Try to stop caring.

First world problem...seriously, does it really matter? I was on the fence about the color too, but I like both. I went with white because I like the screen bordered with white. Just try some different cases. In the end, the color of your phone does not affect its quality or usability. I'd say get over it.

Just remind yourself of how badly the slightest of damage will look on the black one, and the fact that the look of it will be ruined after a drop onto anything rough.

Trade it with someone who has a black one but thinks they should have gotten a white one. The black ones are chipping a bit on their coloring (I know mine is) and I'm sure there are a lot of owners who wish they got the white one for that reason.

Yeah, I mean, joking aside, isn't it pretty obvious? Your phone is out of the return period, so you can:

Swap it with someone (see above)
Sell it, buy a black one

or do something like some skins, that basically change the face color up, here's a good option:

Personally, I like the white one better this year. I agree you should try to set up a trade. There are likely a lot of people who wish they got the white.

So what, we should help you switch it (which you can't) to have you come back in a month complaining how you should have kept the white? I honestly don't understand people these days.

Trust me, you made the best decision. I got the black one on release date about 2 weeks later, the chipping commenced. I SHOULD have gotten the white version. But I had the white 4 and wanted to get the black one so bad...so much for that.

The white one is a better buy. When its time to upgrade, you can sell for a better price because it'll look like its in better condition. So just stick with it if you can.

[thenumbersrbad]

I believe you have 30 days to return, so if you are short of that return it. As long as you bought it from an Apple Store

[andyx3x]

Go into the Apple Store and throw a hissy fit about wanting to swap your white one for a black. If that doesn't work, try Craigslist as others have already stated.

[MrGimper]

Borrow someone's Golden Retriever and go into an Apple store. Claim you are blind and lonely. State that you had your first visitor in 3 months and you showed them your black iPhone and was STUNNED to hear you had been duped and actually had a white one.

Claim discrimination and all that.

I think the white one is a perfectly fine choice for a girl. Enjoy it !

For the first time ever the black iPhone is the better looking one. I always used to get white iPhones but chose to get the black.one this time. That black slate design is beautiful.

I agree with this. The black iPhone 5 is clearly more beautiful than the white one.

I got the black one I wish I went with the white.
