The elusive white iPhone 4 that a lot of people are waiting for has been spotted in New York. The guys over at Pocket-lint caught hold of a guy who was seen carrying around a white iPhone 4, which at the moment, is as rare as spotting a penguin in Africa.
Turns out the guy managed to get hold of his white iPhone 4 through someone who obviously has good contacts with the people at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino (or presumably works there himself) and as it turns out there are a lot more where that came from.
The reason, according to the person who owns the said iPhone, why you cannot just walk into an Apple Store and buy a white iPhone 4 for yourself is because Apple is having problems matching the shade of the white colored parts from its two suppliers. We are talking about the Home button and the front panel of the phone.
So that's apparently the reason for the MIA status of the white iPhone 4. It's because Apple wants to make sure you get the same, uniform shade of white across the device. While that's awfully nice of them, we are assuming most people probably won't care less if the home button is slightly darker or lighter than the rest of the phone, that is if they spot that it looks different in the first place.
