Apple has said before that manufacturing the white iPhone 4 is challenging. In July, 2010 Apple released the following statement when it delayed the white iPhone 4.
White models of Apple's new iPhone 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.
