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

Yeap i regret getting on the Space Gray 6 plus.... i have to admit that the total black on the front of the 6/Plus is very minimal and matches the design perfectly..... but as a previous user of white iphones in the long term i couldnt live with cleaning it all the time cause dust reflects more easily on the black surface... so when i went back to 6 (after selling my Plus) i choose the Silver. I also believe that the new iphones in black resemble of shamesung galaxy's from distance.... i couldnt be happier.... even Tim uses a silver one :)
 
My first iPhone was the 4, in white. I switched to black to better match my other Apple products and then to space gray. I quite like the space gray models and plan to continue with this color.
 
I like both colors . I have a pattern. In the new design phone I been going with sexy all black . New design looks slick and elegant. Once the "S" cycle comes around , I switch to white. I've done that since the 3G came out . But will see this time around though ... I been enjoying the space grey because of the curve screen and just looks really nice how the black screen looks when the device is turned off sitting on a table. I might break the pattern and stick with space grey .
 
My first iPhone 4 was black, but I always loved the way the white one looked like, so my next iPhone was the iPhone 5 white which I love. The black iPhone looks like just any other phone or piece of technology, whilst the white one looks more elegant and stylish.
 
I love the white iphones, and have only ever owned white since the iphone 4. I used to think that white was a girl thing, but my husband got his in white also. I am seeing more and more men carrying the white iphones nowadays though.
 
thinking of getting gold when the next model comes out, but recall hearing some issues surrounding the white bands and how they and the rest of the finish held up over time. anyone with a gold 6 or 6 plus having any problems with discoloration? probably not an issue for me as I usually put a skin on the body of the phone, but still curious.

I have a gold, and have not noticed an issue with quality or color of the bands.
 
For the 6+, Space Grey works well. Looks a little sleeker and in my mind at the very least makes it seem smaller than it is.

I'd have gotten a regular 6 in silver.
 
I like the black front but I don't like the gray back. And I like the silver back but don't like the white front. For the gold, I don't like the white antenna stripes.
 
When I bought my iPhone 5s the month after it was released, T-Mobile still didn't have the silver version, so had it ordered. Back then, stores only had space grays available. I didn't see the space gray version until later and realized I liked the way the new shade looked as well as how the Touch ID ring's reflective surface looks :(
 
i think i would definitely miss the sleak all-black front, and i can appreciate the antenna bars standing out on the gold. but i've never had a white front iphone and i think i just want to try it out. just got my daughter a blue ipod touch a couple of days ago (really hope they don't release a new generation today), and found i really like the look of the white. and i don't really mind the antenna lines on the iphone. i just think of it as part of the design. i was mainly just concerned they might discolor. but then i remembered i'd be protecting them with a skin. after looking at both silver and gold, though, i was surprised at how much i liked the silver. so now i'm not sure what i'll end up with. i am definitely going to go with the 6+ though.
 
Gold iPhone 6 plus. Only colour they had left for 128gb at launch. Took what I could get. Got a case to hide the gold but I know the ugly truth.
 
I had a space gray iPhone 6 64GB and I decided to upgrade to a silver iPhone 6 Plus 64GB device because of the fact that I was wanting a white face and I feel like with the ring around the home button is a more authentic Apple look.

Not that this matters but when I had the space gray iPhone 6 when it first came out in September a lot of people thought that I actually had an android device. I feel like at quick glance it is easier to tell you have an Apple product if the device is either the silver or gold model. YMMV.

I will say though that I have no regrets about using the silver iPhone 6 Plus and I think that it complements my new silver iPad Air 2 64 GB LTE device as well. I also have no problems with media consumption either.
 
I usually go black white black white black etc with each new iPhone, I got the white/gold this time and I regret it somewhat, dunno if it's the gold or white though.
 
Its easy to change the face of the iphone by using the full screen protector. Here is the one on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Protector-Ant...e=UTF8&qid=1433872638&sr=8-2&keywords=daswise

I changed my wife's white iphone 6+ to black with this protector. Only the home button shows as white with the touch ID ring. Looks really nice. You can also see one of the customer photos who did the similar thing.

Serves as dual purpose, change the color of the face and also protects the screen :)

I don't regret having a space gray 6 but when I Apple use a silver iPhone 6 for their entire iOS 9 presentation yesterday and for almost every single photo of iOS 9, it's starting to grow on me.
 
I bet one of the 6S color choices will be an all black slate grey like the iPhone 5. That may make me regret getting the 6.
 
the silver is growing on me more and more. thought it would be too boring which is why i was leaning toward the gold, but there's something about the silver and white that i'm really drawn to. probably because i've only had the black models.

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 have a Space Grey iPhone 6 Plus and I love the way it looks with the screen off, but eight months later, I wish I had picked the white model! The white bezel goes really well with the colourful blurs everywhere, the menus, the keyboard, most of the stock apps...pretty much everything.
 
I had black iPhones from the 3G to the 4s (I didn't have a 5 or 5s). When I got my 6, I decided I fancied a change and got a white / silver one and am really pleased with it - I just personally think the iPhone 6 looks better in white. I've also got a white iPad Air 2 to match (all my previous iPads were black) and have the same colour case on both (brown leather).

I have ordered the Space Grey watch though as I like the look better on a watch (although if they'd done a white faced one with a brown leather strap I'd have got that so everything matched :))
