As our extensive KIRF library shows,
China's one wild country that can make almost anything you
don't want, so don't mind us while we inspect this new finding with extra caution. This particular Chinese online seller not only claims to have parts for the
next-gen iPhone, but also one white face plate -- something not seen on iPhones thus far. While we drool over the thought of an all white Apple handheld, there are still questions to be answered here: the seller wasn't able to explain what that silver bit above the speaker is, nor have we seen white back plates to match this. Furthermore, we were given a "maybe" for a bulk order of 15 to 20 units, which is quite a lot for something that's not even out yet, but we were told over the phone that there's always a back door to
Foxconn as long as you wave cash at someone. Not that you should engage in such risky business, plus this piece's authenticity will be revealed in about
three weeks' time, anyway. One more shot after the break.
[Thanks,

@JONNNathannn Black and White, what more could you ask for. I guessing color...
@JONNNathannn
Yes, they've never offered more than one color befo- Oh wait. Yes they have. I guess you've been living under a rock for a while.
White is clean.
@derekdevine white is racism
@JackBauer Stop making it racial. Caucasians aren't even white, they're a pinkish hue.
Yo, an all white iPhone to go wit my all white car and all white clothes would be TITE, yo.
White revolution!
Ill that white one looks FUGLY....
But then again the prototypes that have been "leaked" also look fugly so all is in accordance.
If it's HPlam it will make a Vivienne Tam edition Pre.
... and all the copy-cat phone makers are now scrambling to introduce their OWN white phones.
"Oh, Apple is doing it?? Copy! Copy! Copy!"
I wonder if Apple introduced a Purple phone, would all the uncreative gadget-makers copy that design too??
:rolleyes:
@Hazdaz
(I'll finish your comment for you...)
.../s
Imagine this thread if we didn't know what the iPhone looks like, we would be trying to figure out the look of the device lol. So sad.
The asians are messing with you guys...haha jk.
pretty sure they will have a white one and charge more cause its made from fairy tears and you that would coast you a pretty penny!!
@Seven2k
The white and black iPhone 3GSes cost the same, so you are basing a cost difference on absolutely nothing. Thanks for playing though.
@Jack
hey jack the iphone 3g is only in black the iphone with more gbytes comes in white and black and is called 3gs. Thanks for playing though! =)
@Seven2k
You just reiterated exactly what I said. The black and white iPhone 3GSes cost the same. Do you need glasses or something? You were trying to say that with the new iPhone 4G, that the black and white ones would be priced differently.
Which is completely stupid on your part since there is no precedent for the same model of iPhone costing different amounts for different colors. Thanks for playing though.
@Seven2k You're still wrong. 3G also came in white when it was the current model.
@Jack
hey dumbshit there is no iphone 4g. Say it right ..4 GEN. iphone. ATT doesnt have 4g yet. THe iphone 3G is only in black the iphone 3GS come in white and black and cost more.
@Oghowie
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone?mco=OTY2ODA2OQ not anymore!
@Oghowie
talking about now.......maybe it idid back then...thanks for the clarification and correction....sorry about that
@Seven2k
Nice, calling me a dumbshit because I'm pointing out how you are juxtaposing two separate circumstances on top of each other.
First of all, obviously I don't know what the phone is called yet. It hasn't been announced. So correcting me on what its name is is actually incredibly stupid of you.
Second, when the 3G was the top of the line iPhone it came in black and white. Both cost the same.
Third, when the 3GS came out, it came in black and white. Both cost the same.
Fourth, the 3G and the 3GS ARE NOT THE SAME PHONE. If you think storage is the only difference, you're an idiot.
Fifth, there has never - EVER - been a case where one color of iPhone, per model, has cost more than another color of the same model.
Sixth, you said: "pretty sure they will have a white one and charge more cause its made from fairy tears and you that would coast you a pretty penny!!"
indicating that you think Apple will charge more for a white 4G iPhone (yes, that means fourth gen) than a black one. Which is stupid of you.
Seventh, there is no precedent for what you're suggesting. At all.
Eighth, because you're obviously having trouble understanding this, the 3GS costs more than the 3G, regardless of color, because it's a DIFFERENT MODEL.
If you're still confused about this, you may need to revisit grade school.
@Jack
damn get a life and learn how to take a joke. What a f-in breakdown...haha cant help but laugh at you. Go get a girl!
@Jack
Well played with essay. It's really irritating how many people bitch when you call it 4G.
@Seven2k
Jokes are supposed to be funny...
@Seven2k
Yeah, that's what I thought. Come again, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
@Jack
No worries..people dont call it iphone 4g..they call it next-gen iphone. But thats ok.
You are too funny man...."thats what you thought.." i thought you only think with Steve lets you! HAHAHA See ya chief!
Typical white phone...
Dear Engadget,
After age 2, our fascination with different colored things ended. Can you please stop running headliners or mentioning drool in regards to different colored phones?
@PresidentObama
We need CHANGE and HOPE!!!
@Seven2k
We need a WinMo president!!! Ugly and awkward but capable, open, and honest! Down with the slick packaging!
@ssgadget
nah bro...Apple is turning into the Bush administration....im waiting for them to say that Adobe has weapons of mass destruction!! And they try to kill The Woz.
@PresidentObama He is the son of a white iPhone from AT&T and a black Droid from Verizon!
So, with a white face plate, what colour are the sides and back? I'm all for white iPhones, but white with aluminium edges? I'm not so sure.
It makes sense to me.
One for jacob one for the man in locke.
opening for the light sensor?
White, front? I don't know if that is going to end up looking tackey or clean. I'm so used to the sleek look of the all black front. We'll see right guys?
hmm not bad actually
Yes Yes, I'll mos def buy the all white iPhone. Needs that in my life. My 3G is done for. About that time to upgrade. 3 weeks and counting...
Why do we not think the space above the speaker is for the proximity and ambient light sensors?
Weren't they rumored to be moved to that exact spot once we heard about front-facing cameras?
Yes, they are masters of stealing things (but I have yet to see anything of a good quality produced by Chinese companies - not by Chinese departments of Western companies.) Still, I wouldn't immediately believe they have real thing. I almost see these guys laughing on those trusting dumb Western people...
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!...
im done with my iPhone.. im switching to Android... WAAAAY TOO MUCH PUBLICITY!
I can buy a white iphone 3gs 16GB here.
Could someone PLEASE help me find where to buy these.
Not so good with the character languages....
