Foxconn Denies Selling White iPhone Components

Foxconn Denies Selling White iPhone Components

If you look at MacStories’ sidebar, you can see there’s a banner with a white iPhone 4. He’s from the kid (Fei Lam) who runs WhiteiPhone4Now.com, the same kid who has been making the rounds of the internet this week with rumors of Apple going after him with a private investigator to find out how he managed to get the components. Lam apparently told the press he got the components from Foxconn itself, but now Hon Hai (Foxconn’s parent company) is denying any Foxconn worker ever sold white iPhone parts.

Foxconn Technology Group employees didn’t sell white iPhone casings and other parts as reported by media including the Apple Daily, its flagship Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. said in a statement to the Taiwan Stock Exchange today.

Now, I don’t know what are the legal implications behind this whole story, mostly because it seems like Lam also managed to raise some good bucks out of his “conversion kits”. But I do know one thing: he’s just a kid.
