Iphone 4 White Delay

There were many shipping and manufacturing issues that caused the delay of the expected June 4, 2010 release date. Apple claims that these issues caught them off guard. A main issue was the absence of flash photography in the new white version. The reason for this was that the proximity sensor was unaffected because the front side of previous models was black. A representative from Apple was quoted saying, "It's not as simple as making something white. There's a lot more that goes into both the material science of it -- how it holds up over time...but also in how it all works with the sensors." As a result, Apple released the new white version of the Iphone 4 10 months later than expected.
