Pros/Cons of Black/White iPhone 6

[techiebug]

White looks nice. HOWEVER, in the long run, black is a safer choice. white will make the benzel stand out.

 

[stasha]

buy both and choose and resell one after.

Black pros: it isn't white
cons: it's too black.

White pros: it isn't black
Cons: it's too white

For those saddened by the lack of a silver bezel on the fingerprint detector on the black, it's easy to think that Apple opted to keep the black face pure and unobstructed. The silver circle would have destroyed the pureness of the face of the phone.

Just my 2 cents.

PS. Oh and I have the black Plus and I'm loving it...after having a White/Silver iPhone 5.

All of my phones have been black. It's time to change it up. I'm going white. The gold makes it look so nice.

White will help with heat issues.

I have had my black iphone shut down when on the boat in the sun. White iphone never did that.

That being said, I ordered black.

I've always had black iPhone's and iPads then recently went white and am very happy for the change. I thought the black edge on the screen and the white border might bother me but it doesn't and I'm very particular.

I'm still having trouble deciding whether I should get black/white. The only part that matters to me is the front panel, since I will be using a case. I've owned 2 black iPhone's and no white ones, so I was thinking I might go white this time around but I'm just not sure.

Please offer your advice!

You just answered your own question. Go with your gut. In this case you are thinking about going with white. Just do it. If you get black you will contemplate for days that you should have gotten the white.

White looks better with iOS 8

Cause white also looked better with iOS 7??

Changing your background image can fix that

I thought the space grey was for guys and the white & gold was for chicks. Real men don't get white or gold iPhones IMO.

 

[JeepinCoastie]

Get gold so you can play that I'm so fancy song. Honestly I get black/space gray in hopes that the gender neutral color will help my resell audience

I know more guys with gold/white actually. I feel that gold is more feminine, and white and black are neutral

I generally go for the white, and when my 5 was replaced with a black one by the insurance company I genuinely hated it and couldn't wait to upgrade to the white 5S ... but the 6 in black ... whoooooosh it looks beautiful and I'm extremely tempted to go black this time. I might change my mind again once I finally get to see a white/silver one in the flesh, but currently the back of it is really putting me off.

Also, I feel Apple are puishing the black more this time? The wallpapers on iOS8 certainly seem to compliment black more than white

Yeah the gold is definitely feminine. I had the 3G in white I purchased the black one and then in the middle of the year they released a white version. I loved it. I've gotten black ever since though because of the whole front thing and watching videos. The white takes away and is distracting imo. Not terribly but I like the solid color on the front when the screen is off. It's just one big screen.

 

[andyp350]

It's really down to personal preference but I've always found that the White bezels on the iPhone's and iPads distract from the screen, whereas the black blends in.

 

[JWorld127]

The black is a nightmare if you're anal about smudges and fingerprints on your screen b

and this is why i choose white/silver combo

I sort of thought that too when I was younger, immature and got my first iPhone. Since then I've grown up, grew a pair and don't give a damn what others think...

Dirt that gets trapped in the cracks of the phone is visible on the white. Especially around the home button. Maybe the ring around the button hides it better now?

I haven't seen any dirt get caught in the cracks around my home button on my white, three year old 4S.

Anyway, the biggest pro for me with white vs. black is that on sunny days, the white gets less hot.

 

[EdMan]

I always had black phones dating back to the original iPhone but opted for the white with the 5. While it was nice I found myself feeling bored with the color after owning it for awhile. I got the black iPhone 6 and while the smudges drive me a bit crazy, it looks very sleek and cool. With white in a case its just kind of bland. I do like the silver ring around the home button better with the white.

 

[Sketchr]

Any light scrapes or nicks will show up less on a silver/white. I'm very careful with my phones, but scratchgate was real.

I had black and it's very nice and the best phone when out of a case, but I'm just exchanging it for white. I've never had a white phone and, since I'm putting it in a case the back doesn't matter for me, but what does matter and will always be visible (case or not) is that silver ring

I always go with black. The darker the better. It frames the display. When was the last time you saw a white framed tv?

Well, if you have your TV in front of a white wall, wouldn't that be same as a white bezel? Plus, the frames on the newer TV's are becoming pretty thin

 

[ZhenyaF]

I've always gotten the black iphone, and wanted to try the white one, this time I did get the white and after using it for a few days, I like the white. It's not as distracting as I though it would be

Th border defines the image. It's important to me. Unless you have used a projector on a wall where you haven't defined the border, you haven't experienced what adding the border does to the image.

It even bothers me that there is a white border around photos on the iPhone. You have to tap the picture to make the white go away.

If it is a non issue to you, that's rad, but it seriously bugs me.

I've got a 6+ white/silver reserved for an exchange for my space grey. But I'm having second thoughts nows because the space grey looks seamless. Also, you can't see much of the curves on the white.

Here's mine alongside the silver/white 6.
