Many of you were disappointed when Apple delayed the white iPhone 4 until later this year, and we had a theory that the reason it was delayed is because Apple couldn’t make enough of the glass casings fast enough.
Well now there’s a new theory as to why it’s delayed.
Scott Moritz of TheStreet reports that the white iPhone 4 is delayed due to backlight leaking out from the casing.
Apparently, the back light from the iPhone display screen is leaking out around the edges of the glass and seeping through the back of the white phone, according to a person familiar with the manufacturing process.
Because White is naturally a lighter and lower opacity that black, this is the reason for the issue. The glass construction makes it even harder to simply fill in the gaps where the light is leaking, compared to regular metal and plastic cases.
Now this could be a load of rubbish, or it could be true, maybe this is the reason the white iPhone 4 is delayed? Or maybe it’s because of the manufacturing issues? Or it could be both
What do you think?
