What color next-gen iPhone will you choose?

[Jeremy]

What color iPhone are you going for? Black or white? I prefer the white version so I'm going white once more.

Black. Simple. Understated.

I'll take whichever they hand me.

My 3G was black, 3GS is white. Most likely my next will be white again, unless it looks hideous with a white faceplate. I'm on the fence about the white front based on the few leaked pics, I need to see more before I make my final decision.

White. It's so damn beautiful. Though I don't like how the front camera and the ambient light sensors stick out, makes it look like a bit like a Nokia N97. It's still gorgeous though, white and aluminum.. Reminds me of the G5 iMac. (MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm...)

one of each

my 2G and 3G|s| are blk... i will shoot for wht this time

I've always had white, but for some reason the white as a faceplate looks so odd to me. So I'm still undecided. I'll likely get the white though. Once I see it in person, I'll probably like it more.

White on the face plate will make the contents harder to view in daylight because of the contrast on the bezel, which is presumably why Apple has traditionally used a black bezel on the white model. Maybe Apple has developed a new screen though that is siginificantly brighter / has a higher contrast ratio?

It also makes the sensors more visible, which takes away from some of the polish of the iPhone aesthetic. I still like the white appearance a lot though, and dirt/grease shows up too quickly on black.

I'm going Black to keep it cleaner. I would think the white will show all sorts of wear and tear and dirt marks much more than the black.

I've owned both white and black iPhones, the white iPhone didn't show any dirt, while the black showed dirt within hours of handling it. Not to mention the grease which is painfully obvious on the black iPhone yet doesn't show at all on the white.

 

[BuddhistGirafe]

I would vote but I am so on the fence. I think white only because Apple screams white, and not necessarily black. ERMM! I will have to see at WWDC to make my final decision. Who knows.

Black is professional and looks awesome! Red would be sweet too.

Black...because, frankly, I am heterosexual

Congratulations, you are both close-minded and offensive.

Jezz..lighten up or should that be grow up..it was meant as a joke. We can joke about sexuality in the 21st centuary you know

@rekamds
Maybe you don't know what's happening in the world right now. I just don't think it's appropriate.

Anyway no more of this.

haha good point there!

that is true. the smudges on the back of my 3G do bother me as I am slightly OCD. maybe I will check out the white.

Indeed, last year I settled for the black 16GB 3GS because they had no white left at all.

This year I am totally sleeping outside and I am going to be first.
