Apple starts free case program, delays white iPhone 4 yet again

23 July, 2010
Apple started today the iPhone 4 free case program as promised. The whole procedure is done via a dedicated app directly from the phone. Meanwhile Apple quietly delayed the white iPhone 4 until the end of the year.

    any true Apple Fan would NEVER consider it.

    Think of following your favorite team here, if they sell your team colors shirt made in china, I'd still like to purchase the original one as you know the money goes to help people in need. I'm sure Apple is doing to the same, about helping the community.

      Some businesses ban the use of loud radios for safety reasons.
      Imagine working in a port with shipping containers been moved.
      Having a radio going is very serious and increases the accident risk
      as another example of why i don't want or need a radio.

      People keep talking about the iphone not been true multitasking as well. Ever thought why that was done?
      Probably more for Iphone3 first. Try running programs at once your battery goes down hugely. The Battery life in the iphone4 has improved to the point, certain programs take advantage of this, like GSP.Some programs you don't want to be , because i guess it was a trade off in terms of battery use, not that the system is incapable of doing it. Its a A4 chip, which is like amazing and stuff.

      After rejecting Samsungs screen for less optical performance (Apple Insider) and, one of my greatest moments was hearing screen described the greatest screen even on a true smart phone.Others have yet to catch up to the optical level.

        I'm not sure if this topic has come up before but, iphone 4 will be released next week in my country (only unlocked versions are sold in my country, which i heard is quite rare). Anyways, I can't help to notice what happens to iphones purchased after the 30th Sept? (free cases given only upto that date). Has Apple made some hardware changes that will only be applied to the ones sold after that date? or is this something to do with the world wide release of iphone 4 which is romoured to be around September??

            The invention of Jailbreaking is mega huge kick in the face for everything Apple and Steve Jobs stands for.. Steve and Apple hates jailbreaking and jailbreakers more than anything else in the world..

            And yet... iFans are doing it like it's best thing that ever happened.. It makes you wonder what just happens to the "but Steve Jobs said" argument evertime they Jailbreak??

            Pathetic to say the least...

              iPhone4fan has such funny comments, i just cant stop laughing. If those "reasons" why things are kept from iphone would be true, that would be excellent showcase, how iphone users dont want to use what they want but that what somebody tells them to use.

              the comment about not hearing a fire alarm while listnening radio - this must be the funniest thing ever on the web, specially cause it applies to a multimedia device.

              I surely hope, that "true fan of Apple" keeps posting them remarks, cause they are just hillarious. Was reading some jokes in the net, but this is much better way to sped my time!

                  Every feature that is included or excluded from Iphone are ways to force you BUY only from Apple.
                  - No radio because you have to buy music from Apple not to listen it for free; you must to be retarded not to think that you can miss the fire alarm as well when you play your “paid-to-Apple” media;
                  - No USB (USB cable=2$) = you must carry your expensive Apple cable with you;
                  - no Bluetooth because you can transfer media and apps for free, and again this must be bought from Apple;
                  - *.mov format is an Apple standard, you can find media in this format it only on Apple sites, nobody else uses it, again buy *.mov media from Apple;
                  - Would you prefer to buy another phone when your battery starts to fail?
                  - Also you can download games and applications in flash for free from some sites, why not buy them from Apple?
                  - Why not to pay a few hundred dollars for storage space instead of buying it for a few bucks?
                  - If you want a video call... tell your friend to buy a iPhone 4, not to our profit, we just want you to have a good time;
                  - Multitasking = less battery time, iPhone Multitasking = less battery time than less battery time;
                  - And the virus excuse... it is so lame, have you heard about an iPhone virus?!!

                  HTC, Samsung, Nokia, Moto and the rest must be stupid to do bring all of this in their phones.
                  If Apple would let people download and play mp3’s, mp4’s, and listen to radio they would go broke.

                      Little hard to keep up with the points, Steve's reasons seem very valid,
                      and i'm not the only that agrees wit Steve.
                      Quicktime format produces very good quality and he's right in saying DivX is just a pirate and high risk of virus.
                      How many movies are pirated in quicktime, burn

                      The Phone comes with software for the camera.


                      You guys should subsribed to Apple insider news, don't just disrespect Steve

                        they just purposely delay the launching date of white apple iphone so that more people will buy it by pre-order and more profit for them at the same time....because as we all know pre-order item is always more expensive....

                          white one is delayed apparently because of difficulties within the manufacturing process

                          apparently isn't fact. They have to produce the black iphone4 for 100s
                          of country's i don't any prove they're stopping just the white one
                          for this so called antenna issue.

                          Why not delay shipping the black model to other countries then?
                          They haven't, because there is no reason to stop production.

                                    he is a businessmen who manipulate weak minded consumer with his sales pitch.... it sound like he is thinking about the consumers safety for not making features like removable battery, usb data transfer, card slot, fm radio etc.... his main purpose is restrictions and profits. he is a control freak, it got so bad he even tells you hold the phone. removable battery option will cost consumer around 3-4x more money to replace than most manufacturers (and you have to wait for a week), no data transfer cos he wants to make more money on itune (not allowed to share your friends and family photos via bluetooth?), no card slot cos he wants you to pay almost quadruple the costs just to add another 16gb memory upgrade (IP4 32gb cost £100 more than the 16gb version.... sandisk 16gb SDHC micro cost £22 plus P+P)

                                    all hail steve n0b...... he thinks about the consumers before his big fat bonus.... honest
