White iPhone 4 Delayed Once Again Until Spring 2011

[poptopia]

white iphone...

why not just order thru colorware and get your white, green, red, or yellow iphone there?

 

[ivassilis]

Might as well just wait for iPhone 5 now.

If this spring 2011 rumor is true, we can safely assume there won't be much of a change on the external of the iPhone 5 and/or the white model will be also delayed...

 

[southernpaws]

Apple really screwed up on this one, I was undecided between the white and black and decided to wait so I could see both in person. apparently I have some will power because here I am still waiting...

I had already decided I would just wait till iphone 5 before this and this is just the nail in the coffin. Apple lost out on some money, at this point i'm running a beat up 3g and I've contemplated looking at an android!! this could all have been prevented apple!!

This is a fine case of someone who wants apple products because it scores them style points. Functionality is unaffected by color, so just get the black one.

Besides, people act like the i5 is right around the corner. It's 8-9 months away.

I think the only thing that is getting more delays than the white iPhone, is Gran Turismo 5

 

[idrewuk]

I can't believe they're finding it so difficult to produce! WTF is the problem... it's some white paint instead of black paint. Honestly, get it sorted ladies!!

HAHA!!! Nice one!!

I wonder what's going on with all the delays? Unless they're just going to wait to release the white one along side a slight revision of the iPhone (ie 3G/3GS)??

Read: The White iPhone 4 is cancelled.

Only market and advertise product that you actually have the ability to sell.

One word: Microsoft.

I guess I am not officially waiting for iPhone 5. Sheesh, I can't believe I waited this long. I don;t even care anymore, any excitement I had is now slowly being converted into iPhone 5 anticipation. The mythical iPhone 4 white version is easily the most beautiful phone on the market, I have friends that have been laughing at me since release waiting for that sucker! I guess I am the sucker now.

Tell me about it. I'm not sure what to do now. My 3g is driving me insane, I think its going to explode one of these days.

Isn't promising a product to customers & then never releasing it illegal? I definitely remember IBM doing this and they got into lots of trouble, why isn't anybody regulating Apple's claims?

At least give us an explanation for the delays

No. It isn't illegal. Ill-advised, maybe? Illegal? No.

 

[Stridder44]

The iPhone gets update every summer. So why even bother at this point? They'll release it sometime in the Spring and then come summer they'll introduce the iPhone 5.

 

[CWallace]

It appears scaling the production process from a few hundred "proof of concept" units to a few hundred thousand a month has been significantly harder than Apple and their suppliers expected.

But if they did release a product with any defect, past experience knows that the userbase complaining about the delays would be complaining twice as loud about the defect.

For all these people whining about a color...
Wow.

 

[GregAndonian]

Maybe the reason Apple is interested in buying Sony is because THEY know how to make a white phone...

Big ***** deal. Get over it folks and get a black one...

 

[firewood]

Isn't promising a product to customers & then never releasing it illegal?

Certainly more legal than releasing a defective product!

 

[GregAndonian]

Certainly more legal than releasing a defective product!

You mean like the iPhone 4 antenna?

(Oh no he DIDN'T! )

 

[finnns2000]

Wow, DAGGER. I've been holding onto a dying 3G because of this wait, now it's either Black or wait another half a year.

Failboat.

 

[meeksdigital]

white looks stupid anyway. why you'd put white anywhere around a screen is beyond me.

 

[124151155]

Wow. I'm really disappointed with Apple.
I'm going to get an Android now, I'm sick of waiting for a product that's never going to exist.

 

[xerenthar]

Phone that will spend most of its time in a case will not be released because of its least important feature. Who cares?

cases are for suckers. waiting for white iPhone 5!

 

[ComputersaysNo]

So let's say that the Iphone5 will be available in black and white. If they can't figure out the white glass now, it means the iphone5 will not be made of glass then?

 

[OGDaniel]

OH Apple, I love you even with all your flaws.

 

[Veinticinco]

For all those people saying "who cares" well Apples does, or rather did.

Make no mistake this is an embarrassment for them. And an annoyance for those of us who were patient despite the ever-shifting goalposts on this one.

I almost feel like not getting a 4 just out of spite. In fact, hopefully my white 3G will continue doing everything I ask of it and I won't need to buy a 4 yet.

Don't understand how they can launch it, release a limited number to their media cronies (e.g. tech editors of NYT, Stephen Fry etc.) and then shrug and go "errrr....we're having problems making it". Stinks.
