Apple To Release White iPhone 4 This April?

Apple has confirmed it will be finally releasing the much anticipated white iPhone 4 soon, but never released an exact date. Rumors have it, the white iPhone 4 will be released this April 26. Until now, Apple's reason to why it never released the white iPhone 4 was due to paint issues.

Apple Branded HDTV May Get Released Later This Year

Ivy Bridge Supporting Both USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt

According to CNET, Intel has publicly committed to supporting USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt on its up-and-coming 'Ivy Bridge platform'. USB 3.0 is ten times faster than the current USB 2.0 standard but it has not embraced on any Intel Chipset, or AMD. USB 3.0 is supported by using a 3rd party chipset to handle the interface. Intel is still encouraging developers to use Thunderbolt, which can support more data and video on a single cable than USB 3.0 can. Hopefully we will see both on the next generation of Macbook Pro's.

Remember Apple's Bluetooth Headset?

Apple's Bluetooth Headset was first introduced back in 2007, when the world received one of the biggest contribution in mobile history, the iPhone. Unfortunately Apple's black and slim Bluetooth headset is no longer with us and has been discontinued by Apple in early 2009. Why? No one really knows but maybe the steep $129 price tag and mediocre audio quality drove consumers away towards other offerings like BlueAnt and Jawbone. Maybe Apple should try designing a whole new Bluetooth headset with an attractive price point and better quality. I would love to see Apple design something with similar curves as the iPhone 4 or better yet, the soon to be iPhone 5. Until then, there are many great options out there.

Apple Removed Traces Of White iPhone 4 From Online Store

Oh so this is what Apple's Bumper cases look on the black iPhone 4. You know, the only color that is available to purchase from Apple. Ever since Apple released the iPhone 4 and the Bumper cases, Apple's online store only displayed the Bumper cases on white iPhone 4s instead of black or even both like they do now with the iPad 2 and Smart Covers. Other reports have said the Apple completely removed every single trace of the white iPhone 4 graphics on their online store. This was long over due. Well at least now it's easier to pick out the colored Bumper of your choice for your black iPhone 4.
