The release date of the white Apple iPhone has been delayed again until Spring 2011. Apple spokesperson, Trudy Muller, stated "We're sorry to disappoint customers waiting for the white iPhone again" . Unfortunately, this is the third time that Apple has pushed back the release date of the white phone. It was originally to be released with the black iPhone 4 in June 2010. Apple first extended the release date to July, then to the end of the year and finally on Tuesday, Apple announced the news that it would not be available until 2011.
Apple has admitted that the white smart phone has been more difficult to produce but has not commented on the specifics. Bloggers are speculating that there are problems with reaching an identical color match between the frame and the home key. Another rumor is that the white iPhone's back light screen transmits light throughout the painted white areas which are more translucent than some parts of the body.
The most disappointing piece of the story is that after Apple announced the new release date of Spring 2011, the white iPhone disappeared from the site's order screen. This has prompted rumors that Apple may not release the white iPhone 4 at all. Because Apple releases a new iPhone every June, there is speculation that Apple will hold off on the release of white iPhone 4 all together and release a white iPhone 5 next spring.
