The white iPhone 4 is thicker, won't fit in some cases

29 April, 2011
Lately there isn't a single new Apple gadget that won't disappoint the users in some way. The white iPhone 4 was delayed with 10 months and now when it's out the users report it's thicker than the black one...

    I think - Apple is the only and only example of making every one fool around the globe in 21st Century. Apple will be in history and will be mentioned by people like me as company who has made every one fool using there technology. What material rocket science - apple is - so called "Perfect" then everything needs to be perfect. So how come diff thickness and controversy of diff thickness in different country.

    Anyways, people do become fool for fashion and company like apple makes money. Ask them to repay each customer for tracking the location issue - every single penny they charged for apple products.

      Moi a fanboy? Nope! Im here on an Apple phone comments section reading stupid comments from iPhone bashers, I love the iPhone so of course I'm gonna defend it! A little bit of thickness and the bashers use that as an excuse to bash the best phone brand. Let's face it, in terms of UI and overall satisfaction, Apple gets it spot on. I have many friends on Android Handsets and I have used their phones thoroughly. Yeah overall customisation and lack of restrictions are better on Droids. And Droids such as the HTC Incredible S and Desire HD are gorgeous. But given the choice I'd go with an iPhone. Purely cos of it's overall user satisfaction.

      Let's face it, if people come to bash the iPhone overall a few mm thickness, then they really are hating a handset they really do want. Think about it :)

In my country the white eagerly waited, and even the Black users like me and my friends want the white one. Jealous ? No other white phone in the history of the world has been so desirable, and it sells like hotcakes, no red hotcakes.

In the now world it is not what was invented then and what is used now. It is about the right things at the right time, and sorry pal, but Apple has a habit of doing it right , and at the right time. I suspect you are not an Apple fan, so I will not try to tell you what you missed. My gawd, the Airbook 11" , out of this world, and after the Airbook 1 , no one thought that they could do better, but they did.

                  who cares if its 1mm thicker, just dont buy it, u dont need to "UPGRADE" everytime apple releases a revision. plus screw protective cases,theyre gonna get damaged sooner or later.

You have to recognize that Android is growing faster in Handsets, Popularity, Applications and Market Share then any other brand (iOS, Symbian, WM7). I agree Apple know how to Market a product but when it comes to manufactuer and freedom ANY Android device has it over iPhone. The way i look at it if your "simply" you own a iphone, If you want more advance features and ability to personalise your phone you buy Android.

                            The white iPhone 4 we have received here in Australia, as far as Vodafone stock is concerned, carries the same dimensions as the black iPhones. Perhaps this is a regional thing or just a badly manufactured batch.

For example, The Mac Books I saw last year in 2010 were using the exact same video card that my sony Vaio FZ280E/B has and I bought that in summer of 2007. 0.3 MP cameras on the Ipad 2? thought the 5MP on my Xoom was hype but comes it handy when I take photos physics problems done on a dry erase bored.

I am not supporting any sides here but todays handsets are just mashup of parts from different manufacturers. Apple is not any different from HTC, LG, SAMSUNG, NOKIA etc. etc. etc. Apple is just managing to get top PRICE for that thing. And after all it's all about what you can do with your phone for a PRICE you are willing to PAY!!!!!!!

                                        Advice! Take your black iPhone 4 to a tacky mobile corner shop in your neighborhood and ask them to change the casing on your iPhone to white. It will take them 5 minutes, it will cost you 20 euros, your iPhone 4 will be white and it will be same size.

                                        Amateur mobile shops can do in 5 minutes to your black iPhone 4 what Apple engineers couldn't do in 1 year.

                                        LOL!

                                        For those of you who still believe the stupid press release from Apple about colour engineering and such nonsense, you will probably spend a fortune on a whole new line up of cases.

                                        This is Apple making money... nothing more.. nothing less..
