White iPhone 4 Sold By Vodafone UK?

Friday April 22, 2011 1:50 pm PDT by Eric Slivka

Engadget reports that it has received photos from a reader who claims to have purchased a white iPhone 4 through Vodafone in the UK today. The carrier has reportedly been gearing up to receive shipments of the device, but it now appears that the units may in fact be arriving and have slipped out for sale in a few instances.

Now, we've secured a few images of a 16GB model from a separate source that has seemingly made its way into the hands of one lucky customer (read: bloke) over in Britain.

As the story goes, the carrier's point-of-sale system rang it up as a black iPhone, and shortly after the sale went down, Voda sent out a notice to halt sale of these gems "until next week."

Interestingly, the iPhone appears to show a modified proximity sensor, utilizing an open slot over the earpiece instead of the previously-seen fine grating.


The most recent rumors have pegged the white iPhone 4 launch for next Wednesday, April 27th.

Bet you'd say it was the best thing since slice bread if it had a Samsung badge on it.


I wouldn't expect anything less from someone who's 'About Me' page looks like this:

It's like 40p (£0.40) per year per person and brings in more than that in tourism.
