Now we know what Apple was holding the white iPhone4 for. This is the easiest way to sell iPhone 4's in February when iPhone 5 will be out in June.
I dont think they held the white 4's for Verizon.
I really hope Verizon doesn't somehow get white ones for launch. That would be quite the kick in the nuts to everyone on AT&T who gave up hope on seeing a white iP4 in their hands. (my nuts are part of that list).
I heard the white cases were prone to fading/discoloring very easily. Either from heat or just abuse.
