Apple Delays White iPhone 4 Until Later This Year


Apple today announced that they have further delayed the launch of the white iPhone 4 until later this year:

White models of Apple's new iPhone 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.

The White iPhone 4 had reportedly been delayed due to quality control issues related to the white coloring on the front glass.

Not really, I got mine with no problem.

Of course if apple pushed them out with crappy coloring, you people would bitch about that. They are damned if the do, damned if they don't.

That sucks for the people who held out and skipped the initial release of the black iPhone 4...and for the people who returned the black iPhone 4's in hopes that a white iPhone 4 release would be imminent. I hope it's still worth it.
