Apple's White iPhone 4 Delayed, In Latest Headache

Customers will not be able to get their hands on Apple Inc's white iPhone 4 until later this year, the company said on Friday, conceding that making the model has proven surprisingly difficult. Apple, in a brief statement, said that its black iPhone 4 had not been affected. As for the white iPhone, the company said it has "continued to be more challenging to manufacture that we originally expected."

The newest iPhone, while selling quickly, has created a series of headaches for Apple, the biggest being the suggestion that its design was flawed because of a problem with the antenna.
