Apple has issued another statement regarding the white iPhone 4, and the news is not good.

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.

The manufacturing issues that Apple is facing seem to be much worse than previously thought, and the white iPhone 4 is being delayed until “later this year”.

Those who have been waiting it out: Will you continue to wait, or settle for a black one?
