White iPhone 4 Slightly Larger than The Original

If you’re one of the folks who ran out to pick up a brand new white iPhone 4 from Apple this week, you might want to hold off on picking up a case for it just yet. The white iPhone is a little bigger than the black version, and by “little,” we really mean only about 0.2mm. 

Now that’s not a huge difference when it comes to how well it fits in your hand, or how well it actually makes calls or surfs the web, but where it’s a huge difference is when it comes to cases, peripherals, and other full-body devices designed to connect to the iPhone 4. Case manufacturers will have to redesign their cases to fit the slightly bigger device (unless we’re talking about bumpers and flexible cases, that is,) and peripheral manufacturers with stands, keyboard attachments, and other devices that clip onto the entire body of the iPhone will have to account for the ever-so-slight size difference. 

In the end, it won’t be long before you’ll head into your local electronics store and see iPhone cases along a wall marked with “AT&T – Black,” “AT&T – White,” “Verizon – Black” and “Verizon – White” on the packaging so you know which one to buy.
