On Friday, the two top-most websites in technology related blogging, received information which was tracked back to separate ones claiming that the white version of iPhone 4 will be launched to be sold in Europe starting next week.
First website, Engadget had received not only rumors but also apparently has actual images of this white iPhone 4, which looks like being kept safe in a retail packaging for a Vodaphone UK customer. The source holds up the general perception that the device will be almost completely the same, even appearance wise except the color, with the black iPhone 4. But sadly it also notifies that Vodaphone has sent a memo beforehand, for holding down all the units of the device "until next week."
Secondly 9 to 5 Mac has also gathered some worth information of white iPhone regardless of the source. According to these sources, white iPhone 4 will be put up for sale in Netherlands on Wednesday. This "tipster,” who provided with such information is from the phone retailer company, BelCompany. This memo was handed over to the website, and the sources till that BelCompany will be keeping a stock with only white 16 GB models, along with an additional bonus of only one 32 GB Model iPhone 4. This memo also warns the user that the "supplies will be scarce" as these new shipments seem completely ready for a four to five weeks, after launch too.
This is not exactly the first time Apple has been facing the situation of higher than imaginable demand and very less supply of the Apple product, especially around its launch. It is also surprising that the white model of this version had been delayed so long in the iPhone 4's lifecycle, which is now ten-years-old.
Apple is known, for every year enliven its newer phones versions at the WWDC, which takes place in June. Though More likely, this ten-months delay in the white version of the device took so long due to a problem at the manufacturers end. This was also admitted by the Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak himself, who confessed directly to Engadget back in January apologizing for the delay as he also mentioned that this is due the manufacturing problems of the white iPhone. However, these issues are definitely resolved by now.
