I searched and searched and it doesn't seem possible considering the parts.

I saw the white today and I fell in LOVE with it. Perhaps too much in love.

any options for me besides selling?
 
1. go home depot buy white paint
2. dip it in the white paint
3. profit

btw: white > black
 
The black one looks objectively better. You don't want a white iphone, you just think you do.

I think it's the springtime coming that makes me want white for some reason. I had a white 4s and I loved it, but I wanted a change for this one.

Now I want the white back! :p
 
Either sell and re-buy, or look on CL for someone looking to trade for a black one.

It should be fairly easy to find someone willing to trade. Is ur current phone mint?
 
Just try to sell it on ebay and re-buy one. Or if your friends have a white one and would like to trade with you. Or if you have enough money, just buy another white one. :)
 
It would be far less hassle in selling on CL/eBay or offering a trade on CL then tracking down the parts and rebuilding the phone.

So when Fall comes you can want the black one again? Not sure why Apple would keep giving you new phones for your used ones, doesn't make sense in any way.
 
white is for females, black for males. and yes it is quite simple, the front face and rear covers are removable takes about one hour, many mnay instructional videos on youtube. parts themself are available on ebay im sure, but there are companies offering replacement parts, tutorials are on youtube, watch them carefully and have proper tools, its not impossible.

Every person who I have ever known who has has an iPhone has had a white one. All of them were guys. I had one black iPhone which was a 4 and hated it because it showed smudges more than the white one did.
