For anyone who is just sick of their typical black iPhone 4 already and was hoping to get a snazzy white one, Apple has some bad news for you. Apparently, making the paler version of the smartphone is harder than they’d thought, meaning you won’t get your until later this year.

Without giving too many specifics of the problem with producing the white iPhone 4, Apple said earlier today that it “continued to be more challenging to manufacture that we originally expected.”

The company did also not specify when the white version would make it to market.
