A Japanese Apple blog MacOtakara reports (via Google Translate) that Apple has changed both camera lens and proximity sensor on the white iPhone. Teardown photos of White iPhone 4 below.
According to the report, which drew its information from various Twitter posts, the sensor remains the same, but the “magnitude of the incident light” between the black and white iPhone 4 models is a different size.
Photo comparisons of the two devices shows that the rear-facing camera lens on the white version has been set farther back than its black counterpart.

It is quite possible that these changes are made because of the light leakage issues in the sample models of the smartphone.
