Apple Inc. delayed the release of the white iPhone 4 for the second time, saying the model is still harder to manufacture than expected.

The white model will be available later this year, the Cupertino, California-based company said today in a statement. The black models are not affected, it said. Apple announced separately how owners of the iPhone 4 can get a free case to address reception issues.
