White iPhone 4 DELAYED. Officially

[wheezy]

Hard to believe they're capable of so much fail this year.

Uuuuh yeah. So much fail. About $3+ billion worth of profit fail in the last 3 months... that's a lot of fail. I wish I could fail that much.

 

[rdstoll]

Oh I remember when you were about more than profits...

The iPhone 4 launch showed their true stripes, but they've been hoodwinking their loyal followers for years. People just didn't want to admit it.

 

[christyn]

What a mess... Glad I bought black
Love the white back, cannot stand the white front.

Plan to do a mod with the white back shortly

Uuuuh yeah. So much fail. About $3+ billion worth of profit fail in the last 3 months... that's a lot of fail. I wish I could fail that much.

Yah dude, we could all retire happy people in a single year with that much fail, although i thought it was million...

 

[pmz]

haha..good on you apple...the end of july.....pmsl..2011!!!!

what a complete and utter cock up the iphone4 launch has been...

Yeah, the most successful Apple product launch ever. What a cock up!

 

[KJ500]

Problem solved

 

[Master Chief]

I was a little disappointed at first, but now I want a gold plated back instead. A lot more expensive, but also a lot more exclusive. A one of a kind iPhone 4 so to speak.

 

[Starhawk]

Damn, by the time the White iPhone 4 comes out, you might as well just wait for iPhone 5.

 

[Yinmay]

Apple brings the "victim of their own success" to a whole new level.

(with LG struggling to keep up with iPad screens too)

 

[ck10018]

This is just a ploy to even out demands and massage sale revenues to wow/appease Apple shareholders. At this point Steve's priority is to get AAPL stock to $300/sh. But Apple customers are being treated like a washed up mistress.

 

[wkdtime]

Yeah, the most successful Apple product launch ever. What a cock up!

Yeah that was up until the Antenna issue came to light, I wonder how many have been sold since then?

Was almost expecting something like this...

Zaphodz

Although, it would make sense. Heck, by the time it comes out, it could be a hybrid of the 4 and the 5. Apple has the opportunity to correct a few problems. It might be worth another teardown to see if they do...

 

[ericinboston]

Seriously...has there been any good publicity for the iPhone 4?

 

[HLdan]

You have your fanboy hat on?

Ipad had wifi problems, macbook pros have heat problems, imac 27 have yellow tint, crackling, fan problems.

iphone 4 reception, iphone 4 proximity sensor, iphone 4 lies etc

apple is screwing up. but fanboys refuses to see that, not odd of course. apple is so cocky it stinks, they should stop being so full of themselves.

You're calling someone else a fanboy because they are realistically thinking this through? Every company is delivering problematic devices. Guess you missed the recent news about the Droid X screen line problem? Well, it's not as popular as the iPhone 4 so lucky for Google they get to keep their problems more quiet while Apple takes the hit.

You calling someone else a fanboy and going down the list of Apple's problematic devices is laughable. Your signature I copied and pasted below says who the real fanboy is? Every device your complaining about having problems is something you bought from Apple or are PLANNING to buy in the future. Yeah, Steve Jobs is soooo cocky and arrogant but you're still giving him money, ha ha.


Macbook Pro 13,3" April 2010
iPad 64 GB - iPhone 3GS 32GB

Waiting for: New iMac 2010 - iPhone 4

 

[Got Haggis?]

it sucks, but i laugh at the people that returned their black iphones already.

 

[rockosmodurnlif]

Apple should just cancel it. Although I know a few people that are actually waiting for it to come out.

I can't see why it would be so hard to make a white iPhone 4. This isn't 1810...

I agree, they should just cancel the white model and turn the parts towards the black models.

Though I must say I don't quite understand the glee in these forums at the white models delay, you'd think they won something.

 

[res1233]

it sucks, but i laugh at the people that returned their black iphones already.

I laugh at early adopters. COME ON PEOPLE? Since when has it been a good idea to buy a product before it has been tested by anyone? Apple products are usually fine to buy without any review, because they usually are perfect at launch, but they aren't always. It's not smart to buy a product without knowing anything about it, plain and simple.

 

[mr.steevo]

We don't know why they're having delays exactly, so until we do, don't jump to conclusions.

This is a rumours site, isn't it?

Anyway,...

I figure they are working on the antenna problem with the white iPhone and will release the fix for both colours when the white is released.

s.

 

[sand0s]

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

gotta keep the hype machine rolling all year round.

BINGO!!! nothing "new" for the holiday season folks. this pretty much about confirms that. the white iphone 4 will be the hot ticket come december...

 

[room237]

The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black

Yes, the black is definitely more popular. It seems as if NO ONE has a white one.

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.

Chinese believe no 4 is a bad luck

If Apple owned by Chinese I think they not going to name the new phone iphone 4... it's a sign of bad luck.. friend told me that pronunciation fo 4 in Chinese is almost similar to die or something.... Well that if they believe in numbers...

But it seems that iphone 4 stir so many problem such as ordering problem, antenna problem, now manufacturing problem and who know what is tomorrow problem..

Oh not to forget suicide problem....

 

[Battlefield Fan]

Omg I hate apple. Ugh. I waited patiently for one and this is how they treat me? I bet we won't even get free bumpers with our phones. Screw you apple.

ummm... ok. keep laughing. this phone is far and away better than any phone on the market. 0 regrets making the move from the 3GS to the 4 after waiting in line at the at&t store overnight on 6/29. it's funny, i'm not experiencing the "problems" a handful of others seem to be, maybe i'm lucky. of course, i discovered the 3GS had the same attenuation problems the same day reports hit about the 4, so i knew there was nothing new or natural about it. proximity sensor? nope, nothing... so i don't know. you take away all of the bitching and there's really nothing bad to say about the phone.

 

[sm2teach]

I am so disappointed. I have the 3g and have been holding off for the white phone.

I'm going to go ahead and get the black. I'll get the white iPhone 5 using my husbands upgrade next year and hand the ip4 down to him.

Luckily I called my small town ATT and they have a black 32g in stock.

 

[Ademius]

September?

The Swedish carrier Telia yesterday posted estimated first supply of White iPhone 4s in September. I wonder if that still applies, and/or if they received and prior info to the pr statement, seeing as the white ones were to be ready by end of july.

"The white model of the iPhone 4 will not be available at launch on July 30.
Estimated delivery is in early September."
