This is just a quick reminder plus rumor roundup of what's been happening with regards to the likely launch of iPhone 4 white version this week. The word is that Best Buy and Apple stores have been receiving new shipments of white iPhone 4s for the product launch this week. MacRumors has said the white models will be available as early as 27 April 2011. This comes after many speculated the the 27 April release was for the European market.� 9to5mac has obtained screenshots from a Best Buy inventory control system showing clearly that they have in fact been receiving the new white models of the iPhone already. AppleInsider has also been reporting shipments of white iPhone 4s being received at Apple stores this week.

I agree with many others that a white iteration of the iPhone 4 is not likely to sell very well. Many people do not like the white versions of the iPad and MacBooks and are unlikely to want a white iPhone 4. I guess we'll see over the next few weeks if the white models will launch and sell or if they will flop and have Apple scrambling to come up with a better offering. Hey, maybe if we're lucky and the launch fails horribly they'll push forward the A5 processor update early and release the iPhone 5 ahead of schedule.
