White iPhone 4 DELAYED. Officially

It does affect me, as I'm definitely not purchasing a black iPhone 4. My phone is a big part of my life, as it's always my gateway to the internet and my online gang of friends.
Well if you see things that way life will continue to be a big disappointment for you. I'm sure your word is bond
Maybe Apple is planning to make a running change to the antenna (non-conductive coating?) and simply wants to withhold the white iPhone 4 until after that production change?
Just thinking out loud.

Well, I wouldn't lie to an entire region/state and then announce my true intentions on national television and publicly humiliate them. But that's just me. And, as far as business, he's making less money in Miami.
Nice attempt to ignore the current issue about the screen lines problem with the Droid X by saying everything positive about it accept for that.
No your color issue is a big part of your life. You can still do all those things with a black iPhone. So this "my iPhone is a big part of my life" is bull. Can't have much of a life if it depends on a white iPhone. That little device can be taken away anytime SJ feels it's time for a change. I wonder what will happen to your life then.
They told people to turn off their WiFi because it interfered with the presentation everyone wanted to see...wow, arrogant indeed.
At the press conference, in case you missed it, Apple admitted the issue. Let's state that again: they admitted the issue. They also (apparently unreasonably) pointed out that other cell phones have the issue as well, and that 0.55%of iP4 owners---that's slightly over one-half a percent, not 55% which is apparently how the posters all over the web must understand it judging from the petulance---have experienced the issue enough to even complain about it. 99.45% did not complain about it. Yeah, the arrogance and dishonesty is rampant. Not at all like the whiners who are acting as if their left testicle has been removed.
If you have the issue, or even if you don't, Apple will fix it or give you all your money back. You will not be harmed in the making of a phone call to the 800 number.
In the real world, production schedules slip all the time; release dates are estimated dates subject to everything going according to plan. Sometimes production machinery breaks down, raw materials are delayed, work instructions/SOPs have to be revised and processes revalidated, the upscaling processes are problematic, etc. This is not "lying". Someday you'll get it.
"They do and say what they want not carring [sic] if it is true or not." What do you mean, exactly?
I blame Apple for this. Apple is one of those companies that doesn't want to deal with things. If it were RIM or Nokia, they would be more hands on. They would fly people down the same or next day. But Apple is an entirely different company. They make ridiculous demands and let the supplier handle things, when Apple should be. So the supplier keeps quiet until it's too late. Nokia, RIM would know of the situation because they are more hands on. Guess I'll have to go down to the Apple store and put my name down for the 32GB iPhone 4.
agree almost 100% but in regards to the .55% that called to complain, the number can be misleading. As the issues with the antenna became hot news items, alot of people saw no point in calling and getting nowhere, but to wait it out for a fix. Same goes for people that read tech blogs like engadget
When you get to his position then talk. You are not standing where he was so all you have is a prediction on how you would handle it.
As far as Maimi, that's his "business".
Color issue is a big part of my life as I have horrible OCD and fingerprints bother me. I even take medication for my ocd, so it's fairly severe. A white model wouldn't show the fingerprints as bad, so I will not purchase a black iPhone 4.
Really? Since Apple has sold over 3 million iPhones within a month's time I think they can afford to lose a few whiners on an Android forum.
And which color phone are they gonna get when switching to the Android? I guess another black one.
i can understand the OCD thing, but in the case of fingerprints....they are on the white, and your white is going to appear much dirtier so how will the OCD treat ya then?
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
Oh god I just thought of something. There are going to be 200 threads today titled "WAHHHHHH I can't get mah white iPhone 4 WAHHHHHHHH"
Think I'll log out for the day/weekend
Thanks for the update. Keep us informed.
The white may have the fingerprints, but it will not show them. I have very clean hands because I wash them like crazy (also part of my ocd) so I deal with white devices much better than you might think. I also clean my iPhone each time I go out, so it wouldn't show dirt.
Someone in his position shouldn't have different morality than anyone else. He lied. That's all these is about it. He lied and then publicly told everyone he lied. People just didn't see all the things he said to the Clevelanders through the years. Oh well. This is totally off topic and we're always going to disagree. I know that most of the nation, other than Miami, is on my side. So.
well in that case, understandable. Me personally, my white ipod classics were disasters same with my mophie juice air white pack for my 3g.
