Nearly a year after it was promised, the white iPhone 4, that rarest of handsets, is finally headed to market, perhaps as soon as this week. Will its arrival have any material impact on sales?

The publication warned on Friday that the Verizon iPhone is also susceptible to the so-called “death grip,” in which signal strength drops when the device is held a certain way.

There weren’t a ton of surprises with the Verizon iPhone. In most respects it is identical to the iPhone 4. It’s running on Verizon’s older CDMA network and not the new 4G LTE network.
The biggest deal so far is that it can act as a mobile hotspot, allowing several PCs or devices to share its wireless connection. No details yet on pricing for that.
