iPad Mini: Black or White???

**Branz1** · 10-23-2012, 11:28 PM

I saw the keynote videos and the white ipad mini really did stand out. I liked how the color really presented the iPad mini. But I do a lot of reading, books, magazines, video watching, surfing the web... I think that the white may be a distraction to the "non retina" display. I think the black may bring out a similar screen experience to a retina display. Idk yet. Which color will you be getting and why?

I'm going to go with black, I just like how the black looks over the white (in both iPad and iPad Mini)

I will choose the white, although Black is cool

I would have to see either one in person to make a final decision. But even still if I were to get one I'd get one for my kids.

I so It with both Back and White

White. Definitely. I had always had black devices until the iPhone 5, and I absolutely love it in white. So I'll continue with the white Mini. And a red (Product) Smart Cover.

I'll be getting the white mini to match my white iPhone 4S.

**CandyBean** · 10-24-2012, 04:57 PM

This thread needs a poll! That said, I love my White/Silver iPhone 5 and will get the same with the iPad mini.

**andrewsmith** · 10-24-2012, 10:35 PM

All black everything. Even my MBP has a black Incase see thru case.

**iphonefizzle** · 10-25-2012, 11:11 PM

i am going bligggity black baby yeah match that iphone i love the diamond cut shiny black question is the back of this thing like the back of our iphone 5's i didn't watch the keynote

**LCW** · 10-27-2012, 02:14 PM

I got a black one... partly because the white's were sold out for 11/2 delivery

But also, I've played with some white iphones and ipads in the past, and when watching movies on them, or even just using them in dimmer light rooms, I found the white border to be super distracting... the black just blends in...

Yes indeed. Black = scratch city. Be sure to get a case...

I ordered the black one, I was a little disappointed because I wanted the white mini but I soon got over it after I realized both wifi versions could have been sold out then I would have nothing!

I agree completely 👍😄👍

**deadp1xel** · 10-28-2012, 09:32 PM

Black.

**wolfedude88** · 10-29-2012, 12:25 AM

I truly wanted a black ipad mini, I think the black screen looks better, but I prefer the back on the white one, I love the aluminum look. It will match my macbook pro, so I went with white.

**sianaNZ** · 10-29-2012, 02:25 AM

I read an article that answers this very question. It depends on what you're going to use it for. If you'll mainly use it for reading, emailing etc then best to get a white one because it blends in with the white of the paper background.
If you're going to use it more for media, movies etc then a black one would be more suitable because it blends in more with the black frame of the pictures....

I had already decided I was getting a white one anyway before I had read this article.

Black for sure
But I hope iPad will be not too hot

**bluelightalarm** · 10-30-2012, 01:41 PM

I went for black as I'm going to be using it for watching videos etc. and was afraid the white would be distracting. Also I thing the red cover I've ordered will go very nicely with black

**ryanfitzpatrick** · 10-30-2012, 02:02 PM

I bought one of each cause I couldn't make up my mind on color. I have the black iPhone 5 so I'm pry gonna keep the black one and give the white one to my wife for Christmas!
