Seems like the wait for while iPhone is over. Some hawk eyes have spotted white iPhone listing on Best Buy stock page. Apart from
this, there had been several news slash rumors of various stores receiving white iPhone promotional material and it looks like the phone will be launched on AT&T and Verizon networks simultaneously.
However, surprisingly, white iPhone 4 did not land on the US shores first. The original spotting of the mythical creature was on the stock sheets of the UK mobile carrier Vodafone. Apparently, even some pictures of the phone in its white avatar with full official regalia were leaked. So far, the bets are on for April 27th release.
Apple generally releases updated iPhone in summer. Currently, there are several rumors of the company going off the set cycle. In this scenario, the launch of white iPhone seems like a plausible possibility. The buzz created by the white iPhone will be enough to cause one more bump in the iPhone sales curve and then eventually, Apple can top it off with iPhone 5.
Also, recently during the release of Verizon's quarterly results, the company CFO had said that Apple would be launching the next big thing simultaneously on both the networks. Earlier, he was understood to be talking about iPhone 5, but the 'next big thing' could be white iPhone as well. However, the Best Buy stock sheet which created the buzz is said to contain only GSM phone listing. Though, it lists both 16 GB and 32 GB phones.
White iPhone is all set to have a special place in Apple's history. The company, known for its adherence to standards, had been woefully tardy in the launch of this bleached version. The phone was expected to debut along with black iPhone 4. However, owing to several unconfirmed reasons, the launch kept getting delayed. But, this time, it looks like that the phone is eventually turning into reality. So mark your calendars for April 27th, folks.
