Looks like Apples stance on this little fiasco has just gotten even more weird. Despite many pictures around the web comparing the standard iphone4 and the white iphone 4, Mr. Schiller seems to think that they're all wrong and wants to stick by the Apple spec sheet.

"Buyers of the ivory-tinted model of Apple’s iPhone 4 have been shocked in recent days to find that the device is .2 millimeters thicker than its ebony sibling. Even better, the controversy has reached such a critical mass that it has spawned its own title: sizegate.

But according to Apple’s Phil Schiller, observers have got it all wrong. In a message to a reader of 9to5Mac, the senior vice president denied reports that Apple increased the depth of the iPhone in its transition to a lighter hue.

“It is not thicker, don’t believe all the junk that you read,” Schiller wrote in a message on Twitter.

Schiller sounds convinced, but the Apple executive will have a hard time disproving the slew of comparison shots that clearly say the opposite.

In the specifications page for the device, Apple maintains that the white iPhone 4 keeps the 9.3 millimeter depth of its predecessor, but many iPhone owners have observed otherwise.  Some of these owners have even noticed that cases made for the black iPhone 4 don’t fit the newer white version of the phone. Why these owners would want to hide their phones’ pretty white exterior is as yet unknown."
