Nachdem sich die Fanwelt anscheinend damit abgefunden hat, dass aus dem weißen iPhone 4 nichts mehr wird, findet man noch vereinzelt iPhone 4 Angebote im Netz.
Die meisten davon warten wohl bei eBay auf einen Käufer, doch hier handelt es sich fast ausschließlich um umgebaute iPhones.
Wie man jetzt hört, lässt Apple solche Angebote von Ebay entfernen. Hier ein Email an einen Benutzer mit einer solchen Auktion:

Wer die Hoffnung auf ein offizielles weißes iPhone 4 noch nicht aufgeben will, freut sich vielleicht an der Tatsache, dass Apple das weiße Modell immer noch als eigenes Produkt ansieht. 😉
