Apple's great white hope hits Australia The new white iPhone 4. AFTER months of speculation, delays and gnashing of teeth from Apple addicts, the company has finally announced it will release a white iPhone 4 in Australia. Available from today, the phone in no way differs from the top-selling black version which has been on sale since last June. That hasn't stopped frustrated iPhone lovers worldwide agitating for its arrival. "The white iPhone 4 has finally arrived and it's beautiful," Apple's senior vice-president of Worldwide Product Marketing Philip Schiller said yesterday. We appreciate everyone who has waited patiently while we've worked to get every detail right. The news comes as Apple broke its silence more than a week after it was accused of secretly tracking the movements of iPhone 4 owners. The alleged practice was exposed by two UK researchers at a technology conference in San Francisco, who said they had discovered a secret file on users' phones containing latitude and longitude co-ordinates along with a time stamp. The revelation led to security experts' warnings that anyone who stole the phone could access details of places visited by its owner. Apple had remained silent on the claims, but yesterday denied it was tracking customers' movements.
