Don't worry about the white iPhone proximity sensor, it works just fine (reception improved too)

Those ten months of delay might have paid off.  The white iPhone 4, which goes on sale tomorrow, rocks a tweaked proximity sensor and slightly improved reception – if the non-scientific tests conducted by Italian-language site iSpazio are to be believed.

The above video claims that the white iPhone 4 model will automatically turn off its display when it detects an object such as your face or finger from a relatively larger distance compared to the black model which reacts to just nudging the face of the sensor.

As for the white iPhone 4 antenna performance, they noticed “a slight improvement” but it’s not conclusive. Another video after the break.
