Woz flashes fake white iPhone 4 on CNN
You've got to hand it to Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. Although he hasn't really done anything for the company since 1987, he is becoming quite the TV star. He's been a competitor on Dancing with the Stars, did a cameo on Big Bang Theory, and was recently seen on CNN flashing a white iPhone 4.
A white iPhone 4? You mean one of those oft-delayed mythical beasts that may actually appear in the spring of 2011?
Well, it turns out that Woz is having the last laugh. The white iPhone 4 is actually a fake. Woz purchased a set of white front and back plates from the young entrepreneur that Apple later shut down, and modded his iPhone 4 with the plates.
We think that Woz just wanted to have a white iPhone 4 before "that other Steve" got one.

He used it in public for a while, I saw it in person, it's pretty nice. He stopped using it in public a little before Apple pushed back the white iPhone date the first time. I don't know if he still has it, but now he's sporting a black iPhone 4.
Anyway, the point was-- I highly doubt that he could get his hands on one but Woz couldn't.
Wait, so you are telling me that once Woz got one of the white cases, he then decided to use the case to his liking, then proceed to shut the site down? Wow.
