The white iPhone 4 might not be available until August, according to a customer who visited a Best Buy to pre order an iPhone 4.
The white iPhone 4 has been causing quite a bit of controversy since yesterday when the pre order launched for the iPhone 4. Nobody knew that the white iPhone 4 was not going to be available prior to yesterday. The new broke Monday night just prior to midnight and official launch of the iPhone 4 pre order. And then Apple confirmed it again when they launched their iPhone 4 online store where it stated that the iPhone 4 would not be available for pre order.
White iPhone 4 Not Available Until August
Someone posted a comment here at Social Media SEO stating that he just left a Best Buy store after pre ordering his iPhone 4, and he said that the rep at Best Buy said the white iPhone 4 will be available until August.
And I just realized that this report isn’t really any different than the previously reported time frame of “later this summer”. August is definitely later this summer!
So does anyone have any additional info regarding the white iPhone 4?

Best Buy is definitely not a primary source for that type of information. I was able to preorder a white iPhone yesterday with them shortly before the company ceased orders for those models, and the gentleman I worked with told me that they are expecting a small supply of the white ones to come in a few days after the 24th of June. Until Apple officially releases more information, what the people at Best Buy say is solely based on rumors and opinions.
So you're saying BestBuy is getting White 4's before Apple is? I find this very hard to believe. If "what the people at Best Buy say is solely based on rumors and opinions" than how would you believe that they were getting shipped White 4's? I suspect you'll get a letter in the mail or a phone call from a BestBuy rep regretting to inform your order won't come on time.
Then again, maybe that's just wishful, envious thinking :-)
Read what they're saying dumdum; Mallory's point is that Best Buy is definitely not a primary source as there have been differing statements made by the people that work there. "Until Apple officially releases more information, what the people at Best Buy say is solely based on rumors and opinions."
Thank you, mininuke. Thanks for the condescending reply Ismael, but all you needed to do was read my statement below... I don't believe they're getting the white iPhone 4's...but I went ahead and preordered one anyway-- if Apple surprises us, and I'll be first in line to get it.
i agree that i wouldn't trust bestbuy, but i also heard from someone who talked to an apple rep that they wouldn't be available until august....idk if it's true of not, but i figured i would throw that out there...
I wish they would have told us. I know plenty of people who sold their iPhones prior to the Pre-sale date, even saved their upgrades. Now we'll have to wait even longer. What fun..
BEST BUY DOES NOT KNOW. This is a rumor simply started by some kid who made a date up. He most likely saw the AT&T email on the internet stating a "later this summer" release and conjured up a date. Please disregard this articles mention of a "possible august release" as no one knows but Apple. Obviously.
If thats true, just kill me now!!!
andy- you're hilarious! BUT SO RIGHT! OMFG- I had been trying since 8am CST yesterday until 8pm that night to order online!!!! STEWPID APPLE! They should have prepared better and KNOWN what we would have wanted!!!!!!! SO MAD that there's only fr!cken black ones. UGH!
Whoever wrote this, 'Article', better go back to school. Your spelling is appalling.
This sucks! Everyone I know has sold their Iphone for this one! I sold mine and I miss it!
Mallory,
no one is taking orders for the white one not even at the apple store, if you pre order a phone you are getting a black one
Sadly...I'm living on a blackberry curve for now until the white comes. I gave mine to my husband so he'd have an iphone so he would get the unlimited data plan. Hopefully his pre order black 32 gb from Best Buy is honored...me? Well, I suppose I'll use my 3GS until the white comes in since we pre ordered from Best Buy as well. All I know is I need some kind of iPhone...life without one sucks! I do not like this crapberry. Anyhow...at the best buy we went to they told us they'd have a limited stock for those who did pre order. We made number 5 on the list. It's all speculation now, we won't know anything until next week. Fingers crossed for everyone!
Here in the UK I phone my local O2 store and the main head quarters, both 100% said that that O2 would have the white iPhone 4 on the 24th June, and also the guy at HQ new what was going on at apple, how you can't pre order online, how the ship date has now changed in the UK and he also claimed there will be a 3rd iPhone 4, a multi coloured one ? But I think he may be on about the bumpers.
