It's reasons like this why people obsess with Apple products. Aesthetics need to be perfected or there is no product. I for one, hold Apple in higher regard for not shipping an iPhone they are not 100% content with.

Consider how much people would howl at an Apple product where the "white home button colour doesn't match the white front face plate colour".

It's a nice story if true. Sadly, if the phone was all-white by the time you purchase it but then changes over time, even perfectionist Apple wouldn't care. We've seen this many times on their Mac Books or previous iPhones that developed typical crack patterns... Interestingly they used to charge a premium for black MacBooks, so let's see what the fanbase is prepared to spend once white is truly white :)

Who the fuck cares? is just a regular iphone painted white, how stupid can iSheeps get.

I think you missed the point of the article. What's more or less interesting is not that there's a horde of employees in Apple with access to the device. That's a given. I'm more or less impressed with the fact that the device has not been released simply due to Apple's level of standards when it comes to their products. I can almost guarantee most companies would have released the product as-is.

It's not just Apple that does this (with great effect).

Look at things like the Nintendo DSi, which is being released in a range of new colors. Simply adding a few different colors to a device means a big surge in orders I'm sure.

But yeah, I don't really care if the iPhone is black or white too much.
