@OP,

Are you from the UK? Your choice for the spelling of color is my assumption.

Based on the location the OP listed, I believe he/she is in Australia.

Born and bred.

I'm currently in AUS though.

What was the source of your hatred? Just curious....

White one shows too many circles around the speaker area which in my opinion doesn't look very good

I went with black

malias4 · Dec 31, 2012, 06:19 AM

Black for this year, till now i had white

ChristianJapan · Dec 31, 2012, 06:23 AM

Was black, is black, will always be black; iPhone, iPad, iPod ...

maflynn · Dec 31, 2012, 06:24 AM

Black, always had one, always will.

RossMc · Dec 31, 2012, 06:29 AM

Black

I had a white iPhone 4 before upgrading to the 5 and I just think the white boarder is too distracting from the screen so decided to go with the black this time.

Ann P · Dec 31, 2012, 06:39 AM

First iphone was black but went white ever since. You do have to care of it more though.

R.Stoychev · Dec 31, 2012, 06:53 AM

White for now

kyussmondo · Dec 31, 2012, 07:33 AM

Both look great. Wife has white, I have black. I was originally wanting the white but only had blacks in stock so took the black. Don't really regret my decision as both look great, but I think the white just edges it for me.

arefbe · Dec 31, 2012, 07:40 AM

Black, never even considered white.

Four oF NINE · Dec 31, 2012, 08:20 AM

My 3G was black, because that was all that was offered, the 4S is white, and I'll probably stick with white when I upgrade to the 5S.

rctlr · Dec 31, 2012, 08:22 AM

All my iphones have been black, ever since iphone3g days.

skaertus · Dec 31, 2012, 08:34 AM

Black, of course. White is for girls.

Murgatroyd · Dec 31, 2012, 09:38 AM

Because I knew I would be purchasing a wallet for the iPhone I chose white for the contrast. Black would have blended in with the brown leather. <Not better>

Quality material and workmanship. Wallet was purchased at an Apple Store.*

These statements are getting incredibly old.

Anyway, I have a white one. Although, after playing around with my friends black one, I may switch. The black ones really nice.

Balzebub · Dec 31, 2012, 09:40 AM

Just curious, will the white eventually become off white or even yellowish?

My iPhone 4S is a year and 3 months old and remains snow white in color.

Variations occur with use even with the dark black color. Plastic shields keep the body good as new if resale is a consideration. Function is all that matters, I find, as time rolls on.

Sodner · Dec 31, 2012, 10:20 AM

Got black.........AGAIN.

When I did see the white iPhone 5 in person, I kind of wished I had went white. In fact I went with a white Mini just to change things up. Generation after generation of black is getting to me.

aziatiklover · Dec 31, 2012, 10:25 AM

Black this year but had white previous year 3gs and 4s black for 3g, 4 and 5.

Godf1st · Dec 31, 2012, 10:37 AM

Had a white ip5 on release date and then 1 month later got the black. Black hides the black bars when apps aren't customized for the ip5 screen.

bryanc28 · Dec 31, 2012, 10:54 AM

White.

D.T. · Dec 31, 2012, 11:01 AM

White this time around (the wife got black, her previous 4 was black, my 4S was also black).

I really dig on the polished beveling and ports and thought it would be more nick proof. Did a blue Elago case, looks great with white (and shows off the design pretty well).

My iPad 4thG is also white, blue smart cover
