They really should have just done black phones and used all the
resources they have spent trying to get white ramped up getting supply
up to demand - just sell white cases....

light leak is another nightmare via 9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence by

Delays delivering those white iPhone 4 models may be related to light
leakage problems, according to Scott Moritz at The Street.

"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," he writes.

Apple last week said the white models were proving to be, "more
challenging to manufacture than we originally expected."

The Street continues to tell us that Apple's iPhone 4 is made like
a "glass sandwich". The company uses Corning's Gorilla glass on the
front and back of the iPhone and there's that metal antenna (shhh)
running around the outside.

But the light leakage problem is a biggie. "As the source described it,
if it were a metal or plastic material, a simple coating would fill in
the gaps and block the internal light. Glass is an entirely different
issue."

I've a feeling about this....
