  • iPhone 4s shows up on AT&T’s employee database

    iPhone 4s shows up on AT&T’s employee database

    Not only is is an iPhone 4S but its a white iPhone 4S. Thats right a new SKU has been found on the AT&T employee database in the US. ATT&T is the primary partner since the initial launch of the iPhone back in 2007.  An employee found the AT&T’s internal system, listing the “iPhone 4s White” along with the usual Apple devices.

    The interesting part of this whole mystery is that a black version is nowhere to be found. Does that mean – Apple is taking out a Special edition iPhone 4 which will be available in white only. Or does it mean that the next budget iPhone 4 will also be available in white from launch. 

    Questions ….. questions….!
