Unlock Baseband 05.14.02 is Just One Day After iOS 4.2 is Public

Here's some good news for all people over there waiting for baseband 05.14.02 unlock on iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. Few days ago, MuscleNerd the iPhone hacker of the iPhone Dev Team has replied a user asking him about iPhone 3GS unlock on iOS 4.1. the reply will satisfy you a lot.

Here's what MuscleNerd tweeted in reply to the guy:

MuscleNerd: if you’re on 3G or 3GS, just a day or 2 at most after 4.2 is public (just enough time to verify stuff)

This reply brings both bad and good news, why? because he didn't mention anything about iPhone 4 baseband 02.10.04, this may indicates that iPhone 4 unlock may be delayed and not released at this time.

iOS 4.2 should be released early in November (this is very near). To sum it all up, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G on baseband 05.14.02 will get the unlock early in November. Stay tuned as we will keep you informed whenever iOS 4.2 is available and followed by the unlock.

If you’ve been waiting for a white iPhone 4, you’ll wait more. Today's reports from Pocket-lint shows a real whiteiPhone 4 spotted in New York. They spotted a reporter at a recent press event using his white iPhone 4. They went near to him and they asked about the way he got it, he answered that a friend of his at Apple HQ hooked him up with the device. Then, they asked him about the reason of delay.

Well, according to our jacket wearing gent, Apple is having trouble getting its two suppliers in the

Far East to match the white used in the manufacturing of the parts. The white home button

colour doesn’t match the white front face plate colour, it turns out.

here have been a lot of reasons floating on the web as color issues and light leak. In my opinion, I don't think that this home button would take much. Well, I don't think that Apple would delay a device for months because of matching the color of a button. What do you think?
