Statement by Apple on White iPhone 4

PR Newswire

CUPERTINO, Calif., July 23

CUPERTINO, Calif., July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 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.

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.

 

[jonnyb]

Well of course the black ones are more popular...they're the only ones available

Hello Steve Jobs

Just avoid building it that way.

Well as long as you got yours fine, I guess its all good - for the rest of us, its been a different story....

 

[RiceRacerDX]

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.

Where did you see this? I don't see it on the Apple site.

Black is more popular. I'm still laughing over that one.....

You can have any color you want.......as long as it's black.

 

[Adisah]

I'll believe it when there is a link to the apple pr post but until then. Nah.

Anyone could just copy and paste a pr press release and change a couple of words.

K I lose, aww man I want the white one. (edit)

It's right there in black and well, um, coming later this year.

 

[fishmoose]

Haven't been able to do that for almost 150 years...

Haha xD

Wow. Bad play by Apple and Jobs after announcing late July.

there IS a link posted

 

[DoNoHarm]

ouch. steve must be pissed.

 

[talkingfuture]

Meh, I don't think it looks that good in white anyway. I wonder if they have prototyped some other colours. Blue might look good.

 

[henrikrox]

Oh my god, no iphone 4 for me until white is available, damn apple has screwed up much lately, imac screens, iphone reception, now white models....

 

[ianham]

LOL. Stevie is a LIARRRRR.

 

[tdream]

self imposed delay so they have something sell during a period of low activity.

gotta keep the hype machine rolling all year round.

 

[ano0oj]

maybe foxxcon is having some trouble

 

[aforty]

Are you kidding me?!?

Agh... I could have had a black on launch day. I could have had a black two weeks later. I could have had a black a week ago... I waited because I thought this thing would become available... f&%@ this...

That's just as credible as saying that they actually have a problem manufacturing the phone. We don't know why they're having delays exactly, so until we do, don't jump to conclusions.

it is on the apple pr site....
