 Flighty WhiteyIf you haven’t heard the news, Apple has delayed the white iPhone yet again; this time to “later this year” which, as we all know is Apple-talk for December 31′st. All joking aside, if the media is looking for a story to play up the “Apple is run by incompetent designtards” there you go. Announcing a product and not being able to ship it for upwards of six months is pathetic. Where’s my press conference mother-fuckers? I’m going to buy a Droid X out of spite. blog comments powered by Disqus |

I feel your pain, brother.
(Why do I feel like such a tard having used that phrase?)
This is way more embarrassing than the stupid NOT-Antennagate.
There's already people trying to float the idea it's been delayed because the phone is being re-designed to fix the antenna: http://www.reghardware.com/2010/07/23/apple_whi...
Oh boy.
There's a word for those people. That word is “moron.”
I am so fucking pissed off about this. In fact, this is the first thing I've been legitimately furious at Apple over since… well, probably OS8. Or maybe the hockey puck.
And you know, I would be fine buying a black one now, then replacing it with a white model later, except we all know that second one would cost me full price.
Hey, I like the hockey puck!
But I agree with you on the white iPhone 4. I just bought the black 32GB iPhone 4 at full price in the UK and I'm willing to sell it and pay for the white iPhone 4 in full again, once it's out, were it not for this bad gut feeling (I feel so very Gibbs-ish right now).
I've had the white iPhone 3G and constantly had problems with the micro fractures in the polycarbonate back panel. After four exchanges by Apple, I've had it with the device and they gave me a black 3GS.
Believing the rumour posted on Engadget a few days ago for a second (http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/18/white-iphone...
Will I have problems with the white one, too? Will the components shine through? Should I get a melon, how often will I have to send it back before I get a faultless one.
Good idea. I hear Droid X screens display ONLY white!
Going off what Mangochutney says, and Gruber's assertion (which I believe) that everyone has a problem making white phones, it sounds like Apple's only problem with the White iPhone 4 was announcing that they'd make one in the first place.

And it's not just “[a]nnouncing a product and not being able to ship it for upwards of six months”; it's announcing the same damn product they just sold 3 million of, except in a different color.
Yup. And you'd think to balance the stupidity they'd be singing Apple's praises for finding a problem and having the integrity to delay shipping the product, because God forbid there's something off about the white and they have to issue a recall.
I was more pissed when Jobs told us they had a super-terrific app development solution for the iPhone that we were all gonna love, and guess what, it was… wait for it… drum roll… web apps!
I think web apps are terrific. They are also not what the developer community meant when they wanted dev tools for the iPhone. That pissed me off because it was insulting.
