White Apple iPhone 4 in transit to U.S. stores this weekend

Soon to end its inclusion on the list of popular myths, the white Apple iPhone 4 is being sent to U.S. retail stores this weekend with a launch expected sometime this coming week, possibly April 26th as we reported. Some indications are pointing to April 27th as the release date.

Regardless, the white version of the phone is expected to boost sales of the model in a year when the next generation iPhone isn't expected until we get closer to the 2011 holiday shopping season. The delay from a summer introduction should give Apple enough time to prepare enough CDMA and GSM units of the iPhone 5 to allow both AT&T and Verizon to offer it at the same time.

The white version of the Apple iPhone 4 had been delayed prior to the launch of the black model. Light leaking out from the casing was a major issue and Apple tried various numbers of coatings before the problem was solved.
