Apple has also delayed the white version of the iPhone 4, but the antenna problem and the delay aren’t derailing the international rollout. Steve Jobs said a week ago that Apple sold 3 million units in its first 22 days, making it the fastest-selling iPhone ever.
Staring on July 30, users will be able to buy the iPhone 4 in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The iPhone 4 will be available for purchase through Apple’s retail and online stores and Apple’s resellers. The phone is already available in France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and the U.S. for $199 for the 16-gigabyte version and $299 for the 32-gigabyte version. Apple promises it will roll the phone out to many more countries later this year.
