Sci/Tech Gasp! White iPhone 4 is thicker than black one!

[tom_mai78101]

(CNN) -- In the tech world, a fraction of a millimeter is enough space to to start an iPhone conversation.

A day after the long-awaited white iPhone 4 hit stores, Web chatter was focused on the fact that it appears to be a shade thicker than the 10-month-old black model. (Wired.com measures the difference at a whopping 0.2 millimeters).

So, what's the big deal? For most people, the answer is: "Nothing." But for some current (or, now, former) black iPhone owners, some models of tight-fitting, precision cases won't fit on their new phone. Relatively big cases should be fine.

To many observers, this is just further evidence that no detail about Apple gadgets is too trivial to go unreported.

(Add that to the ever-so-slightly different placement of the mute switch on the Verizon iPhone and you're creating the need for a veritable cornucopia of different iPhone cases. Sort of.)

I'm not sure at all how this is even mildly considered important, especially compared to the rest of the stuff that's going on in the world right now.

And what are you doing about the important things? Merely reading about them and sitting idly does nothing.

But I do agree, this is pretty unimportant. It is strange that Apple didn't change the specs to meet the change in size though.

Usually Apple releases new, otherwise identical products that are 0.2mm thinner, not thicker.

...If anything, the black should be bigger.

Apparently the thickness has something to do with the extra paint coating for sunlight protection

Most likely.

In any case I am surprised no one has addressed the fact that this is obvious Racism by the Apple Corporation.
