White iPhone Delayed Due to Light Leakage?

The white iPhone 4 may have been delayed due to light leaking out around the edges of the glass, according to TheStreet.

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.

Earlier reports pegged the problem to Lens Technology saying that the company was still working out the perfect combination of paint thickness and opacity -- the former to ensure the next sub-contractor has enough clearance for the digitizer overlay, and the latter for the absolute whiteness that Jony Ive and co. strive for.


Apple has delayed the white iPhone until "later this year".
