iPhone 4 Shipping Estimates Improve to 5-7 Business Days in U.S.

In a sign that Apple's supply crunch for the iPhone 4 may be beginning to ease, shipping estimates for both the 16 GB and 32 GB models have improved to 5-7 business days on the company's U.S. online store. Shipping estimates in stores for other countries remain, however, at three weeks.
Analysts had noted as early as mid-August that Apple's ramping of iPhone 4 production should enable the company to ease shortages by the end of September, a prediction that does appear to now be beginning to come about.

(View all)OK, not really, but that's how some news sites will interpret this.
Glad to see Apple is trying to keep up with demand, but 5-7 days still means a crunch.
What about the whites?
They'll release the white ones once the black ones ship same day :p
Android must be crushing the iPhone!!!!!!

I've been using an Android phone since the i4 shipped... can't wait to get back to an iPhone. All you need is a case to fix the i4's primary flaw. I wish there was such a simple fix for ANdrOID.
It was a good experience and my box was labeled "9/22" which I'm assuming means that was when they got in stock.
What about the whites?
I'm surprised they just haven't announced that the white one's are cancelled.

Don't believe the media hype - 99.5% of people don't experience this 'issue' - it tends to be those in very poor signal areas. None of my friends around the world experience this issue to any more extent that sometimes losing one or two signal bars, it doesn't affect their ability to make or receive calls.

Apple will announce white for "White Christmas" and make another billion.
