White iPhone 4's SKU deleted from the Apple Store, the elusive handset may never see the light of day
Share:
9 to 5 Mac reports that the Apple Store went down at midnight EST and a quick glance at the Apple system at that time revealed only one noticeable difference compared to what was previously displayed - the white iPhone 4's SKU wasn't there. The store is up as we speak, but the SKU in question is still missing and there is no new SKU for the elusive handset, hence a logical conclusion is born - probably the white iPhone 4 will never be released.
Of course, it could mean it's to be launched very soon with a new SKU, but, as of now, there are no indications this is the case. All in all, it seems much more likely that Apple has scrapped their plans to release the white version of the iPhone 4.
This runs contrary to what we have heard from Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing and Steve Wozniak, an Apple icon - they claimed the white iPhone 4 is to be released in either Q1 or Q2 of this year.

I agree, I think Apple should focus their attention on the new Iphone 5. The ipone 4 has already run its course. We really need significant impovements and not a basic upgrade!

Okay- I do not get it. I admit it. I am lost. Why is it so hard to come out with a phone, I don't care what kind or manufacturer, that is a different COLOR??? I understand the material has to meet certain standards, but.... it isn't being smelted from white Gold is it? What is the hard part here? Again- no sarcasm (okay, a little sarcasm), but I am truly asking- what is the hold up? Did it have some software/hardware upgrades included?

In prototypes, the white parts kept getting discolored, so after a short while of use, they looked brownish-white. I think it was caused by heat of the chips and screen

I admit the white one looks cooler and more like a piece of 60's scifi kitch, but don't most people put cases on them anyway?

if its for At&t it wouldn't matter, because the necessity of a case to prevent death grip would hide the white

Guess it took too long to iron out the white pigmentation issues in the gorilla glass.
