White iPhone 4 Delayed Again To “Later This Year”
I’m sorry folks, bad news for those of you who were waiting for the white iPhone 4. It has been delayed again, Apple has just released a statement about it.
“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.

Darth Vader Calls Apple [Video]
It’s clear that Apple wants the whole Antennagate thing to stop, but people can’t help but releasing spoof videos - and they’re actually pretty funny. Here’s a new one: Darth Vader calls Apple, asking about his iPhone 4.
As TechCrunch reports, the choice lines:
“Are you seriously defending the new phone by saying that it almost performs as well as the old phone? Is that what the plan is?”
“So everybody gets hit with 4 times the radiation just because these idiots can’t work together?”
“Ha ha, and get what, the EVO? I mean those poor saps are having light leaks and their screens peeling off after a couple of days.”
“And don’t even get me started on the Droid X. Uh, let’s see, you take the original phone, remove the physical keyboard, make it as big as a toaster, and still don’t add a front-facing camera? Yeah, that’s progress.”
“Look, just level with me: it’s AT&T isn’t it? If it is just cough or something.”
