How can Apple/AT&T not release a statement about the white phone?

I don't understand how Apple or AT&T has not yet released a statement clarifying all the confusion about the white iphone 4 release? What's the hold up, several of us are disappointed, why can't they inform us?

Sources are saying a number of different responses. I've heard:

1) a smaller number of white phones will be available on the day of the launch

2) production issue, they won't be ready until "late summer"

3) won't be ready on day of launch but shortly after

What's the deal?

that white phones are inferior. Not near as cool, and they look smaller.

"Everyone" is all I had to read from your post.

Keep doing/buying what "Everyone" else does... Follow the leader son.

I know sarcasm is hard to read on the internet, but did I really need to put a sarcasm tag up?

Are you *REALLY* that dense?

Follow the leader? What does a bad joke have to do with following the leader?

I plan on getting rid of the iPhone I have (Was best phone out when I got it... good, bad or indifferent - check my posts for my Apple hate). Haven't decided Android, Palm or WM7 (depends on whats out this Christmas when I'm due an upgrade).

But you keep fighting the man. Your so different and unique 🙄

Idiot.

LOL, did I hit a nerve? Nice spaz out.

You're just digging yourself deeper. If you are planning on getting rid of the iphone, or have "Apple hate" ... why are you spending your time on an apple/iphone message board? Stop obsessing. Go to your Android, Palm or WM7 message board - they are all great phones. Spend your time learning about those other phones, instead of responding to our serious posts with meaningless answers.

Thanks for playing!

*shrug* and my initial response wasn't sarcastic as well? ;)

Heh, bottom line is I just want to discuss relevant iphone 4 topics. This thread has grown into a mockery.

Hopefully someone will have a useful answer to my original post.

Thanks for reffing though! I'll take the loss as long as this response thread can end, hah!

is saying this is an iPhone board.

This is Phonescoop. All phones. All operating systems. All carriers.

Which means that iPhone stories will get iPhone haters... and Android stories will get iPhone lovers...

Look at the Verizon forum - it was 90% "ZOMG IPHONE!!!" for months.

I'm not here because of my love/hate of the iPhone - I'm here because of my love for technology. (And this site was hugely useful at my previous job)

Just the usual games.

There's a big wave of customers.

Let it die down some

Then release a different color

let it die down some

Lower the price

let it die down some

Make some kind of minor tweak to it


etc....

Good point, the usual apple tactics.

I would have just assumed even if they weren't ready - they would be on top of an official or estimated release date, instead of leaving everyone to question... especially since it's making headlines.

Really it's not just an apple thing. I'm sure all the companies would play those games if there was enough demand.

Exactly, just Apple tends to pull it off better, I do see 2 for 1 Droid and Blackberrys at VZW, good for those who got them. I have no idea why the white ip4 has been put on hold, non issue to me, because I wanted the black nevertheless.
