White iPhone tags spotted in Houston Best Buy

By Molly McHugh Published February 7, 2011

We don’t want to jinx anything, but the White iPhone is a reality, short only of an official announcement. Engadget published photos yesterday showing a Houston Best Buy advertising the stuff of legends. According to the retailer’s sign, the white iPhone 4 will be available through AT&T for $599.99 without a contract. You’ll be happy to note Apple isn’t going to cash in on the White iPhone’s infamy and the device will cost as much as its black predecessor.

The Source, which is Canada’s Radio Shack, is listing similar advertisements.

It’s been a long, arduous wait for Apple fanboys dying to get their hands on the White iPhone, and one that might be coming to an end. It might just be enough to keep some users from switching to Verizon. But before you stake out any Best Buy retailers, remember that the iPhone 5 is loosely slated for a June arrival.

iOS 18 makes an 11-year-old iPhone feature exciting again

Following the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2024) keynote, developers are starting to dig into the first iOS 18 developer beta. Though this beta lacks Apple Intelligence and many of the other features demoed on Monday, it offers a surprising new take on an old iOS feature: the flashlight.

The built-in flashlight feature has been available on the iPhone since iOS 7, which was released in 2013. It hasn't changed much at all since then, which makes sense, given its basic function. Interestingly, it has received a significant update in iOS 18.

Here’s how iOS 18 is going to overhaul your iPhone’s email app

We're just days away from Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2024), which means we're about to get our first look at iOS 18. The new iPhone operating system is expected to get RCS texting in the iMessage app, more customization options for the home screen, and maybe a significant design change overall. Now comes word that changes will be made to the native Mail app.

According to AppleInsider, the Mail app is about to undergo a significant transformation. It's getting a powerful new search tool, Smart Replies, automatic sorting for different email types, and more. But the real excitement lies in the app's expected integration of AI functionality, a feature becoming a hallmark of iOS 18.
