Ondrej Holzman Last June, Apple presented the iPhone 4 at WWDC. The new generation of the Apple phone was to be sold in black and white. But the reality was different, production problems did not let the white iPhone 4 go on sale, and for ten months customers only received the black one. The long-delayed second color variant is only now available - Apple announced that the white iPhone 4 will go on sale today, on April 28. It won't miss the Czech Republic either.
In a statement, Apple announced the official start of sales, although some sources said that the white iPhone 4 was sold early in Belgium and Italy, as well as the 28 countries where the white model of the phone will visit on its first day.
In addition to the Czech Republic and, of course, the USA, the white iPhone 4 can also be enjoyed in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Macau, the Netherlands, New Zealand , Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand and England.
The price will remain unchanged, the white model will be available for the same amount as the black one. It will be offered overseas by both AT&T and Verizon.
"The white iPhone 4 is finally here and it's beautiful," gushed Philip Schiller, vice president of global product marketing. "We appreciate everyone who patiently waited while we worked out every detail."
What took Apple so long to tweak on the white iPhone, you ask? Phil Schiller admitted that the production was very challenging because it was complicated by the unexpected interaction of the white paint with several internal components. Schiller, however, in an interview for All Things Digital he didn't want to go into details. "It was difficult. It wasn't as simple as making something white." stated
The fact that Apple encountered certain problems during production is evidenced by a different proximity sensor (proximity sensor) than the one on the black iPhone 4. However, the differently designed sensor is the only element that distinguishes the white phone from its black brother. Apple also had to use significantly stronger UV protection for the white model compared to the original black.
However, as Steve Jobs noted, Apple tried to get as much as possible from the development of the white version and used the new knowledge, for example, in the production of the white iPad 2.
Will you also be able to afford a white iPhone 4, or will you be satisfied with an elegant black one?

I have a friend who is so paranoid that he will never reveal what he is working on, even if it were the most common thing. She always just asked how to solve a complex problem.
That's what Apple does themselves, and they're both fucking with me.
As if it were not above them..
I saw a white IPAD 2 and honestly in the white it looked like an ordinary Chinese product to me. Maybe it will be better on a smaller iPhone, but black is black…
I agree with Tom - the white iPad 2 is a plastic weird toy, the question is what will the white ip4 look like, I have it in black and am happy and should I get the white one now? when is ip4 coming in 5 months? ... well, let's see what else we can expect...
I really like the white iPhone 4, I prefer the white color to the ugly black that every cheap plastic phone has, but only because the iPhone 5 is coming out in a few months? I won't buy it until the next version is white, so then I'll go for it.
I have a white iPad 2 and I like it. Actually, it only has a white frame around the display, so it's not that much different from the black one.
I like the first comment. He is so magically Czech. :-D :-D :-D
Well, the whole of Apple could wake up and start making a lot of other colors. Even if He doesn't need it. People eat it up and will continue to eat it up. As I do.
The reason why they came up with the white iPhone only now is prosaic. They want to revive mid-cycle sales. It is almost not about any properties of the materials or UV filtering.
Personally, I don't like the white version at all. I just don't like the iPhone.
Today I bought a White 16gb for my friend and the call proximity sensor is more sensitive when approaching from the front during a call, otherwise the display turns slightly yellow, the same as with the black 32gb
if a hand approaches the top of the device, I react the same way
ATTENTION - the phone is not pure white - it is yellow - if you expect peak white, then no
It took so long for Steve to come up with this joke, so nothing much - just nothing for racists. For the white white to be…..
