Any color switchers here?

2G No Choice
3G (Black) No Choice
3Gs (Black) No Choice
4 (Black) (White unavailable)
4S (White) Finally Yes!!!
5 (Silver) First Choice
5S (Champaign) First Choice
6 Plus (Gold) (Silver sold out at launch - funny gold available)
6S Plus (Rose Gold) Just because

So yes, I am a switcher. I think I will go back to black one of these days.

If they came out with a Product RED iPhone (not C) I will be all over it, in a cesium second.
 
I had a gold 5S and I loved it. The shade of gold and the fact that the back had the white glass on the top and bottom made for a classy-ass phone. The 6/6s, however, have an ugly shade of gold IMO. Would've ordered rose gold had it been more copper, but ended up going silver.

Was v tempted to go to space grey or gold but stuck with silver. The gold is too yellow. If it had been lighter like on the 5s I'd have been all over it.

4: Black
4s: White
5: White
5s: White/Gold
6 Plus: White/Silver
6s Plus: White/Silver

Except for the fact that I didn't have the 4s and I ordered my 6s Plus in Space Gray, we're identical I'm phone colors over the years!

Yeah, I'm a color alternator but this year I'm also changing it up a bit with physical and storage size as well. I'm going from a Space Grey iPhone 6 128GB configuration to a Gold iPhone 6s Plus 64GB one. I really want the bigger screen and the GOLD really attracts me, much like Gollum to the RING. But I'm still iffy on the storage space, what with 4k video, 12mp photos, and Live Photos. But with a good LTE connection, I'm hoping to store them off phone.

I went 128GB this year because I plan on using that camera for 4K constantly. Maybe everyday. I'd rather play it safe since I'm keeping this phone for 2 years. That is, if I can contain myself.

3G 16GB and 3GS came in white, but it was only the back color. The bezel was always the same color. And I agree, I'd hop on a red iPhone regardless of the bezel color but Apple, please, put black bezels on it. Let the black bezels free of Space Gray!
 
I switched it up last year only. I've had, in order:

white 3G
white 3GS
(switched to a competitor due to a temporary lapse of judgement)
white/silver 5
black/space gray 6
white/rose gold 6+

I think the black looks sleeker/more elegant, but lacks a bit of the character the white has.

Either I'm going senile, or I didn't post the 2nd and 3rd quoted posts lol.
 
Going back to Space Gray from Silver. I hate how the white front plate looks with a case on the phone. Or maybe I just never found the right case for the phone (even though I have over 10). So back to black, where any case looks sexy as hell.
 
Yea I'm switching from space grey to silver this year. I didn't really want space grey. Initially I had the 6 plus in silver but it was only 64GB. I wanted 128GB but I could only get it in space grey. I'm glad I got 128GB but I would have preferred the silver or gold. This year the colour I didn't want was rose gold. I would have settled for the space grey again but I'm happy that I managed to get silver.
 
I hate how much lighter is the space gray on the 6! I really wish apple would have stuck with slate!

I've always had black iPhones since 4. I'm going silver white for the first time to match the new ride I just picked up.

The case is where I'm thinking I'll switch things up. My 5s is in a black leather case, making it entirely black and very classy-looking. With the 6s I'm going to go with a colored leather case or keep it naked, or maybe do a skin or sticker. Something more fun than what I have now.

Unless of course I switch up for the rose, in which case the phone will definitely not be getting a case.

I am using my 5s naked (no case or screen protector), and I used my 4s without one as well. It's held up pretty well for all the drops and knocks it has been through, though it has numerous scratches on the back and sides to show for it.

I am tempted to continue doing the same with my 6S+, but I am worried that it, being bigger, is more prone to accidents and damage. The protruding camera is also one area which I would like to minimise contact with by using a case. I might try to look for as thin a case as possible, but it seems like using one will be inevitable this time round.
 
I went for the Gold iPhone 5S and then switched to Space Gray iP6+. Stuck to Space Gray again this time only because I prefer the black bezel however I also wish the Space Gray were a couple shades darker.
 
I had originally ordered a black (space gray) 6+ from AT&T last year. However, my order got inexplicably canceled and I ended up driving three hours and getting a 6+ in gold. I like the gold, but I miss the black face as I think it looks sleeker. From the beginning, I've had:

iPhone 3G: black
iPhone 4: black
iPhone 4s: white
iPhone 5: black
iPhone 6+: gold
iPhone 6s+: black

I had wanted a gold/white 5s and ended up with Space Gray. With my 6+, I ended up with gold/white.

Back to Space Gray. As another user posted elsewhere, when the bezel is black, it looks like one big screen. I also find the black bezel to be less distracting when watching video.
 
Been using white for the past 4 years and am going to go with the space grey for the 6S. Was gonna do rose gold before it was announced but saw the actual pictures, looks a bittttttt too pink for me!
 
I have had every iPhone since the original, as soon as i could get white, I did, and I stuck with it, as it initially reminded me of the original iPod. With the iPhone 4S, I went black, as I picked it up on launch day, and that was all they had left. Since then, I've been back on white / silver all the way up to my 6. I placed an order for a space gray 6S Plus. I'm just in the mood for a change.
