White iPhone 4 Finally Officially Arrives Tomorrow

After a long and embarrassing delay, Apple is now officially launching the white iPhone 4 on April 28. The press release from Apple says they will be available at their Apple stores, online and at AT&T, Verizon and some “select Apple Authorized Resellers.” Which resellers was not included. There have been reports that Best Buy might be included.

The white iPhone was first announced along with the black iPhone at the launch event last summer. It was delayed because Apple wanted to get it right and was having problems with the manufacturing process. They have been tight-lipped about what the problem is. There has been a lot of speculation about the reasons but we may never officially know what happened.

The price will be the same as the black iPhone 4 – 16GB for $199 with 2-year contract and 32GB for $299.

We’ve seen a lot of reports leading up to this official word including tweets from Apple’s Phil Shiller. But now that it is official we can all move on to rumors about what the next iPhone will look like and what new and exciting specs it will include — and wether it will be available in white at launch.
