The New iPhone 2012 In White Looks Amazing Too

If the new iPhone 2012 looks beautiful in black—in all its 80s Sony-ish glory—the renderings of the white model are even prettier. The aluminum and chrome unibody with the white accents looks just gorgeous. Read More >>

Just a shame that both have been ruined by having flags stuck on the front (and backside) of each radio. Read More >>
