So you’re not happy with that piano black iPhone you just cancelled your previous contract for? Fear not you picky color-picker person you, for there’s a white future in store. Simply return your black iPhone 4 to the Apple Store, and get it replaced by a white one. App Advice has confirmed this with Apple, and it’s honored as a store policy:

“If you are not satisfied with your iPhone purchase, please visit online Order Status or call 1-800-676-2775 to request a return. The iPhone must be returned to our warehouse within 30 calendar days from shipment to avoid an $175 early termination fee. The iPhone must be returned in the original packaging, including any accessories, manuals, and documentation.”

Though White iPhone 4 handsets aren’t expected until mid-July, so early adopters may not have the chance to reach that deadline if shipments are late – yet another reason you shouldn’t wait in line for the first day, “Just because.”

App Advice does provide a disclaimer that Apple may charge a 10% restocking fee for opened iPhones, but that isn’t clear quite yet.

Then again this hasn’t exactly been a major issue for other smartphones, so then the issue has to be debated about whether this was possible all along, or if this should even be occurring in the first place. Either way, it’s a problem that’s quite odd for the folks in Cuptertino, who consider it a, “non-issue.”
