In the past week I had a bunch of different models together - 6 through X and XS series. All out of cases. That reconfirmed why I chose white and the natural stainless this time. With the white metal finish scratches and scuffs are like a fine stainless steel watch or tool. Look at the front and you have a dark phone. Look at the back and you have a different shade of white than we’ve had for years.
Of course the right decision is get what you like but I thought some might appreciate that situation where it was so obvious to see the natural stainless and silver annodized age better.
