White iPhone has different innards than its black counterpart
By The first tear down reports for the white iPhone 4 are coming in and it seems as though there are a few differences internally. The differences include a modified lens and proximity sensor.
According to the report, which drew its information from various Twitter posts, the sensor remains the same, but the “magnitude of the incident light” between the black and white iPhone 4 models is a different size.
Photo comparisons of the two devices seem to indicate that the rear-facing camera lens on the white iPhone 4 has been set farther back than its black counterpart.
Additionally, when compared to teardown photos of last year’s iPhone 4 model, the internal proximity sensor on the white model appears to have been changed as well, though the exact nature of the change remains unclear.
For more on the differences as well as some photos of the tear down check out the article by AppleInsider.
