4‚¬a4„s online system, according to the mobile site Boy Genius Report, a sign that Apple may be gearing up to launch it within the next few months.
The news coincides with a report from last week about the white iPhone 4 appearing in Best Buya4‚¬a4„s employee toolkit, which revealed that it was scheduled to be in stock on February 27.
Now it appears that the white iPhone 4 will likely be available in March, which would fall in line with Applea4‚¬a4„s announced delay of the phone until Spring 2011. The device was delayed several times since the initial launch of the iPhone 4 in June 2010, and it was later revealed that a possible hardware flaw with the white case and the iPhonea4‚¬a4„s camera was the culprit.
The camera issue, along with the iPhone 4a4‚¬a4„s widely publicized antenna problem and potential trouble with sliding cases and its glass back, is a sign that Apple will have to come up with a radical new redesign for the iPhone 5. Apple just recently delivered the iPhone 4 to Verizon with only minor antenna changes for its CDMA network.
