What sucks is they still know that those set on white are all going to wait for the privilege of dropping 200 to 300 bucks. apple owns us v__v

Well my local AT&T store manager said they are not getting any white iPhone 4 in until the first of the year. I said “January 1st, whatever dude.” he just sat in nodded his head yes. After Steve jobs said at the Ooops conference, that white iPhone would ship in another month. I went back and chatted with him after the Jobs announcement. He still said first of the year. Thinking he was just trying to get an upgrade out of me, now, instead of later. I laughed it off and left. Now this bu//$hit?!! Wow, and that’s all I can say.

I’m going to wait until the white one comes out, I would have to wait anyway since its not even out in canada until the 30th, I may as well get the one I want. As for the people complaining about it, get a different colour then, If you really want it you will wait, if not get the black one. Obviously they want to use the best materials for it and not make a cheap version. I don’t think there will be a major change to the phone other than the colour, They are offering cases that should be enough to fix an issue that existed anyway, at least they are owning up to it.

I actually went ahead and bought 3 black iPhone 4's last weekend under the assumption that the white one would be available at the end of the month, and that my Fiance' and her mother (who is also in our family plan) could come in within the 30-day exchange window and switch out their black ones for the white version. I got off the phone today with AT&T and a note was added to our account so that we can still exchange our phones for the white one when it is released at no penalty.

Ask your local AT&T store, and see if you can work out a deal, so you don't have to wait for your i4, but can still get the white one for no additional fees.

Just what is covered under the year warranty. If the free bumper is a fix, does that mean it is a warranty fix? If the white phone has a cover or coating over the antenna, will they do the same for the black phone? I know it’s a new process reference the white plastic/glass, but white plastic, and white heatproof glass has been around for years, and years with improvements added along the way.

Son of a gun! I waited and waited, with great anticipation. Now this!!!! They’re simply incompetent, or we were duped. Either way, Apple’s cool points just tanked, along with my loyalty to their product.

haha by the time they release the white iphone 4 it will practically be time for a new iphone.

By: Dawn

I’m holding out. I really did not want to upgrade this year anyway, after only a year with my 3GS. If the white is not out until the beginning of next year it will be easier to justify a new phone, or even to keep waiting for what is new next June.

By: Glenn

Glenn — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:01:17 +0000

Agree with others. It will be after Sept, or whenever the free bumper cases are cut off. The antenna will be closed up into the case, or covered up. If they do fix the white one, will they fix the others? I do not call a free bumper a true permanent fix.

By: Elfminion

Elfminion — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 17:45:48 +0000

i like how everyone is complaining. OMG ITS BEEN THREE WEEKS SINCE THE LAUNCH AND I DONT HAVE A WHITE ONE!!

ok, lets be honest here.

there are one of two ways this situation could have worked out.

A- They released it, and it wasnt up to par. what do you think you people would be doing right now? Complaining about how its not up to standard and you want to send it back or get a refund.

B- the way it is right now. Apple is taking their time and doing it right so they dont have another screw up. Yes, it is taking longer than expected but oh well, thats life.

i guess what im saying is quit complaining. Yes it is taking longer than expected, but if you want it bad enough you will wait. If you dont want to wait, get a black one, its not the end of the world. or C, switch devices to something you wont complain about.

thanks for reading.

This blows me away! I have been waiting for the FULL white version since day one. I can’t even begin to speculate why these things are happening to, what is at the moment, the ONLY reason why Apple made so much money this year. MAJOR EPIC FAIL for fans!

I’m still considering the white one. I can’t upgrade my second line until January so I’m good on waiting for white for now. I’m also thinking of just paying the $500.00 to get it without extending my contract on that second line. Haven’t decided just yet.

They are going to t-mobile that is why they aren’t avaiable. When apple announces tmobile as next carrier they will be selling white to separate from AT&T I bet

By: Josh

Josh — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:55:31 +0000

The delay is most likely paint actually. I have no proof of this but the most common element in white electronic devices is titanium oxide and apparently there is a problem acquiring that as of late…or so I have been told.

Either way, I have the iPhone4 in black and love it and to those of you waiting for the white one, why not buy a black one and put a white bumper on it? Then you have the best of both worlds

@ Viper: Some people care. It’s just a preference. If the situation were reversed and the Black iPhone 4 was held back for this long, I would be flipping out too. I mean I like the Black one much more than the white one. I dunno why, it just looks right to me.

Every month I wait to get an iPhone 4 just saves me another $30 in early termination fees to Sprint. However if I wait to get a white one, then I won’t be eligible to get an iPhone 6 when that comes out in 2 years… then I’ll have to wait again! Guess I’m off on an adventure to get my black iPhone 4!

“paulrkiii says: July 23, 2010 at 9:01 am It’s so they can fix the antenna issue”

–I completely agree! Why release the SAME model with the SAME exact problem, just in a different color? Paint doesn’t cause delays like this. They’re working on a hardware tweak so as to avoid the SAME public backlash. C’mon guys…

@Leo From Miami

I have a 3G, if you can wait that long w/that phone. Good Luck. I'm getting the BlackOne now. This is ridiculous, and I can't wait that long. Not w/this horrible 3G. So slow, always crashing, and half my physical buttons on the phone are dying. Black it is, I guess.

By: lions2010

lions2010 — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 13:17:35 +0000

Its something to do with the paint apparently. I’m totally blind so I don’t guess it would matter to me anyway, but it is good to see them stepping up and admitting that there are issues before the product is released.
