White or black iPhone 5, which looks better

White. Without a doubt. The black only succeeded in looking like every other android phone out there.
I have a white 4S. I bought my 4S in white because I thought the 4/4S design looked way better in white. And as much as I love the look of the white 5, I think I like black this time around.
I really love the black band around it. It looks like its made of lead. Should be enough time to make up my mind.
I have a year (until I upgrade) to decide if I want a white or black 5S.

....Glad I got the white...wouldn't want a phone that goes to Vegas every week
I had to switch my white ip5 to a black one. The screen looks so much better with the black borders and I love how it blends with phone when it's off. Also the black is the exclusive color for the iPhone 5. If you go on the apple website and go to the phone carrier stores, they advertise the black one. Whenever I look at the white ip5s, it reminds me of the 4s.
If you wanna look like batman on the street you will most likely never get a girl. Just a tip.
Never said anything about wanting to look like Batman. The phone looks like something out of Dark Knight.
Just as this camera looks like something out of Iron Man
...and i already have a girl.
I prefer the white iPhone 5. I have both the black and white and the black is more prone to dirt unlike the white one. And the white one looks more classy
Well I have the black and I think it looks better but my wife has the white and she thinks it looks better. Go figure.
It is the same for me and my wife. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Black. With white you see all the front sensors and the screen edge. Black makes it look so much more seemless
I have the black. The reasons being:
- When running apps that are not updated for the 5, the cut off on the top and bottom of the screen is much less noticeable with the black.
- I like the daarker color scheme of the back much more than the white
- Even though there are reports of it scratching more easily, I like the black antenna band. This is what I was hoping for from the iPhone 4 and 4s. Also, when sitting both a black and white face up on a table, this is the only thing that makes an iPhone 5 easily discernible from a 4/4s at a quick glance.

Do you really care what others think? Asking what others find atheistically pleasing is like asking which peanut butter is better-crunchy or creamy, it doesn't matter one iota.
