By now you've reasonably seen the latest spectacle to consume the white iPhone 4: it's thicker than the black model. The image above illustrates the point using a piece of lead from a perfunctory pencil. So what, you say, in righteous indignation to a device that shipped ten months late. Well, the size dissimilitude creates a undeveloped user issue since cases (at least the good ones) are synthetic

We've ineradicable ourselves, that an Incase slider that fits a black iPhone 4 just fine has to be forced into place on the new white model. Unfortunately, Apple's own spec page doesn't best part the change in thickness (measured at 9.5mm by TiPb). Instead it still shows a 9.3mm depth with a tiny disclaimer stating, "Actual size and weight vary by shape and manufacturing process." The result is confusion -- will this case fit or won't it? -- which is never a good thing for consumers.



But why is the white iPhone 4 thicker? Phil Schiller be mentioned that Apple needed to add extra UV screen among other tweaks, in an attempt to reduce the "unexpected interactions" between the white cover and the centralized components. As such, Apple ostensively needed to sacrifice some slimness for a better alive white phone. In the end, we have what looks to be four contrary size / button configurations that must be calculated when real wages a shrink-wrapped case for your white iPhone 4, black iPhone 4, white Verizon iPhone 4, or black Verizon iPhone 4. Good luck with that.
