Rumours last week suggested the Pebble Blue Samsung Galaxy S III was facing production delays due to some manufacturing issues. The UK retailer Clove today provided an update to its customers confirming that both the Marble White and Pebble Blue versions would be late. Delays appear slight at this time with the white version to ship June 1st rather than May 30th and the blue slipping to June 5th but warns that “this is still to be confirmed.”
Similarly, Vodafone UK is reporting delays on the 32GB white model as well as both the 16GB and 32GB blue models. The 16GB white model is unaffected and will be available on May 30th on schedule.
It’s unclear if the white model is facing the same production issues or different ones.
No official launch dates have been announced for North America although rumours suggest that June 20th will see it launch with a number of Canadian carriers (and some U.S. one as well). It’s unclear if the North American launch dates will be affected by these delays.
