So, what are you waiting 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.
Today Google announced they have received the last shipment of Nexus One phones. Google will close the Nexus One Web Store once they sold the last of the phone.
I’d better get the accesories from the store before it closes.
Apple posts video to the July 16 iPhone 4 Press Conference.
Free bumpers to everyone who bought iPhone 4 until September 30th, and it is effective retro-actively. Customers who purchased iPhone 4 bumpers are entitled for full rebate.
White iPhone 4 will ship in the end of July in limited quantity.
