Apple Removes Mention of White iPhone 4 From Online Store

Its Official.

They will make pink iPhone 5 next time. :D

Apple continues to use a white iPhone 4, however, in promotional images for the company's bumpers. The white model is also still shown in Apple's iPhone 4 image gallery.

I always wonder whether they use (retouched) actual images, Photoshop mock-ups, or a combination of the two to create their promotional images. I always suspected it was highly Photoshopped actual images, but things like this make me wonder.

Of course, it's possible they've made a few (safe to assume they have) and even gone so far as to create promotional images with them, even if they weren't happy with the device itself.

Also goes to show their preference for appearance over function (anyone else would have changed the product design to make it work)--but also that they have some boundaries as to when, like this, it's not OK for one to compromise the other. :)

...apart from when you scroll down and see a pic of white iPhones with bumpers

Cool, I can look forward to delays of the white iPhone 5 now.

I've worked on their video campaigns for previous iPhones (not v4) and they have been CG renders out of Cinema 4D for the most part. Their interaction videos have been real devices, but heavily 'altered' in post to show apps loading faster, etc.

Yeah it's over. At some point they have to cut the production schedule to prepare for the iPhone 5. Not saying that iPhone 5 production has started (it hasn't) but with all the problems with production that the white iPhone 4 has been having, they can't keep pushing back the release over and over or it will cross with the iPhone 5.

and there u have it ladies and germs
