Real Reason Why the White iPhone 4 Is Delayed 182
tekgoblin writes "There have been numerous reasons why the White iPhone 4 may be delayed with one reason being the color mismatch between the home button and the body. Well this time there is another reason. A source has told CultofMac that the reason for the delay is a light leakage issue caused by the case being clear. Light from the case leaks into pictures taken by the back and front camera on the white iPhone 4, causing distorted pictures. This problem is non-existent on the black iPhone 4, because of its already black case, so Apple has been looking for a solution to this problem, thus the delay of the White iPhone 4 till spring of next year."

There is another theory regarding the delay. Somehow Apple heard about how I wasn't interested in a white iPhone unless it also came with blowjobs from the Victoria Secret models. Apple has been unable to get them on board yet.

You are looking at it wrong.

Not likely. In addition to not qualifying for the subsidy on a later purchase ( 2 years), it's common knowledge that once you go black you'll never go back.

Not being interested in a device at all and not being interested in it if it doesn't include oral sex are very different things.

I can't imagine why anyone would want a white one.
White noise (Score:4, Funny)
The press don't get it, do they? The reason is that so many people are already complaining about iPhone 4's signal issue, that the white version is only going to make it worse by introducing white noise.

So that's why Heidi Klum retired.
By the time the White iPhone comes out, the only person left on VS's payroll will be Gilbert Gottfried.

That's right.

If there are enough users of this thing to warrant a delay in purchasing simply because they want one that is white versus black, I would never want to associate myself with someone so superficial that a simple fucking color change is this important to their buying decision.
Yeah! How dare people put off making consumer goods purchases based on their personal preferences! Those self-involved fuckers!

No. He's admitting to a very long established geek bias towards black hardware.
Black hardware is just so ... black ... and smooth ... and shiny. *ahem*
For a long time, we had beige, in a matte finish no less; IBM is well documented to be at fault here. We had so utterly much beige, it was mind-numbing. Beige monitor, beige tower, beige keyboard -- oh, sure, you could mix it up with a mouse of a mousepad, but everything else was beige. Geeks used to have black-hardware envy because nobody had any -- a NeXT station was the sexiest thing on the planet in '92, and SGI made a really funky indigo colour. Apple popularized Tangerine for a while, but it wasn't black.
Now, you almost don't see beige at all. All black. 'Cuz black is cool and shiny, and ... faster. Hell, even Nintendo has learned that everybody wants black hardware ... the Wii is now available in black. I'm sure black costs more ... it used to. It's supposed to.
What he's saying is if the Game Cube had been its proper black in the first place, instead of being in bright, primary Fisher Price colours, they'd have sold more units. Because, once you go black ... ;-)
