    Yes, but if there's black paint behind that, it would work. I have no idea how Apple is doing this, and they obviously have problems that are serious or it would be out by now. But at first, we were reading that the problem was that they could only make these very slowly, and that they were waiting for sufficient supplies. Now, we read this. It's difficult to know what the truth really is.



    It just doesn't seem like such a difficult problem to solve. There are a lot of ways they could do it, though all would cost more. They could bond a very thin layer of metal behind the white paint. A couple tens thick would do. I can think of a number of other methods. It makes me wonder if this is really the problem.

    This flash problem looks all too familiar.



    Recently I purchased an aftermarket back-plate for my iPhone 4. They key problem with it is that it didn't include a grommet-style ring to block the flash LED from the camera itself. The end result was exactly as this movie depicted.



    Here's a few pictures that I took to show the issue:









    And now, the actual photos the iPhone camera had a problem taking with the flash off, and then on:









    My hunch is that this mysterious white iPhone has the same issue, and likely isn't a "tester" directly from Apple.
