Apple: White iPhone 4 delayed until 'later this year'

Seems like people pining for the white variant of the iPhone 4 will need to wait a little longer. Following up a statement that the white iPhone 4 was challenging to manufacture, Apple today released the following statement.

CUPERTINO, Calif., July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — 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.
