Apple’s original colour, white, will not be available for the new iPhone 4 on the launch day. In a strange move Apple seem to be supplying only the black version of the new iPhone 4 according to the iPhone 4 pre-order section of the company’s website. The white version has not been dropped, just not available for pre-order.

This will disappoint a large number of Apple faithful who have always purchased the White MacBook, White iPod and White iPhones. It is a difficult choice for them having to select between getting the new iPhone in black on launch day or waiting an indefinite period of time to get the beloved white phone.

Of course things may well change between now and the 24th and the white iPhone 4 may make an appearance in the store on the day. If not it doesn’t matter my black iPhone will be waiting for me.
