White iPhone 4: Release Date Delay – Glass Panel Shortage?

On Friday, we informed you that the White iPhone 4 will now be available at the end of this month, but now we have an interesting article for you to check out – which pinpoints a possible reason for delays of the device.

The article comes from Engadget, who believe that production delays for the elusive white iPhone 4 model have been delayed due to issues involving Apple’s glass panel supplier in China.

According to their report, Lens Technology is a manufacturing company over in China and the same company that supplies Apple with their iPhone 4 panels.

Apparently, Lens’ current production load is only fulfilling half of Apple’s demand, meaning that the company are having serious issues keeping up with the constant shipping of white units that Apple require to keep stock levels healthy.
