[attachimg=1 align=left] The Great White iPhone 4 is finally here. Nearly a year after the launch of the original iPhone 4, plagued by delay after delay, tomorrow you can buy the phone that seemed like it might never exist.

Apple doesn't say a whole lot about why it took ten months to make the white iPhone available—though Steve Jobs and Phil Schiller tell Ina Fried, "It's not as simple as making something white. There's a lot more that goes into both the material science of it–how it holds up over time... but also in how it all works with the sensors." But the white iPhone 4 release this month still carries a fairly big statement with it: It seems less likely than ever that there'll be a brand new iPhone in June, as there has been every year for the past few years. Why introduce a new phone around the world, only to replace it in 6-8 weeks?
