That&#8217;s right\u2014no longer will they be available in the second half of July, which was already pushed back from late June when the iPhone 4 originally launched. Apple has pushed the date back again by apparently several months, and is no longer committing to a date.<\/p>\n<p>Apple&#8217;s latest statement follows <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/apple\/news\/2010\/06\/apple-delays-white-iphone-4-due-to-manufacturing-challenge.ars\">one made one month ago<\/a> just before the iPhone 4 hit the streets. At that time, Apple said that the white version had &#8220;proven more challenging to manufacture than expected,&#8221; and were therefore being delayed for at least half a month. <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/apple\/news\/2010\/07\/liveblog-iphone-4-press-conference.ars\">Steve Jobs even said<\/a> during last week&#8217;s iPhone 4 press conference, where he discussed the iPhone&#8217;s antenna issues, that the white iPhone was still on track to ship at the end of July, so either he was stretching the truth or the latest statement was a last-minute decision.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a fellow white iPhone lover I knew this would upset a few people but it seems to be a theme with the white versions of Apple&#8217;s popular phone. Still you might be in luck as hopefully they&#8217;ll push for an antenna fix at the same time hoping to avoid the death grip problem that&#8217;s plagued many of its handsets.<\/p>\n<p>Makes me a little happier that I bought the 3GS&#8230;. a <em>little.<\/em> \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because a good bunch of people are coming to this blog looking for a white iPhone 4 (thanks in part to me hosting a picture&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4],"tags":[146,484,1120,1253],"class_list":["post-1621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tech","tag-apple","tag-iphone","tag-iphone-4","tag-white-iphone"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/ppBqt-q9","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/therefinedgeek.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/therefinedgeek.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/therefinedgeek.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therefinedgeek.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therefinedgeek.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/therefinedgeek.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1621\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/therefinedgeek.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therefinedgeek.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/therefinedgeek.com.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
