Apple has confirmed what we already knew (thanks to past Apple confirmations). The white iPhone 4 is real, and it’s really coming this spring. For real. In response to a self-proclaimed “16-year-old kid from Albuquerque, future Engadget editor” on Twitter, Apple SVP Philip Schiller confirmed that the long awaited handset is arriving soon. “The white iPhone will be available this spring (and it is a beauty!),” wrote the exec.
That timeline squares with the one Apple has been repeating for a few months now. It’s still three-quarters of a year behind the original planned launch date. Apple first unveiled the handset last summer, alongside the launch of the black iPhone 4. Due to unspecified technical problems, however (most likely having to do with the amount of light a white case lets in while taking photos), the handset has been repeatedly delayed.
Interest in the phone resurfaced when Apple announced the launch of a white version of the iPad 2–a product that has already beaten the white iPhone to market.
