Is it just me or does the choice of color break down along gender barriers? I see a lot of guys with the black model.

I kinda like the white model better... but then again, I like the new yellow Nano best. :rolleyes:

I think it has to do with the "Apple" fanatics like the white while others like the black.

I have a white one. Although, to be honest, it's because I was told the white one would arrive before the black one, so I ordered it. I love it, but it's in a case anyway, so... it's not really all that important which color it is. ;)

I also wanted to get white so people know I got the top model.

16GB FTW.

Me neither. Maybe if it was pink or something it would be a little more obvious to me. :o

I got a white, but that's not because I am a girl, it because its my favorite color on a lot of objects. I also drive a white car and have a white macbook. Not coincidence. ;)

I have to agree the yellow nano is absolutely kickass, and if I didn't have an iPhone I might have gotten one. But I'm a guy, and I love my white iPhone. White looks so much better, IMO, and you don't always have to clean it so it looks good like you have to do for the black. Black is nice, though.

But after waiting in line for 5 hours, I would've taken a hot pink one if it was all they had :D

I'm a male with the white one. I picked it for a couple of reasons:

* The black shows too many fingerprints on the back.
* The white = 16gb (don't bother asking me which one I got)
* I like it because most users have black and I like going with the underdog.
* You see the white back, you already know it's an iPhone.
* I actually like the white better.

I bought mine, a white 16GB model, like that. The store didn't have any black 16GB ones in stock, and I was not going to wait any longer. I am now glad I picked white, though. It only took me a few days before I became truly fond of the white body. I even returned the black case I'd bought with the phone and bought a clear case instead. :)

Should have made this a poll:

Black, male
Black, female

I think you'd find a lot of guys with the white one. I have the white one and I love it, have yet to regret not getting the black one.

I have a Black 16GB 3G, as I think it just looks more phone-like, but there's nothing at all feminine about a White one. When every iPod was white, they didn't look feminine at all.

Rybold

I have a black rubber case on my phone that covers the whole back and sides so it really doesn't matter what color phone I actually have. The worldd may never know. :D

On the gender issue, I have seen a complete mix. I know many girlswith black phones and many guys with white. It has nothing to do with gender.

Now if we could get an iPhone without typos, it'd be great.

It's just a color..I care about the functionality, not the way my device looks.

Well, the most obvious reason would be that brides dress in white, while grooms (usually) wear black. In the military world, white is the color of surrender. In Victorian England a purported coward would be presented with a white feather. In English heraldry, white signifies purity, virtue, and innocence. The white ribbon is a symbol for feminists and people denouncing violence against women. The list goes on... virgins... angels...

Of course there are some gender neutral, male and perhaps even borderline macho associations to white as well... the white knight... moon rockets... the White House... royalism... capitalism... Japan's official racing color... etc.

If anyone needs help to perceive the colors as more gender neutral, think of them as chess pieces, or just as Stormtrooper vs. Darth Vader.

I like the 1st generation better (not that I ever owned one).

The aluminium and that black rubber trim at the bottom made it look more sophisticated. The iPhone 3G looks cheaper, less premium.

Had the iPhones been Volkswagens, the gen1 iPhone would be the sportier Golf GTI (http://img.motorpasion.com/galleries/volkswagen-golf-gti-por-hr/Volkswagen_Golf_GTI_HR-05.jpg) and the iPhone 3G would be the standard (http://www.autogodan.ro/images/VW_golf_V.jpg) model.

I'm a male and I got the white because I knew all the iClones would be in black (I'm looking at you instinct and voyager). And seriously, if you think white is a feminine color you need to get your head checked. Especially if you think you are a Mac aficionado.

yeah black is for MALES.

white is for girls and also males who are apple fanatics.
as white is the brand image. more flashy.
white is for, sorry to say, people who want to show off, who want to be SEEN using apple mac products. those who are sucked into corporate branding.

although white is cheaper, so white can also be for those who are sensible.
if i was sensible i woulda got a white macbook. but i know i would never be happy with the colour.

same with ipods.......i had a black one years ago.......now i bought a silver one not too long ago......ive never been happy with silver......silver is for girls.

BLACK IS FOR REAL PEOPLE. MOSTLY MALES.

BLACK IS MMM

The original Apple colour is Wood (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_I), followed by Bisque (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II). White didn't appear until the Apple IIc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II#Apple_IIc).

Now.. if they made some I and II(plus/e/c/GS/) emulator and game apps for the iPhone/iPod Touch, that would be cool! Just not the Apple III, though.. that thing sucked! :p

both white and black are unisex, so there is no significant difference here.
you should have asked if any guy bought a pink iphone instead

Assuming you know the reasons why someone bought a particular color of something is pretty immature.

Why do people keep saying this?! White is not a 'classic apple' color. They started using it like in late 90's or early 2000's.

Don't get your panties in a bunch over this.

People are referring to the white as a classic color due to the fact that Apple differentiated themselves/stood out from the rest of the computer makers when they started using white... eMac, iMac, iPod... during those "years" the whole Apple line had the white theme... IMO the biggest "white" product was the earphones that became signature Apple.

