The white iPhone 4 seems to be something Apple lovers are anxiously waiting for. However, despite constant delays in the release date, it was announced earlier that it should be available sometime this year.
However, if you have little patience and a lot of money and want a white iPhone 4 now, then whiteiphone4now.com may provide the solution you are looking for. The site is selling DIY kits with white iPhone 4 pieces for your black iPhone 4. You are required to take apart your black iPhone 4 and put it back together with the following pieces:
- 1 x iPhone 4 retina display
- 1 x White iPhone 4 Front panel
- 1 x White iPhone 4 Back cover with Camera lens & LED cover + support frame
- 1 x White iPhone 4 Home button
- 1 x White iPhone 4 Digitizer (enables touch function)
- 1 x White iPhone 4 Front Panel Support frame
This kit will set you back a costly $299 (+ $31.64 shipping for anyone outside the USA). For those who are too scared to do it themselves, they can send off all the pieces they bought along with their black iPhone 4 to brokemyiphone.com for a further $54 + shipping.
As with any strange offers it is always a good idea to look at the small print. For example, if you go through with this DIY process for your black iPhone, you can say goodbye to your warranty. The site itself will not provide you with technical support if you have problems and of course, there are no refunds. Although the site claims all the parts in the DIY pack to be OEM pieces, there is nothing to say otherwise and there is even a term which claims errors may occur in the product description. Also, possibly the most important thing to take into account is that this company is not associated with Apple in any way.
Despite this, it seems there are 99 customers so far, just couldn't wait for the official white iPhone 4 release and have bought the kit and have been happy with their purchase. However, the risks seem to outweigh the final reward and waiting for the official release isn't going to kill you, although it could save you money and your black iPhone 4.
