Those holding out hope of getting a white iPhone this month, prepare for disappointment. Apple says that the white model won’t be available to users until the second half of July. It turns out the devices have “proven more challenging to manufacture than expected,” and therefore they are being delayed for at least half a month.

“CUPERTINO, Calif., June 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — White models of Apple’s new iPhone® 4 have proven more challenging to manufacture than expected, and as a result they will not be available until the second half of July. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.”
