You might think my comment was stupid, or perhaps ludicrous, but please explain to me what about it was ignorant?

Not knowing that many men bought white iPhone 3GSs is ignorant.

It could mean that the iPhone 5 will keep the same form factor as the iPhone 4. If it dose they can easily use the white outer shells they are now making for the iPhone 4 in the iPhone 5.
I'll pick up the white if someone is willing to trade straigh across. My black, for their white. Just to switch it up since I've had this black since the first launch. I didn't want white in the first place but eh why not.

Excuse me, but I'm a guy with a White iPhone 3GS. As far as the new one I'm waiting for the iPhone 5 to upgrade. Color: haven't decided will decide in store side by side.

I was only making an affirmative assertion regarding the white iPhone and the female population. Affirmative statements about one sex do not insinuate, nor should one infer, equally negative assertions for the opposite sex. It's not a zero sum event. The phone can be wildly popular among all demographics. But it will be women's fashion mags (moreso than men's) that will portray it as a hot fashion accessory for the season. This is my opinion obviously.

Any chance they drop the price by $50 or something?
I just don't see how they will sell too many of these unless there is at least a small incentive.

White iPhones do not get tracked; just ask a black one and it'll tell you it can't go anywhere without being watched.
There's my sarcasm for the night.

Because it took so long? Heaven forbid that they delay a product that is having problems, that just wouldn't make any sense. If you mean it is disgraceful that thy haven't been more open about the entire situation then I couldn't agree more.

Actually the leak probably didn't cost them many if any sales. After two summers of new iphones coming out most folks were probably not buying on the assumption that last summer would be the same. And would have made that assumption without the leak.
Just like this year they are making that assumption (cause most of them don't read the blogs to know about the whole Sept rumor) and aren't buying unless they absolutely have to
Ok guys, you took on the "white is for girls only" guy, I get a shot at this one
Here we go:
Two months before WWDC, you say? Are they going to start selling a new iPhone at WWDC? NO. Are they going to at least announce a new iPhone at WWDC? Well, if you read: THIS BLOG - NO.
So, what does WWDC have to do with a new iPhone? Nothing, in our collective knowledge here. You may think something different, but calling me an idiot simply because I don't live inside your brain is... not very smart, to put it mildly.
Edit: Yep. I'm buying one. My 3G is on it's last legs, I like white better than black, and "5" is 5 or 6 months away at least (and not promising much of an upgrade from 4 either)
I was beginning to worry about you. Your recent posts were not annoying in the least. Glad to see you're still you.
Reason it isn't a disgrace: The white enclosure apparently was causing trouble with the camera due to light leakage. You would most likely be calling that disgraceful if they had indeed released a 500$ phone with that rather huge flaw, so I guess they can't win.
I know the reason, or the supposed reason (who knows, Apple has been as tight lipped as ever on the issue) . If true, its a disgrace it made it to the keynote presentation, without the issue being identified or a reasonable fix found. I don't care how you square it - being 10 months late for a device who has an average life of 12 months is utter incompetence and hence disgraceful.
Hats off for Apple sticking to it, but that does not take away from the fact that they should never have made the promise w/o a better understanding of production issues. The iPhone 4 design has been around since at least January 2010, per spy shots of the iPad before release. So, its not as if the design was so new that they could claim there was no time to identify the issue until after the June 2010 keynote by Steve Jobs.
if that happens
The camera issue actually only occurred in white iPhones where people bought unofficial knockoff parts to modify their black iPhones. People who were lucky enough to get the few real deal Foxcon parts experienced no issues. However, I do believe that white was delayed because (among economic reasons) the backlight bled through the glass and was very noticeable in dark settings.
