We earlier today told that the white variant of the iPhone 4 will be shipping in the second half of July.
It appears that Walt Mossberg, Wall Street Journal, has gotten the first public white unit (that we know of), and in the video above you can see and hear his review of it.
Apple just issued maybe its shortest Press Release ever. It’s just two sentences, saying that the white iPhone 4 will come in second half of July due to manufacturing problems.
White models of Apple’s new iPhone® 4 have proven more challenging to manufacture than expected, and as a result they will not be available until the second half of July. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.
Apple today confirmed that FaceTime calls will not use cellular minutes from your operator. This is how it should be, since FaceTime doesn’t work over 3G (for now).
“The voice call ends as soon as the FaceTime call connects,” Apple tells us. “The FaceTime call is over Wi-Fi so does not use carrier minutes.”
This is the case even if you launch a FaceTime chat during a regular voice phone call. The regular voice call will just be disconnected, and FaceTime will take over and continue via WiFi.
The iOS 4.0 will be available to download in just a few hours (10 AM PST) from now. If you can’t wait till that, take a look at the video above. It goes through the major new features in iOS 4.0 (previously iPhone OS 4.0).
Apple today approved the official Windows Live Messenger application into the App Store. This works on your iPhone and iPod Touch with iOS 3.0 or newer.
