All that talk of tortuousness and difficulty building a blank iPhone 4 ? Apple was n’t BSing . NYT ’s Nick Bilton comparedthe freshly let go of pearly model to a first draft , buy directly from Apple ’s Taiwanese factory . The difference ? The quondam one ’s grungy .
Yellow discolouration and fading is evident when compared to the white reading now on shelves — so maybe Apple really did take the clip to make a material that would n’t calculate like a funky sock after a while . We ’ll still have to watch over for the same form of material suckening with the young harvest of clean iPhone 4s over fourth dimension .
Other interesting adaption : a Modern , deep - recess proximity sensing element ( as oppose to a dot grille ) , and a protruding camera lens , as oppose to the recessed make of the original version . Why ? perchance to shield the camera from a flash that was allegedly leaking light through the white shell ( Engadgetthinks not ! ) . But who really knows .
Slight differences away , it ’s still just an iPhone 4 . And , you ’d hope , one that wo n’t wait gross after a year . [ NYT ]
