Apple has said today that they are delaying the release of the white iPhone 4 for the third time, this time pushing it all the way back until the Spring of 2011.
When they launched the iPhone 4 in June, Apple said it would have to delay the white model of the phone until July.
In July, the company delayed the smartphone until the end of the year.

lol its more challenging to fix all the broken stuff on the black one before releasing a new one. I highly doubt a different color of paint is "challenging" apple customers will buy into that though. I have never talked to more stupid people in my life then when I worked there
The reason it is so challenging to change the color is the dumb*** glass that the phone is made out of. If they would just put in a good set of double antennas (internal antennas), and go to a nice high quality plastic, all their biggest problems would disappear. They would still sell because they are called iPhones...and iPhones always sell. I don't think massive problems are a prerequisite to iPhone sales...but if they are, then there are still plenty of other issues.
It almost makes you think apple wants all these physical problems because it distracts from the CEO-related issues. People are more concerned with making phone calls than with watching flash videos...if they can't make phone calls, all their complaints are about that.

I don't think so...The demand is already there since June...
As KillerBug said, they would have less trouble if they just get rid of the stupid "unbreakable" glass...But if they do, then the white iPhone 4 would technically be an iPhone 4.5 or something because it won't be the same as the original.
