Apple: White iPhone 4 Will Be Available Only In The Second Half Of July

White iPhone 4 launch deferred

Are you waiting for the white iPhone 4 model? As we had reported it looks like you’ll have to wait until second half of July to get one.

Apple has just announced that the new white iPhone 4 will be available only in the second half of July as they’re more challenging to manufacture than expected.

When Apple started taking iPhone 4 pre-orders last week, the new white iPhone 4 model, which comes with a white front panel for the first time was not available for pre-order. 

At that time bob, one of our readers had informed us that he had pre-ordered a white iPhone model at Best Buy but got a call from them informing him that the white iPhone won't be available until July 24th.

Apple has just confirmed the news in today’s statement:

White models of Apple's new iPhone® 4 have proven more challenging to manufacture than expected, and as a result they will not be available until the second half of July. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.

Are you planning to wait that long to buy one? Or you're going to just buy the black iPhone 4?

    Just read my first iphonehacks article on iPhone 4! I wanted a white one. Don't know if I could have waited!! It's fast, the resolution is awesome, the front facing camera is nice, loving the spell check and I can't wait for a jb :)

    I'll wait for the white one aswell while I want one like crazy I love the look of the white. It's just more Apple-like

    I'm waiting for the white one. There is nothing really too "wow" about the new iPhone (since I already have all the features with a JB one) so I'll just wait for a least a nice eye catching white phone. Plus I have only ever gotten the white version anyway.

    July 24th ; )
    Sounds like the Canadian launch for me, might as well choose white!

  6. RLBalt says:

    Good, I hope everyone waits for the white one, and hopefully when I get in line at 5 am tomorrow by the apple store here, there will be no one else there because they all either home-pre-ordered or want a white one.

  7. Ybt says:

    Yeah I'm going to wait for the white one. I wasn't to excited to get one any more when I heard all they had was black. I'd rather wait. The white one looks so much better. Black is to normal everyone gets the black one.

  8. yup i cant wait, but i can, the white one looks way better, and besides i have a black 3g JAILBROKE ON 4.0, its time for CHANGE>>>>:):)

  9. Jack says:

  11. Negrodamus says:

  13. jays-on says:

    exactly why I don't want it

  14. wolverinemarky says:

    i have been waiting for the white one since i first saw the pics thats the one i want or think i want. I want to see it in person first and then i will decide whether i like the white or black better for right now im going for the white one and bumper to avoid scratches

  15. golakers says:

    is this 100% confirmed? I read reports that walmart will have the white iphone and they say they do on their website?

    and now AT&T is sold out and Best Buy might not be selling it on release day either??

    there are people camped out at the grove apple store already, I get the feeling I won't even get one now for a month :(

  16. original says:

    And yet you're buying an APPLE iPhone? Who can argue with that logic.

  17. Jcm800 says:

    Hi, can you tell me – in your o2 store, do they have demo ip4's on display?
    If so, have you tried any? I have in my local o2 store, and i'm a bit alarmed by some features on their demo phones..

    For instance, the signal bars are maxed out ALL the time – they just dont fluctuate, even when you turn 3G on and off!

    No way can i induce the antenna problems either.

    And then i noticed you cant enter carrier settings in the network/cellular data tab!

    Just wondered if you noticed any of this yourself? I'm thinking the o2 demo models have the signal bars 'painted' on lmao.

  18. Jcm800 says:

    Update – i;ve been back since i composed this, and two of their phones now a blue hazy type smudge effect on their screens, not good.

  19. Atljanelle89 says:

    I fell in love with my white 3GS so I will be waiting for the white ip4 to come out………. Impatiently, to boot
