The White iPhone is OUT!

Apple has finally confirmed that the long expected WHITE iPhone will become available for sale on Apple.com, Apple stores, authorized Apple resellers, and AT&T/Verizon stores.

The, almost a year long waiting, was caused, according to Apple, by the manufacture process which turned out to be "more challenging to than expected".

A press release by Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, Philip Schiller states that: "The white iPhone 4 has finally arrived and it's beautiful". Through Schiller voice, Apple also somehow apologies to its customers: "We appreciate everyone who has waited patiently while we've worked to get every detail right."

AT&T's "no commitment" prices start from $499 for a 8GB iPhone 3GS and go up to $699 for a 32GB iPhone 4, and it's cheaper than Verizon, who charges $650 for a no-commitment 16GB iPhone 4 and $750 for the 32GB model.

Other than that, AT&T also offers a wide range of iPhone versions, with prices starting from $19 for a refurbished iPhone 3GS - 8 GB, while only the 16GB and 32GB versions of iPhone 4G are available with Verizon.

AT&T price hike for iPhone early upgrade

Bad news for AT&T customers that were hoping for a cheap iPhone upgrade.

Existing AT&T customers that were planning to upgrade their iPhone(3gs or 4G), must add $50 to the price that new customers, or expiring customers pay.

So now, with the $50 hike, prices for early upgrades are:

• $299 for the 8GB iPhone 3GS ;
  
• $449 for the 16GB iPhone 4 ;
• $549 for the 32 GB iPhone 4.

"This change reflects the increased costs, while still allowing us to offer customers the latest device before they qualify.", an AT&T spokesman said.

AT&T's "no commitment" prices did not go up and start from $499 for a 8GB iPhone 3GS and go up to $699 for a 32GB iPhone 4, and it's cheaper than Verizon, who charges $650 for a no-commitment 16GB iPhone 4 and $750 for the 32GB model.

Other than that, AT&T also offers a wide range of iPhone versions, with prices starting from $19 for a refurbished iPhone 3GS - 8 GB, while only the 16GB and 32GB versions of iPhone 4G are available with Verizon.

Apple removes "Gay Cure" App

Apple, via iTunes, provided for its users, an application called "Gay Cure".

The application's, provided by, Florida-based Christian group, Exodus International, is meant to cure people from gay sexual orientation.

Exodus says that the app aims to give users "a useful resource for men, women, parents, students and ministry leaders" to "reconcile their faith with their sexual behavior".

Since 15 February until last night, the app was available for sale.

Even though Apple didn't comment yet, the application has been removed due to pressure by gay rights activists. Change.org hosts a petition  that demands "that Apple Remove "ex-gay" iPhone App". The petition has been, so far, signed by 150,458 people and it seems it had the desired effect, as the application is no longer for sale on iTunes.
