Following the rumor of a possible launch delay to July 5th, a few minutes ago we got a tip from a Twitter user who claims the white model of iPhone 4 may have been delayed until September.
If you were a part of the pre-order fiasco on Tuesday, you will be fully aware that the White model of iPhone 4 which was touted at WWDC10 was not available for pre-order.
The reasons behind this move by Apple are so far unknown however industry experts claim the device could have encountered a manufacturing fault.
Today, @MattAubrey is reporting that his friend in his local @VodafoneUK store claims the White iPhone 4 has been delayed (at least in the UK), until sometime this September.
“@razorianfly Hi. Just spoke to a friend in local Vodafone shop. Hoping to start pre-orders Saturday. White #iPhone pulled till Sept.”
Alongside the news of the possible delay, Matt was also keen to let us know that Vodafone stated they expect pre-order for iPhone 4 to start sometime tomorrow, Saturday June 19th.
[Update] – @MattAubrey just sent us an update on this whole “delayed” thing stating the his friend claims the stock shortages on the White model of iPhone 4 are in fact due to a lack of screens available to make the product. He also stresses Vodafone are HOPING to start pre-orders tomorrow.
