White iPhone 4 delayed further to "later this year"

Waiting for a white iPhone 4? Stop holding your breath and start making chalk marks on the wall, because it's going to be a while longer.

Just one week ago, the white iPhone 4 delay was mentioned at the Apple press event, with an ETA for the end of July. This morning, however, Apple put out a very brief press release citing manufacturing challenges and a new delivery estimate for the white model: "later this year."

Modders, put on your thinking caps -- your window of opportunity has been extended.

Hey elDaz2,

I really want a retro apple sticker for my white iPhone 4 like you have, but the guy who was selling them is no longer on that website. Since you bought one do you have any contact info for him? I would really want one can you or anyone help me on this subject???

I gave in... Black one on order. If this white phone comes out 31 days after I get my 2nd choice... I'll burn something down.

I have purchase the new Iphone 4 and found it to be awesome and does everything that the company suggests... Had no issue with the aerial or the coverage at all.. i am even filming video with a specially made iphone attachment and that works great.

Photos on...

Just forget the paint altogether... how cool would a limited-edition, clear-case iPhone 4 be?

I think the answer is even simpler than the ones suggested. Do you really believe in this day and age they are having that much of a problem fabricating the white material? Apple has stated that anyone not satisfied with their iPhone 4 can return it. "No questions asked. "Well, if they release the white iPhone 4 now, a lot of people will return their black iPhones for a spanking new white one just for the hell of it; myself included. So I believe Apple is just waiting for that "No questions asked" grace period to expire before releasing the white iPhone 4.

Are there seriously people that are still really holding out for a white phone? I thought that was just a generic excuse for non-early adopters to explain their decision to wait.

Just buy a black one with a white case already!

It's about choice. I've owned a white iPhone 3G, a white iPhone 3GS and I want a white iPhone 4. I'll gladly wait and won't concede to buying the black model.

It's about being just a little unique. I rarely see the white models (3G 3GS) around. I'll wait if that's what it takes. My 3GS is still kicking just fine. However, the fact that's it's not until later this year is annoying. Apple should be a little more open about the problems or simply not offer a white model with any further releases of the iPhone.

One more reason to wait for the iPhone 5. Hope they release a software fix that will make my (White) iPhone 3G a little more responsive on iOS 4.

It's sad how, with the iDevices, Black seems to have become Apple's official and the more popular colour. Guess Black is the new White!! :(

These news will also be known as "the day when Steve Jobs fisted 100,000 would-be buyers in one afternoon" thanks a bunch Crapple, for letting everyone who wanted the white one wait for it in vain.. : ( aside from already treating Swedish buyers like crap. We have a week left until it's released here, and it's impossible to pre-order and no one even knows what the phone is gonna cost. We may be a small market, but ppl here love the iPhone juz as much!
