White iPhone 4 is 0.2mm thicker

And on a related note iOS/Android:

Love this quote:

“The purchase of consumer electronic devices is not always a completely rational decision, and people buy Apple products for many different reasons, including status, aesthetics, functionality, quality and the ‘cool factor,’” Brian White, an analyst with Ticonderoga Securities, wrote in an April 27 research note.

Sure wish my iPod touch 4 was that thick and had that form factor. Oh well, I bulked it up with an OtterBox case. Now it feels manly in my hands.

Man, case makers must be pulling their hair out. First the Verizon iPhone shifts some buttons around, now the white one gets fatter?

Improved iPeel?...

i thought this was relating to another topic. Jk no for real i dont understand how so many people including consumer reports says it is not thicker. A picture can explain it all and this picture makes me want to cancel my subscription to consumer reports

Apple knows how to do the Jedi mind bending trick:

Steve Jobs waves his hand and tells you "Its not thicker" and then everyone repeats ....

"The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker

Just kiddin ....

Well a picture can explain it all, but doesn't mean it will explain it all

As he notes, who knows if the black iPhones are even within the supposed spec?
I think its just poor quality control.

You're looking at it wrong.

Maybe it needs more internal space to fit Apple's latest and most revolutionary invention: An internal antenna?

White paint is thicker than black paint.
