Speaker difference between black and white?

[risingofthephoenix]

Why does the Black have 1 speaker at the top and the White has 2? wtf?

The iPhones are identical that's a proximity sensor you can't see in that black one but this is iPhone 101 stuff we all know already

 

[risingofthephoenix]

why do they make it visible in the white one?

Black on black is much harder to see than black on white.

Well it's going to be hard for the proximity sensor to work if it's covered up.

it is not covered up on either phone, but on the black phone you cant see the black cover easily. For obvious reasons you can see the black cover on the white phone

This has been widely reported, but it is interesting, nonetheless.

 

[risingofthephoenix]

why is there a notch for it on the white one and not on the black?

What notch are you talking about? The proximity sensor is black, so on the black phone, you can't see it unless you look hard. On the white phone, it stands out since it is a different color.

it looks like a speaker slot on the white on the black there is no slot

It's because apple wanted it to do it that way

It's not a slot, It's the proximity sensor. It's black. That is the only difference from the black to the white phone. The white phone is white, and you can see the black proximity sensor, becuase it is black.

Based on title alone, this thread could have gone a whole different way. Lol.......

I guess I am going to have to explain this in lamens terms how come it is covered on the black one? cuz on the white 1 you can put your finger in it like a speaker

You can not put your finger in it. I have a black and white 4S and they both have glass covering it.

After reading this thread, I don't want to live in this world anymore.
