Apple exec confirms white iPhone 4 arrival

Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller has Tweeted that the white iPhone 4 will be out "this spring".

Of course, Apple said as much back in December 2010, but Schiller's Tweet suggests that it might actually happen this time, and not merely be delayed - as it was the past three times Apple announced the white iPhone 4.

Schiller was also quick to quip that the handset "is a beauty", but then he would say that, wouldn't he?

Apple is rumoured to be readying an early April announcement for iOS 5 and changes to its MobileMe online service. ®
