LOFL at people who got a black knowing they wanted a white, and then returned it
Maybe next time you'll be more patient instead of feeling like you have to be cool and get a shiny new iPhone when everyone else does.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wait until iPhone 5. It's no big deal.

ObviouslyWell of course the black ones are more popular...they're the only ones available
are you kidding? This is the first time we've seen apple slightly mess up in the past 5 years.

I'm wondering the same thing. how'd it go from weeks of a delay to suddently end of the year (possible 5 months)? that sounds like they don't have hope of it being possible to manufacturer.
I'm guessing they found out the "flaw" in the black iPhone antenna and are now correcting it for the white ones. So all the people with the white iPhone won't have any problems with their reception making the "small percentage" of black iPhone users even smaller.
There.....I said it.

Steve Jobs = LIAR
Apple = LIAR
Such a shame, way to really eff things up Apple. Especially after allowing people to see employees have them.

So, are we to believe no issues with black???
Hmmm, let's see. They announce new iphones. They only release ONE on the scheduled date...the black one...and the white one is "delayed" much to the consternation of everyone who wanted one...which seems to be a LOT of folks. Then, problems reported with the black ones already out...seems like Apple didn't research of fully vet the antenna/reception issues...but wait, there's a delay on the white one...because of quality control issues. Now, here we are...end of July...and delayed again UNTIL LATER THIS YEAR (???) (!!!)...because of QC issues with the glass. To quote SNL...Really Apple? No issues with the black one? Really? All phones have issues? Just a coincidence? A fact of life? Just the way it is? REALLY?

self imposed delay so they have something sell during a period of low activity.
gotta keep the hype machine rolling all year round.
You can't make a statement like that without having the presence of mind to read the minutes from their earnings call, surely?
They can't keep up with demand currently, and could really do without the negative PR, given the messy launch thus far. Additionally, further negative PR stems from Apple's recent announcement that it would be available at month end. The second and third parts of that sentence didn't actually require reading the earnings call, come to think of it - a little common sense wouldn't go amiss, though!
