After months of anticipation, the white iPhone handset has finally arrived, and fashion-conscious users waiting to get their hands on the white model can finally do so. ut there is one caveat. It seems the white iPhone is thicker than the black model.
It's not much of a difference, in fact you pretty much have to place the two handsets side by side and then look very closely to notice. But Apple has confirmed that the white iPhone is .2 millimetres thicker than the black model.
Now, if you're the type who bases your choice in mobile handsets on one fifth of a millimetre you have bigger problems than the colour of your iPhone. But there is one situation where the larger iPhone could pose an issue.
Customers with snugly-fitting cases for their black iPhone 4 may find that the white models are a difficult fit. So if you're really attached to your case, you may want to be wary of the new models or consider buying another one.
