After a long wait, the whiteiPhone is finally launching worldwide tomorrow.
"The white iPhone 4 has finally arrived and it's beautiful," Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, said today in a statement. "We appreciate everyone who has waited patiently while we've worked to get every detail right."
Apple first unveiled the white iPhone last June with the announcement of the iPhone 4. Like the black version of the smartphone, the white model comes with a Retina display and a front-facing camera for FaceTime video chatting.
Not long after last June's announcement of the white smarphone, Apple acknolwedged that, after facing production issues, it would need to delay the device's launch to July. Further issues forced the company to push the release to late 2010. Following another admission by Apple that it wouldn't be able to make its self-imposed deadline, the company promised a spring 2011 launch.
Finally, after nearly a year of broken promises, Apple has stuck to that release date.
When CEO Steve Jobs first unveiled the white iPhone 4, the device was only slated to be available to AT&T customers, since Apple had not yet announced its Verizon partnership. However, Apple noted today that the white iPhone will be available to both AT&T and Verizon Wireless customers in the U.S. The device will be sold in those carriers' stores, as well as in the Apple Store and other retail outlets.
In addition to the U.S., the white iPhone will be launched tomorrow in the U.K., Canada, Japan, China, and several other countries. The white iPhone will retail for $199 and $299 for the 16GB and 32GB models, respectively.
