Peter Binder Many articles have already been written about the white version of the latest iPhone model. There is still speculation as to when and if it will even officially arrive on the market for regular customers to buy. But now it is possible to buy a white iPhone 4. Sold in China!
Server & Hosting GizChina brought the news that white iPhone 4s are unofficially being sold in China. However, these are not ordinary copies, as we have seen in other cases. These are officially packaged phones, the packaging of which also contains the warning "the device is intended for internal company use, not for sale". This means it is a gray market.
Also very interesting are the prices, which are very high above those of the available black variant. For the 16 GB version, you will pay from 5500 Yuan (roughly $828) to 8000 Yuan (roughly $1204), which are very exorbitant prices. You can calculate for yourself how much the 32GB version of the white iPhone 4 would cost. The phones have iOS 4.1 installed and are locked to AT&T.
"Grey" sales is a big problem that Apple is dealing with. In 2008, over 1,4 million iPhones were reportedly sold unofficially worldwide. Since then, of course, this number has grown a lot, which the current range of white iPhone 4s is currently showing.
You can see photos of the phone in its packaging and unwrapped below the article. What do you say to this problem? Would you be willing to pay the above amounts just for the color white?

So I'm lucky that I don't need white color very much. And if I already wanted the White iPhone, I would approach the guy who made 40k USD selling those spare parts, which is probably better. :)
But otherwise over $800 or $1200? It almost hit me when I read it.
You probably wouldn't be able to do that anymore. ;-)
Anyway, I'm a fan of white Apple things, I don't want aluminum Macbooks because I don't like them (it's a shame that the white version isn't a little better equipped), and I would definitely take a white iPhone 4. But not at that price and not blocked on AT&T. If I go white, then only with us, because after all, the warranty is a nice thing and I have experience with iPhone 3G and 3GS complaints.
Well, just FYI, you would void your warranty. The rear can be replaced without any problems, but to replace the front, you have to take out practically all the internals and thus break the warranty seal, so I don't know about you, but I wouldn't go for it...
Purely theoretically, after the end of the warranty in CR, if I somehow procured it and found someone smarter, let's say, to exchange it for me, why not.
Theoretically :), otherwise I don't want white with me.
Xenon, if you can count? if not, at least try a calculator on your iPhone, because 800 USD is converted into our currency, roughly 14500, so the price is not high compared to the prices at which it is sold in our country :)
And what do you need 1200 USD? Something over 21? Haven't you figured that out yet? Even presto of 000 is not much different from our prices, I could have had it cheaper here with the fact that I subscribed to O800 for two years. To get the price down as much as possible.
I am a student, although I take money from wherever possible, but every liter is important to me. Probably not for you, huh? Everyone is different, obviously.
Vlada should have information about whether the Bela's iPhone is some future ofiko version or is it one of the indicators that the Bela are not yet fit...and the price is not so bad...
It can be said that Apple has only himself to blame for this. They lure people to look forward to a white iPhone and then silence on the footpath. So I can't give Thumbs up for this deal.
