Thicknessgate: White IPhone 0.2 Mm Fatter Than Black IPhone

We might have detected the secret at the back the new white iPhone, and because now, 10 months late, Apple at last thinks it will stay white instead of vanishing to a dirty, stained yellow. Extra paint, and lots of it.

The internet is abuzz currently with more aged photos display that the white iPhone is clearly thicker than its black counterpart. The steel receiver rope is only the same, but the potion panels on the white phone are thicker. From the pictures, it appears that it's the rear row that has grown the most, and the entire phone is right away 0.2 mm fatter.

This probably isn't only layers of additional paint inside the glass, nonetheless Apple's Phil Schiller did speak of that additional UV insurance was indispensable on the long delayed handset.

In functional terms, this covering of sunscreen means that many precision-made cases will not fit the new iPhone. Add this to the somewhat not similar positions of the tongue-tied switch on the Verizon iPhone, and you right away have 4 handset configurations for box makers to cover. Given that Apple is important for gripping its product lines simple, this starts to look rsther than messy.

In reality, this doesn't unequivocally matter as well much. After all, the iPhone 4S looks similar to it might be nearing in September, and hopefully Apple will succeed to make all models the same size and shape.
