White iPhone 4 not available until ‘later this year’

Apple has confirmed that it has manufacturing issues with the white iPhone and therefore will delay it shipment, again. This has been confirmed by the company with a short note sent earlier today:

“White models of Apple’s new iPhone 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.” (Apple)
