Hasta La Gadget!

You may not have an iPhone 4 yet — unless you lucked out on delivery, you’re probably still waiting in line — but if you did receive Cupertino’s latest opinion polarizing handset, you might have noticed it doesn’t come with a tool to edit all the 720p footage of jealous friends that you just shot. Thankfully that can be remedied with a portrait of President Lincoln, as iMovie for iPhone just went live — head on over to the App Store and drop your $4.99.

Update: Oddly enough, we’re not actually seeing iMovie in the App Store on our iPhone 4 — only in the desktop client.

Out, damned spot! out, I say! One; two: why, then, ’tis time to do ‘t. Hell is murky! Fie, my lord, fie! Reports are coming in from some of those lucky early iPhone 4 users that there may exist a not-so-lucky yellow coloration in the bottom right corner of the IPS LCD. We haven’t seen this ourselves on any new iPhones, but maybe you’ve had different experiences. Tell us, is your iPhone 4 seeing yellow?

Update: As a number of readers have pointed out, there seems to be an issue with how many bars are displayed on screen — perhaps even a correlation to how it’s being held in the hand. According to Walt Mossberg’s review, Apple has acknowledged the issue as something that has to do with “the way the bars are presented, not the actual ability to make a call,” and that a fix is forthcoming. Indeed, as noted in our review, we’ve had “far, far fewer dropped calls than we experienced on our 3GS.” We’re not seeing very many videos showing more dropped call, but the bar change is interesting. Still, to be sure, we’re adding another poll.

Update 2: Our iPhone 4 purchased in Japan has a pale yellow bar along then entire bottom edge. Picture after the break.

So, these aren’t exactly the most similar phones ever. The Droid X has Android, a high res 4.3-inch screen, Verizon, and a hump in back. The iPhone 4 has iOS, a higher res 3.5-inch screen, and some of the slimmest smartphone dimensions ever. Sure, they’re both flagship handsets for their respective teams, but we’d really rather live in a world where Droid X and iPhone 4 hang out after work for drinks than one where they stab each other in their silicon hearts. Sure, there’d be a bit of banter, but isn’t there always between friends?

It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, but Best Buy has just gotten around to confirming that it won’t have any stock of the white iPhone 4 come launch day on Thursday — the same situation that both AT&T and Apple itself are in. For many buyers, it’s not a big deal — either they don’t mind the black version, or they’d planned on buying black anyway — but for others, this is putting a significant crimp on the launch day festivities. We reached out to Apple and got this:

“There is tremendous excitement for the new iPhone 4 and we are working to get as many of them into the hands of customers as possible. At launch, we have the black models available for purchase and we will be adding the white models as quickly as we can.”

In other words, they’re not revealing much of anything — okay, scratch that, they’re not revealing anything at all about its mystery-shrouded delay, the circumstances behind it, or how long we can expect to wait. So here’s our question: what, exactly, happened to the white iPhone 4?
