A few days ago I received an email from Apple.com with their announcement of the availability of the white iPhone. Only Apple can create such a big hoopla around the availability of such an essential feature such as color.

I wouldn’t be surprised if die-hard Apple fans would line up to get a white iPhone.  Some of my friends are figuring out the Apple marketing scam.  They dupe their loyal and die-hard customers into buying a new iPhone through the incremental introduction of features.  Here are some of the most obvious examples:

• The original iPhone didn’t have a camera facing the user.  The iPhone 4 added that feature.
• The original iPhone was in silver/black color; now there is white!
• The original iPhone had its buttons located in a certain position; the new iPhone made some slight design changes, causing the buttons to move by a  few millimeters–enough so that you can’t use your existing or current iPhone cases with the new iPhone 4 phones.

Here’s what I predict Apple will do to squeeze more moola from its loyal customer base.  In a future release of iPhone, Apple will include or offer:

• A micro SD slot; NOT! Memory limitation or restriction is what keeps users coming back for more iPhones.
• Flash player-capable iPhone
• Standard USB interface
• A 100% silver colored iPhone.

That’s all I can think of right now.  If you have other ideas to add, please post in the comments section.
