At this point it seems we have reached the tipping point in terms of the white iPhone 4. Granted that does not mean it will be available any sooner, however it certainly feels like a release is coming sooner rather than later. That said, the latest white iPhone 4 sightings include a pair of UK mobile carriers –Three and Orange. But first, a brief summary of the recent white iPhone 4 craziness.

Back on January 11th the handset was briefly spotted on the Verizon website. Of course, as this was nothing more than a bad photoshop job it can hardly be counted.
On January 17th it was spotted in a Vodafone Germany inventory system.
On January 18th it was spotted in a Best Buy inventory system.
Earlier today it was spotted in the AT&T Online Account Management (OLAM) system.

And now the white iPhone 4, both in 16GB and 32GB models are sitting in full view on the Three UK and Orange UK product pages. But again, this does not mean it will be available any sooner. In fact, this all seems like a bit of silliness.

The real questions remain though, this is now seven months late and we have to wonder how many people are actually still waiting. I skipped the iPhone 4 personally, but had a white 3G and a white 3GS. Given that it seems had I upgraded to the iPhone 4 I would have wanted white, but I am not all that certain I would have waited seven months to get it. Especially knowing that Apple refreshes the iPhone every twelve.

Of course, that does not mean that the white iPhone 4 will not sell. After all, there are likely some white iPhone 4 die-hards that held true. Plus, there is always the group that likes to stay current, but does not always need to be an early adopter. And then, then there is the group who could either care less or simply does not realize how often Apple rolls out a new model iPhone.

Bottom line, lets just hope it actually comes available for sale sooner rather than later, after all, isn’t a 4G iPhone much more exciting to speculate about? Or maybe we can start to speculate about a white iPhone 5.
