Why the White iPhone 4 is Delayed! Really!!!

So You're Waiting for the White iPhone 4, What to do with Your Old One?

While many people are selling their old iPhone 3Gs and 3GS' right now to help pay for their upgrades, people waiting for the white are faced with a problem.  On the one hand, you want to get the most value out of the sale of your old iPhone.  On the other hand, you want to use your iPhone while you wait.  So I've taken some time to examine the best options.


What Kind of Manufacturing Difficulties? Let's figure it out!

So we now know that the delay of our favorite white enigma is due to difficulties in manufacturing.  Since we know the only difference between the two models is the color, what could be harder about it?

I want to do a full story on it, but I want your feedback first!

No News From Apple on White iPhone 4, Launch Day Closing In

Well, as you've probably seen in previous posts, I expected that Apple would make some sort of precautionary announcment regarding availability of the white iPhone 4, soon enough to stop people from getting in line for it.  So far, they've proven me wrong.

The Coolest Place for Your New iPhone Case

So you're either getting the new iPhone in black today or tomorrow, or waiting and planning for the white one.  Problem:  How do you keep it safe once you have it?  Solution:  A case.  BUT, you don't just want any old plastic piece of ugly from Best Buy blocking all that beautiful engineering from the world's envious eyes.

Where do you turn?

The First Reviews for iPhone 4

It would seem that the first reviews are in for the iPhone 4, as Apple has handed the phone to a select number of tech journalists around this time last week.  As we all knew and expected, the reviews are glowing.  However, there is no mention of the white iPhone 4 in any of the reviews I've read so far.  Go figure.  Anyway, if you're interested in checking out the reviews, I've compiled some of the better ones into a convenient list:


A Deep Dark Void of White iPhone 4 News

Today is a dark day for white iPhone 4 enthusiasts, quite literally.  There is no news at all from any source.  The same played-out rumors, speculation, and repackaged news that we all already knew on launch day is all we have on the web to sustain us.  However, this void is, in and of itself, news.

Not Until August?

Social Media SEO reports that the white iPhone 4 might not be available until August. However, their source is a commenter who allegedly heard it from a Best Buy employee. Not particularly credible, but who knows?
