White iPhone rumored as Apple Store goes down globally

It was bound to happen sometime, and today is as good as any other post-holiday day to launch the mythical white iPhone 4 . While normally we’d consider a Wednesday night shuttering of the global Apple store to be maintenance-related, a tweet identifying a pair of supposed white iPhone part numbers — MC604X/A (16GB) and MC606X/A (32GB) — has surfaced, attributed to an established last-minute Apple insider known only as ” Mr. X ” in various tech forums. Mind you, ” spring ” was the last official timeframe for a white iPhone release. But please, we beg you… don’t say that it’s early if it does appear when the Apple Store returns to business later today — we don’t want anyone to get hurt in the comments. Update: Apple.com has undergone a subtle redesign, with the navigation bar up top taking on a shinier new look, though the Store remains down. A little bit of web-based multitasking, eh Apple?
