White iPhone 4 may launch on February 27th at Best Buy [updated]

mobile

Following news that two white iPhone models have appeared in Vodafone Germany’s inventory system, Mac Rumors reports that Best Buy is showing the highly anticipated Apple smartphone in its system as well. An alleged screen shot of Best Buy’s inventory system shows the white iPhone 4 in two sizes, both due to launch some time after Sunday, February 27th. While the authenticity of the screen shot has not been verified, the SKU numbers shown in the image match SKUs initially used by Best Buy when it took, and subsequently cancelled, pre-orders for the white iPhone 4. If the February 27th date pans out, the white iPhone 4 will end up launching less than four months before Apple announces its successor, the fifth-generation iPhone.

UPDATE: A BGR reader points out that the screen shot above is actually from Best Buy’s Employee Toolkit and not its inventory system. As such, we can’t speculate on a release date at this time, as in-stock dates and release dates typically do not correspond.

      Ancient hardware. Who is this clown? Best camera, best screen resolution, best carrier, best OS. Nothing compares to it. 160 million devices sold. Nothing can hang with that.

    But what about the white iPad? I know it doesn’t exist but they have to release it! It’s so much better than the black one and I hear it has more Gee Bees whatever that means.. lol

    iphone sucks …who cares

  • Scott

    You know… I really wanted this phone… back in JULY! After countless delays and returning my black iPhone 4 because the antenna sucked, I’m glad that I’ve waited. Come March 1st, I will have an Atrix in my hand and my iPhone 3G will be in the junk drawer. Thank you Apple! Now I can get a better phone

  • joshie

    1) I’ll believe it when I see it.
    2) At this point, who cares any more?

    Only about a year too late

    Do we have to jump every time they replace color of the plastic ?!
    Is it such a BIG deal what color is it?

  • Crescentdave

    Thank you, BGR, after months of reporting every scintilla of conjecture about the momentous fate of the color white, you’ve finally come through with the goods- another hard hitting, journalistic piece of conjecture about the color white (insofar as it interfaces with the iphonian universe). OMG. White. Can you imagine?

  • Plantemichel

    Oh poor immatures !!! Why are you trashing the white or black iPhone 4 ???
    I never had anthena problem only the home button was crazy but that could happen to any phones. I had a new iPhone 4 replacement for solving this issues.

    Peoples that are bashing iPhones and IPads it’s only because they are jealous because Android phones and tablets can’t do what iOS can do.

  • Blakel

    If anyone reads this.

    Im an employee of a well know Australian Telco and the White iPhone 4 has been in the POS system ever since released. Without speculation I think its just that its in these systems as an “just incase a phone is released we are ready” sort of thing. at the end of the day its just a line of code that represents a product.

    Would this phone from best buy be verizon compatible as well
