| The all mighty Apple will soon be releasing the much awaited white iphone 4. This is a major benefit to AT&T customers and Verizon as it will be released to both by the end of the month. It is quite unfortunate that the white version had to be so late in production, as it was suppose to come out during the normal release. Knowing that consumers appetites have been sharpened to a fine point over the years, it is obvious that this lack of delivery upset many. I myself understanding that things happen, like to give people the benefit of the doubt but 10 months is a little too late I think for even us understanding types. Being that the company expressed its ultimate challenge with producing the white model, I find myself even more confused. As it is just a white version not a new level of technology. I mean now-a-days the whole world is redefined in 10 months.This decoration by Apple did get to me a little bit, as I see that as a comment to passify more then give definition to a loyal following. Though there are claims of the paint peeling at high temps. it seems far to unlikely that a company would not be able to test that in a week and move beyond that production issue. they have now changed the film material, but I am still confused how that takes 10 months for such a small challenge. Anyways, at the end of the April it should be out. When, Steve Jobs, Apple CEO,k released the iPad 2 he confirmed that there would be no issue with the whote version of this launch. (Well I should hope not, if you want to avoid the image of total incompetence). Phil Schiller, VP of worldwide product marketing, echoed this with a tweet to the masses. Let's hope that these little things don't turn off buyers in the future, as these details shouldn't be issues for such a giant in the global market. We aren't in the 1920's where you can have any color you want as long as its black...
Apple sold no less than 16.2 million iPhones during its last fiscal quarter, breaking its own record. The second fiscal quarter will be announced in a few days and seems to predict an even larger sales number.
