Apple signage confirms the white iPhone “will be available Spring 2011″

By on December 5, 2010 at 2:39pm in Mobile News


At the end of October Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller stated that “We’re sorry to disappoint customers waiting for the white iPhone yet again, but we’ve decided to delay its release until this Spring”. Looks like it’s now confirmed that stores will be getting this long-awaited colour…. signage has started to arrive that says “The white Apple iPhone will be available Spring 2011″.

Hopefully by then the next generation of the iPhone will have leaked online. Anyway, will you be getting the white iPhone 4 when it drops or going for something else… like an Android, Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry or webOS device?

  1. White iPhones just don’t look right to me, anyone else feel this way?

  2. Since you have to put a case on those things anyway, who cares what colour it is?

  3. I’m sure white iPhones will still sell like hotcakes even if they are released on June 20th, the last day of spring. Every year, many people still feel shocked and angry that the iPhone that they bought in May is outdated in June or July because they are somehow unaware of the yearly release cycle.

    I bought an unlocked iPhone 4 when they became available on Apple’s site so I’ll be skipping the 5th generation, but after that, I’ll definitely want a white 6th gen! (Unless there’s an AMAZING qwerty Android/WebOS device out)

    • There is an amazing Android QWERTY device out right not. It’s called the HTC Desire Z. Next gen processor.

  4. That’s some serious manufacturing issues right there. It’s disappointing when large companies fail to deliver like this. But whatever, wasn’t gonna buy one anyways

  6. So let me get this straight, Apple is releasing a phone in spring of 2011 which is the same phone in 2010 with the only difference of it being color and MAYBE fixed hardware?!

    Let me remind the world that ANDROID phones that are coming out next year have Tegra 2 processors, HDMI ports, 1080p, 4-4.5 inch screen, better screen tech, more software services, Do I need to type more???

    Apple = EPIC FAIL!!!

  7. I think the white ones just look ghetto. And you can easily change the back plate on a black iPhone anyways- mine’s a metallic purple now, and my original black glass one is safely in my bedside table should my iPhone ever need service. It does make me feel better though knowing they won’t be coming out with a new iPhone until probably a year after they release the white one.

  9. Who cares, there are more important things in life than what colour my phone is?

  10. I agree with chall & tbr:

    I prefer REAL keyboards!

    For this reason I’m really not into IPhones,I love Androids for technical reasons although up-dates are frustrating and some Noklias are cool…however for overall use the BB’s are better and hopefully more improvement will come soon.

    As for colors white/pink is just irritating,however that doesn’t determine a good unit and if that is all you care about you have hidden problems you should seek help for…I just find it funny that some people dream about colors and wait for the launch date to get one.

  11. You can’t really tell what colour my iphone is because I have a case. It’s glass, yuo’d be stupid not to put a case on it or any other smartphone for that matter. As for the keyboard, it was the blackberry torch that made me switch to the iphone and I’m completely happy with it. I’ve been a loyal blackberry customer for past 6 years and experienced battery pulling thousands of times. With the iphone? Maybe a couple if that. It’s easy to get acclamated to virtual keyboard when you open your mind. I’m actually faster with it. Like my ipod, the iphone is a good solid product. I’m happy with it.

    • Most non-Apple smartphones are solid enough so that you don’t need a case. You might laugh at plastic, but it doesn’t break as easily as glass.

    • My Desire has an invisible shield on the screen, that’s it. It’s been 5 months and it still looks like new.

  12. Amazing. The number of suckers Apple has been able to wrangle is simply staggering. You’ve got people, a LOT of people, buying products with obsolescence actually built-in and now those same people, a LOT of those same people, are crowing about the already-obsolete product’s colour!

    Appleites know that a “new” iPhone is going to be coming out essentially a year later. The first iPhone came out in the beginning of 2007. It is now soon to be the beginning of 2011 and we’re on and already moving beyond the iPhone 4. And yet people continue to purchase this thing, some Appleites even buying it EACH “NEW” RELEASE. And all the while they convince themselves that this phone, built to become obsolete within mere years of its initial release, is a “good product.”

    What a group of deluded fools.

  13. The end of the artical mentiones all the OS’s out there except Symbian. I wonder why??

    Also, everyone that says that you need a case for a smartphone is just burning money, you don’t need one, just the marketing departments of the case manufactures are telling you that you need one.

    • The reason why Symbian is not on the list is that it will no longer be used on high end smartphones. Nokia has said that the platform they will use on high end smartphones will be Meego. Symbian will be relegated to the mid-range to low end smartphones.

      I use a holster for my smartphones for easy access to them. I use the same one for both my personal Android phone and my BB work phone. I don’t like putting it in my pocket. A holster is more secure.

  16. i think IF this mythical white iphone comes out in spring, youd be dumb to wait to get an iphone that will be obsolete in a month or two just for the white colour, at this point apple should just hold off on white till iphone 5 and like anybody cares (sane minded) what the colour is i put a red and black case on my ipod touch
