White iPhone 4 to be available in a month

Well it is one of the puzzles associated with iPhone 4, where Apple stopped its white iPhone  after promising to release it along with the Black version. It is rumored that there were reception (more than the black) due to the white paint blocking the Radio signal and Deterioration of the paint due to heat.

But after the iPad 2 launch, everyone was confident that apple indeed will go back to launching the white version of its  flagship product. But now one wonders whether there will be a major rejig of the back panel of the White iPhone? Will it be same as Black iPhone with a different white paint? or will be Aluminium as with iPad 2 ?. If no major change , it makes it more strange that Apple had taken this long to find the proper mix.

But lets not confuse us to much, based on the rumors  the new white iPhone could well be coming out as early as next month.. or maybe its white version iPhone 5/whatever is next version.

iPhone 5 with limited improvements in July 2011

If you go by just expectations alone iPhone 5 is already super hit even before an announcement of the phone from Apple. After the antenna gate of  Apple iPhone 4,  there is a huge expectation on the next version of iPhone, and going by Apple’s plan in the last few years we should have a new release of iPhone in June-July 2011. But then again going by the tone Steve Jobs set in iPad 2 launch we may not see a huge change in hardware from iPhone 4 except  the antenna.

Another question is whether Apple will call the new phone another version of iPhone 4 like 3GS for 3G.  With not many new enhancements a subversion of iPhone 4 will be the correct approach but again they may want to completely forget the iPhone 4 episode and jump to iPhone 5. With the new A5 processor confirmed to be available for next version iPhone, it is most likely to be christened iPhone 5.

Another factor in the recent months is Japan earth quake and Nuclear disaster which could push Apple’s schedule at least by few weeks if not by few months. And Apple’s have said they dont have any roadmaps from Apple for new product line, but again considering that iPhone 5 may not be much different from iPhone 4 and could be a more refined product, the information leak possibility is also reduced.

So lets wait and see if we get to see the new iPhone 5 this summer.
