White iPhone 4 delay due to light leaking out around the device
Share:
This article contains unofficial information.
Had the Cupertino based company used metal or plastic instead of glass, it could cover up the light using a simple coating. This cannot be used on glass which is a problem. Sprint has advertised its white EVO 4G phone as a potential substitute for those who really desire a white model, but this phone has also had some leakage problems along its seams, but not nearly as much as the iPhone 4 has had. The reason is that the HTC made EVO 4G uses a plastic material for the back of the phone, allowing the placement of a coating to block some of the light. Hopefully, Apple will be able to resolve this problem in time to ship some white iPhone 4 models before the end of the year.

Well if you grip it the right way the light should go away. Problem solved, now send out a million of em pronto.

As a self proclaimed Apple enthusiast...I even had to admit your post was hilarious...

Well, Gorilla Glass is awesome for not breaking, but this is hilarious. It's like Apple is playing a game of "Let's see how many stupidly simple bad design decisions we can make this time around, because we just don't give a fuck anymore. Oh, and give us your money." That's a long title for a game, though.

Clearly they do care because they are delaying the release of it so they can fix it. You sound like a fucking dumbass.

They could've gone with a different design which didn't use glass. Then they wouldn't have this problem to begin with.

Nice comeback, looks like you are running out of them fast man. Cmon, gimme a good excuse other than there are other phones out there. I expected more from you. Somebody is really trying hard to turn Apple into the next Sprint-Nextel. Now they are getting sued because of a faulty Ipad. Keep it up Apple! Time for a CEO change??????

So glad they haven't opted for white glass bumpers to solve the antenna issues. That would have just been REALLY embarrassing.
