White. I always upgrade and from day one I think of resale value. I know that the white will hold up better appearance wise.
Seriously for all they guys with the white=female mentality:
What you did when the iPod was only available in white?
and with the white earpods and cables? paint them black?
Also you never wear white shirts or watches?

I go back and forth. 3GS White. 4 Black. 4S White 5 Black. I will go white for 5S. I do the same with ipads. going for a white ipad this time too.
i picked up the black, because i thought it looked better. but then i saw how easily the chamfered edges chipped and how the back attracted fingerprints, so i returned it and got a white one.
I bought 'white' based on my gender. White is masculine and being a man, I felt having an iPhone this colour, my sexuality wouldn't be questioned so much in comparison to having chosen black. Neither really being a colour of course. Its amazing how black and white are neutral in 99% of things, but when it comes to the iPhone it defines a persons sexuality and gender. Its down to you to make the right choice!
yeah, white has always screamed female, whilst the black one just looks like it's something that would be owed by somebody with a huge dong and who is unquestionably, completely male. I just don't like looking at my fridge, car and wallpaper because I start to question my gender again. But then I just look at my black iPhone 5 and remember I am all man. Thank you apple!Had the white on release, looked a bit girly, gave it to my wife bought a black
Champagne color

"TechCrunch has published the first photos of the iPhone wearing its new shiny coat. In addition to the traditional black and white, Apple's next smartphone will reportedly be available in a pale gold color dubbed "champagne."

Well, I suppose I should sincerely tell you to enjoy your white pants and white iPhone.

Yep, white pants although I wear black socks? I hope that doesn't give out the wrong impression and people think I'm a little feminine! Nobody can see my pants thankfully as they are safely under my trousers.
feminine.
just kidding, lol. I have a black 4s and am thinking of going to the white side with the 5s for a change.
Interesting, in a google search for white vs black iphone there is a link to a gay discussion forum about the topic. And most the the men there prefer black. Funny considering all the people here afraid of being labeled gay if they use white phones
