White iPhone: My Advertising Suggestions

I’m just looking for a little truth in advertising

I’ve been a Mac user for years, but when Apple sent me the email this morning announcing the super special White iPhone 4 they just released I could only roll my eyes. After all, it only took them 10 months to get the color right, so it is a big deal.

Here’s what Apple sent me this morning:

If you buy this, you are easily tricked

If you already own an iPhone of any generation and you anticipate you are going to buy a white iPhone, I’m going to have to ask you to stop. Please consider the following:

  1. It is the same iPhone 4 with the same problems.
  2. It still knows where you are and will remember it forever.
  3. Apple will release a new iPhone this year. Maybe not in June, but before November.
  4. You have to put a case on it, unless you want to drop all of your calls, so it really doesn’t matter what color it is anyway.

Do yourself a favor and buy one less Apple product this year. Just some friendly advice.

    Haha, I love the first suggestion! :D

    I don’t mind the white iPhone, but I agree totally that now is just a stupid time to buy one. The next one will be here in a few months. I’d rather wait for an upgraded phone, rather than just a white cover…

    Let’s just hope they can get the white right the first time on the iPhone 5.
