Since the introduction of the iPhone 4 back in June, there has been an incredible demand for the White iPhone. This buzz about the ever elusive White iPhone 4 has had the rumor mills turning since it was rumored that manufacturing issues were the cause for the delayed release. The release delay has been attributed to everything from proximity issues, light leaks, problems bonding the color to the glass as well as the inability to match the home button to the faceplate. These problems along with manufacturing mishaps have led to the White iPhone 4 never being released to date. The White iPhone has reached mythical proportions, like that of a unicorn or bigfoot. All of these factors only add to the mystique of the White iPhone.

Apple has continued to tease a release date and is hinting at a Spring 2011 release for the White iPhone 4. However, in an exclusive report from the Boy Genius Report, it is rumored that Apple could be canceling the release completely and has no plans to release the white iPhone.

Interestingly enough, the Apple Store app for the iPhone has included the 16GB and 32GB White iPhone 4 along side the black model. Some stores even show the White model and allow you to select the item before you are greeted with a pop-up that Apple is not taking reservation for that product.

So if you dream of one day owning the White iPhone 4 you may have to wait until the vague Spring 2011 release. My guess is that the Spring 2011 release is more likely than scrapping the white model completely. Apple would be losing out on a large number of sales by not releasing a the White iPhone 4. Good things come to those who wait.
