Apple delays White iPhone 4.

Apple says that “White models of Apple’s new iPhone® 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture” than they originally expected. Previously at July 16 Press Conference, Steve Jobs said that the White iPhone 4 would be available sometimes late July 2010.

What is really happening with the White iPhone 4?

John Gruber summed it up in one sentence:

Every smartphone maker has trouble manufacturing white ones. It’s an industry-wide problem.

Good one, John!

Is this really a “bad news” for Apple?

I know there are people who are holding off buying iPhone 4 because they want the White one. Apple should have just canceled the White iPhone 4 and make them buy the “more popular” iPhone 4 black models.

What in the world is Apple saying?

The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.

Is this some kind of joke?

Apple, you can not say that iPhone 4 black is the more popular model. Because no one can order the White iPhone 4. Not since the pre-order day, not since the release day and certainly not since you have the statement today.

I have no idea what is really going on with the White iPhone 4 manufacturing problem. I am not a telepath. My telepath on staff is currently on a vacation and demanding not to be disturbed. This I know for sure, I am one of the people who are holding off buying an iPhone 4 because I want the White one. It seems that I’ll be using more of my Nexus One, thanks t the Wi-Fi Hotspot feature in Android 2.2 Froyo. (Moment of silence to Google Nexus One Web Store)

Now, it’s time to write a silly email to Steve Jobs.
