Today, I was burned by this Qrank question: “Apple has delayed the launch of the white iPhone 4. Why?” I answered because of a manufacturing defect in the hardware, but the answer Qrank wanted was that Apple was unhappy with the color. I suppose both are true, but only as much as the iPhone 4’s ivory veneer (and its reportedly associated light leak) counts as a “color” and not a “hardware defect.”
Either way, 9to5Mac just posted this great video of a white iPhone 4 unboxing, the origins and appropriation of the elusive handset still being unknown.
It certainly seems to be legitimate and not just a skinjob, but it raises maddening questions about the imminency of the white iPhone 4’s launch: if the videographer had chosen to film the white iPhone 4 in the dark, we’d be able to tell if Apple had fixed its production problems related to light seepage in the white iPhone 4, and therefore be able to predict whether or not this would be hitting AT&T Apple.com soon. In the meantime, we just have to speculate, and hope that this is just the first of a veritable deluge of white iPhone 4 unboxings that you and I will experience sooner rather than later.
