Apple today released the following statement:
White models of Apple’s new iPhone 4 have proven more challenging to manufacture than expected, and as a result they will not be available until the second half of July.
The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.

Dang, that’s racist!
Uh huh, Obama gets elected and now this.
I get it.
where is link? is this official or what?
this guy is pissed off about the facetime app
Now I will really want a white i4!
what does challenging to manufacture mean??
W
No coating and they turn brown in the sun. Getting a good SPF 50 coating is hard to do without turning them yellow.
Well . . . Shit.
This is mixed news for me. I was hoping the whites would be in the stores tomorrow in limited quantities. So I’m bummed I won’t be getting a white tomorrow.
On the brighter side, I’ll get the black tomorrow and can buy a white one later in July. It’s like having two Apple Summer Christmases! And this on top of my iPad birthday.
Apple keeps on giving!
Once you go black — you never go back.
Black is the new white.
Glad to know. I was wondering where are all the white ones at.
Cheers!
Stromtrooper iPhone or Vader?
I think that there’s a wire mesh window above the earpiece to camo the sensors and that was the issue. They either changed it or had problems getting the different front piece. That’s my thoughts.

I like the black one better because when the display is off, the whole front side looks like a black slate; it looks like the whole front surface might be the screen. On the white one, the rectangle of the screen is obvious, so it does not look as elegant.
But as usual, some people just want what’s harder to get. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />
That means we’ll get them in less than a month from now which is the same time frame as those that ordered Black a day after ore-orders started. 😀 Great news.
WHITE is the new Black.
I thought about holding out for a white one, but I got to thinking about the home button. I could imagine finger gunk getting around it making for an unsightly ring.
That was my excuse for having to have one right now, anyway ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />
A yellowish iPhone 4 would be hilarous!
From now on bing and decide. http://www.bing.com
I guess Walt Mossberg must be feeling special, because he has a white one.
I wonder how many focus groups M$ put on to come to the conclusion that brown was the perfect color for the Zune.

> A yellowish iPhone 4 would be hilarous!
