Do you regret purchasing your iPhone colour or not? And why?

My iPhone no, but shorty after getting a black iPad I wished I'd gone for white. After a while I got over it though
 
Had a white iPhone 4S, white iPhone 5, white Moto X, and now a Gold iPhone 6.

I wish I had gotten the Gray iPhone 6, only because my Galaxy S4 was gray and I *LOVED* how it looked.
 
I have a white iPhone 5. No regrets. I never notice the bezels, ever. I also have a 2012 MBA and its silver bezels don't bother me either, though a lot of people hate them.

Maybe I'm weird or something, who knows.
 
Had a black iPhone 5 and currently have a black iPhone 6 Plus. I personally have always been a fan of black phones. I find it looks more classy and blends into the background for media consumptions. I used to own a white HTC, but after months I found myself regretting and envying the black model. I guess me and white phones just never got along.
 
I sure did. I originally got the black 6+. It had been so long since I had a black phone that I forgot how awful the bottom bezel looks because the fingerprints show up like crazy. My OCD was out of control. It seemed worse on the 6+ than ever before. I used T-Mobile's promotion to switch to the white. Never will I get black again.

You're not. That bezel argument is dumb. People can't just say they chose black because they like black better. They have to come up with a lame reason why they made a better choice than you.
 
I had first started out with the white/silver plus. The white bezels, and that black line where the screen meets the white bezel started bugging me. So I paid a restocking fee and got myself a space grey. Love it.
 
I had a 3GS and 4S in black. Skipped the 5S and will be returning to the iPhone 6S Plus. Plan to get it in either rose gold or gold. Got my iPad Mini 3 in gold and love it. Something about it being different and see in it person just really appealed to me. Was planning to get silver, but once I got my gold mini decided to match and get gold iPhone.
 
All my iPhones had been and are white except the original. My first iPad was black but my current mini 3 is also white. White is more cheerful.
 
I've always stuck with the white, and nothing will ever trump the white iPhone 4 for me. I'll probably get Space Gray / Black for the 6s.
 
I got space grey 6+ and love it but just got a Gold 6+ as my work phone and I am loving it too!

So even though I have both I kinda wish I had got gold for my personal phone.
 
I generally like white phones better, but on the iPhone 6, I love the Space Gray one.
 
went back to 6 white and absolutely love it, clean apple original colour, there is just something about white :)
 
I use a case with my iPhone 6, so the back isn't really visible. Black front still looks cleanest when turned off.

I did however like my white iPod touch 4G when it first came out, as well as the white iPhone 4S and white iPads. The iPhone 6 in white just looks a bit weird around the edges, almost like plastic.

They should include other combinations like gold or silver w/ black front, just like the combinations of the new MacBook.
 
People commonly don't like the white because it shows the sensor to the left of the earphone. Not only that it shows dirt more in general.

I am considering white for my next phone I must say!

Black shows fingerprints like crazy. And maybe it's because I've kept a tempered glass screen protector on my iP5, but the only part of my phone that looks "dirty" is the home button because, well, white plastic tends to turn a bit yellow. I expect that considering it's a 2.5 year old phone.
 
I always have had regrets about my choice of colour with every phone I've ever bought. When I had a black iPhone 5 and iOS 7 was released I wanted a white phone as I felt iOS 7 looked better on white devices so I got the silver iPhone 6. Once I saw the Space Grey 6 I wanted that so ended up changing. For me, the black screen looks sleeker and smarter blended into the black bezel and case. I'm happy with that now after 4 months. However, I sort of wish I had got the 6+ now though ;)
 
i dont regret my gold iPhone at all :) especially now in the summer heat where black gets hot like crazy.

what i do regret however is not getting the iPhone 6+ :D already got used to 4.7 by now and i could do a little bigger

In my opinion the black model is better when the phone is switched off but I like how the white bezel merges with iOS since version 7.
I had a black iPhone 4, a white iPhone 5 and now a white iPhone 6
