[Merged] iPhone 4 pre-order only available in black / not available in white

[bradl]

True, atelast give people a heads up that the White version wont be available to pre order on the 15th so people who are ready to sell their 3GS wont be without a phone for gosh knows how long

Now, I'm just as upset as everyone else here for not having the white phone available, but it was YOUR decision to sell your phone. The smart thing you could have done was kept your phone in case something like this happens. We're not entitled to it being available for us whenever we want it, but it isn't Apple's fault you're about to sell your phone.

BL.

Well at least the mac mini got updated. Whooo.

This. For every single person under the age of 40 in the U.S.

So you won't be at the protest down in cupertino tommorow?

 

[Eso]

Isnt it possible that apple will start the white pre orders later in the day to help with the strain on the servers?

That would just make it worse for all the people who wanted white but went ahead and pre-ordered black instead. Oh, how I'd love to see this place then!

No. I'm upset, but it isn't the end of the world. I didn't sell my iPhone 3G, so I'm still good..

.. though Cupertino is only a 2 hour drive for me. I just might, just to see what's left of 1 Infinite Loop..

Fire-pissed.

I ordered a black 16Gb for one of my lines just to get the iPhone on day one. When the white is available, I will order a 32GB for another line.

They could've just said at WWDC, "White will be available later this summer." That's all I would've asked.

I don't want black. If I'm putting down $300 + a two year contract, I want the damn color I asked for.

And you can still get it, just later this summer.

But the point is they should have said that to begin with instead of waiting 'til the last second.

Where are you guys hearing/seeing that it will be available later this summer?

+1


And to the people (who obviously never cared about ordering white anyway) who keep saying we can order white later this summer... BS. That has not been confirmed officially! Besides, that is not the point! The white iPhone is in a TON of photos from the press who attended WWDC, and we were told it would be available in two colors, available for pre-order on June 15th. They f'd up, and that's the point. They are going to have some disappointed people, and will have to deal with us!

 

[Westin]

Honestly I cant believe they screwed us on this one

 

[ilifecomputer]

Hoping they're just not sure about numbers and there are whites at the store. I want white, preordered black anyways, and will see what news develops in the meantime and whether i can pick up a white on release day or not.

 

[Blueline29]

Which is bullsh*t, frankly. If something's not going to be available on time, don't pimp the hell out of it at WWDC and then spring the news on everyone last minute.

Man, I hope it's not after Labor Day.

 

[ziggyonice]

This makes it quite difficult for people who sold their previous models based on the expectation Apple gave for the phone to be available. Last minute changes like this aren't very ethical.

 

[Locoboof]

ONLY BLACK iPhone PRE-ORDER ON APPLE.COM???

what happen to white?!?!

 

[anjinha]

It's not only pre-orders it's for launch day as well. According to the article, white won't be available until later this summer, and we all know how long MMS took until "later last summer"

MMS had nothing to do with Apple, that was AT&T's issue. Everywhere else in the world MMS was available as soon as 3.0 was out.

Oh dear.

Welcome to 3 hours ago.

 

[KameronBriggs]

Old news....lol...well, nobody knows....could be a production problem, it's just not available for reserve or pre-order, and most likey won't be for launch. A bit of bull $h!t if you asked me.

They obviously aren't ready - not enough in stock.
If you're lucky, they will be ready before the 24th of June and it won't be a problem. Otherwise, possibly sometime in July, when the iPhone will be available in more countries. Don't take my word, though, I don't have a crystal ball.

Not worth a new thread, though. A reply to the news item would do.