As you can see now... white is slowing being phased out by Apple's current theme of blacks and aluminum (MacBook air, iMac, iPhone 2G, classic iPods, etc etc.)

SOOO white can be seen and easily considered a "classic". To the teen newbie Hilary Duffs/Lindsay Lohan crowd... this is the Apple THEY know.

I didn't have to write this...

What's interesting about this is white, although being phased out, is almost required to continue to be used. The head phones, the cables, mice, keyboards, etc. They all are white plastic. Even the iPhone brought white back. They can't make the head phones out of aluminum, nor the mice so they'll have to stick with white. Which is a little annoying as I was glad to see them phasing out plastic.

i look down upon people with white apple products.
those who buy white fall into these categories:

- buying the product as jewellry
- to be "cool" and stand out as apple user/owner
- low self esteem, need this to make themselves feel good
- know nothing about computers
- have very poor taste in music
- waste time
- chat on facebook and msn

unless you are fairly poor and couldnt afford the black one or the pro, i dont respect youre choice in choosing white.

and if you do choose white, you should be making a massive attempt to hide it in public, and only mainly use it in private, or make efforts to hide the colour with a case or something, outdoors.

white is for girls. plain and simple.
and girls are not computer technology savvy are they? i mean generally speaking, the computer world and market is male domindated right?
girls buy macs for the wrong reasons. some guys too no doubt.

I totally agree! or they just like the color white...

Seriously, how can you make so many judgements about a person?

"- know nothing about computers"
My mom and my best friends dad collectively own four white iMacs and they're both software writers and technical support staff.

"have very poor taste in music"
That's all opinion. I have a white iPhone and I had a white iPod and I pride myself on my music tastes. I go to a concert about every two weeks so I'd say I'm probably exposed to a lot more music than you and thus am more qualified to make an argument as to what music is better.
"white is for girls. plain and simple. "
oh so that makes the misogynist generalization that girls:
- buying the product as jewellry
- to be "cool" and stand out as apple user/owner
- low self esteem, need this to make themselves feel good
- know nothing about computers
- have very poor taste in music

However I'm glad you made such an irrational and ridiculous statement. As the numbers show many men bought white iPhones and they're comfortable in their masculinity to put up with people like you. But what do I know? Judging from my signature I'm just a boy with a girl's brain.

hold up hold up hold up
jsut cause you go to a concert every other week, you know more than me about music or have better tastes and opinons than me?
i had to stop reading your post and write this.
you have no idea. im not gonna get into details but ive written long essays on this.
LIVE MUSIC IS A CON, bands play live music to make money, people go out cause they wanna drink and escape and have fun. gig is just rehearsed songs you ve heard on teh albums. the album versions are better.
i respect no one who goes to see live music. and you think this makes you special? i laugh at this comment in utter disdain and shock horror.
yep a white apple product suits you to a T....you carrry on buying white products.

going to concerts every other week exposes someone to more music than someone who doesnt? oky doky. how can you compare yourself to me? you know nothing about me. and im 99% certain that its the other way around. so chill.

no youre not qualified as to what music is better. lol this is a joke. for you to say that.

maybe the men have feminine sides waiting to burst out every now and then.

this is exactly what i said in the first place.

white apple product owener versus black colour owner.
the divide is clear.
me and you are on the opposite poles.
we cannot see eye to eye.

i will never buy a white apple product.
i dont want to a part of that group.

just like people wanted the white ipod earphones, even tho the sound quality and build are a disgrace to modern earphone standards.

peace man.
peace out.

ive never seen anybody with an iphone in my life.

owning a mac computer, an ipod, and an iphone is JUST WRONG AND OVER THE TOP.

i own a macbook and an ipod, and i can say i bought them both for the right reasons....iphone is new to the phone game, its not tested. its a gimmick at the moment. id rather stick with old school brands like nokia for my phone needs.

Oh now I get it. You live in a little box. Let me guess: you didn't own a Mac until after you got an iPod, right? Let me guess what you do with your Macbook: web browsing, email, light document editing? Maybe sometimes you use iTunes!? Why didn't you just get a $400 dell? It sounds to me that you got a Mac just to be trendy.

back to the original point. White is for anyone, not just girls and pretentious boys; black is for anyone not just jerks and professionals.

PS: anyone who won't buy a computer because of the color of the case obviously knows nothing about computers. Anyone who listens to Metallica knows nothing about music.

OH MY LORD! Are you serious?!
I didn't buy white because I "know nothing about computers". I bought it because I didn't care to pay $200 extra for black and 40 gigs of hard drive space. I had already planned to upgrade to the 320GB hard drive and use the one that came in my Macbook as an external. Sooo....I think I'm pretty smart for saving myself $200, don't you think?

yes im serious.
you will never be happy with white.
you will always wish you had black
you saved in short term in monetry terms but lost out big time in wider scheme of things.

yes white is for girls.

it goes deeper than man = black and white = girl....its a personality and state of mind thing. its about real and fake.

yes everything i wear is black.

steve jobs also wears black sweaters. yes, black.
