One report, it’s an anomaly. Two reports, maybe one’s fake. But more and more reports have been surfacing–with photos–of cracking white iPhone 3Gs. So is the white iPhone constructed in an inferior manner to the black model? Or are black iPhone 3Gs just better at hiding the cracks? We’re not sure, and there’s still too little info to know at this point whether the trend is something to be worried about. But does anyone in the audience have a cracked white iPhone in-hand?

Nothing so far on my white iPhone but my white macbook developed the same sort of cracks after a few weeks of use.

I have a 16GB white iPhone and have dropped it several times and there are no cracks on it yet. Not even a scuff mark, though it was in an office on carpet. But trust me, this carpet is not very soft, nor very cushioned.

I don’t think it’s cracking, I think its getting rubbed on something, and then a dark streak is being made from the material being rubbed off, or something of the sort.

i think the iphones are overheating, this allowing the material to crack.
