Apple announces that making (white) iPhone 4 is hard.

Apple has just announced that white iPhone 4 would not be available until the second half of July, 2010 citing manufacturing issues. OK, I’ll be understanding about that. But then Apple said the following in their statement:

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

Seriously Apple? There’s only one color available for pre-order and that is black. You cannot say that it is “more popular” because no one has the option to buy the other color up to this point.

Anyway, you either can wait for the white iPhone 4 or get the black model.

iPhone 4 Reservation Confirmation.

If you’re early enough beating the AT&T meltdown, you might already have a confirmation for the iPhone 4 pre-order. I really want the White iPhone 4, but for now I reserved one at the Apple Store. After numerous tries, I succesfully reserved a 32GB Black iPhone 4. For some reasons, whenever I tried reserving the 16GB version, it kept failing.

UPDATE:
Apple has just disabled iPhone 4 Reservation through Apple Store App, citing high demand.

You might have easier time reserving iPhone 4 using Apple Store App for the iPhone.
