While the white iPhone 4 was beginning to look more like an unicorn a while ago, the device is actually getting closer to its release hour. Engadget has a very interesting scoop, from a very lucky guy in the UK that received a 16GB white iPhone 4 by mistake, instead of the black unit that he was supposed to have bought.

Vodafone UK is responsible for this mistake and already has a notice out, telling salesmen to stop shipping devices till next week. As we’ve previously learned, the handset is supposed to debut next week, with the most likely date being April 27th. If this is real or not we’ll find out soon enough, but till then we can only envy the guy with the leaked unit…

We remind you that the white iPhone 4 was delayed multiple times, due to production issues and it has only now managed to reach the hands of the public.
