Do You Regret the Color iPhone 5 That You Ordered

I ordered white and im leaning towards the black now due to the letterboxing issue, Can someone suggest what would be the most convenient way for me to change the colour as my white ip5 is preparing for shipment.
 
This was the first year I was tempted by the black, it is sleek but I still prefer the look of the white. Don't regret it.
 
I chose black/slate just because I've always wanted a black aluminum Apple product. I wish they would make black MBPs :( the white looked nice but the black looked nicer.

I was up at 3am ET, waiting. So when Apple's (online) store opened, I clicked like I was in a drag race (not Ru Paul's).

Which one? 64
Color? White

But looking back, I love that slate color on the black one. I felt indecisive and had flashbacks to ordering the (white) 4S where the process failed at checkout multiple times. So my goal was to 'get to the finish line,' and I did, but darn. Kinda wanting that slate look.

Does anyone else regret the color that you selected?

The white one looks much better imo. Im just tired of black phones. Too bad Apple wont give you more choices like they did with the new iPod Touch. Those look real nice.
 
I was going to go for the white as had a black iPhone 4 for over 2 years but when I saw the black 5 I couldn't choose between the two so I flipped a coin and fate decided black for me.
 
I ordered the white, but there's no question the black is an amazingly good looking device. I chose the white because all the black iProducts I've owned (iPhone 4, original iPad) have shown fingerprints a lot more than the white devices (the new iPad). I like that cleaner look.

We'll see how I feel about it once I seen the devices in real life.

just keep your phone. pretty sure letter boxing is only a temporary issue. one by one app devs will update their apps to fit the 4" screen.
 
Always had thoughts of the white model since I always wanted the white 4 (I bought the 4 on release day, and had no way of sensibly getting a white model).

I think the black looks sleeker, and the white a little cheap. No regrets here!
 
I got the white again. The black is too black. It's like those black cars with black rims. Not to mention the white looks best against my skin tone.

This pic right here sold me on the white this time around.

It's so clean looking. The letter boxing issue should only be temporary while developers update their apps.
 
I went for white to match my iPad. Hope I don't regret it when I see it in the flesh but I like the idea of the plain aluminium back.

I liked/purchased the white on the 4 and 4s the glass finish was just nice. However on the 5 IMO the white is ugly looking with the grey backing plate looks tacky and cheap. Got black 32GB.

That's what I was thinking, the gray backing looks AWFUL on the white.
 
Black all the way. I had a black 4, but wanted white. In the end I got the black 4 because the white took forever. This time around though, black looks WAY better IMO. :cool:
 
Ended up with the black, although I considered the white for a change. Ultimately, you have to remember that black is more slimming.
 
Wanted white

I went safe with the black slate!

Not at all,went with the 32 white to match the new white earbuds # love my white 4 s and I totally agree with that pic posted the white looks so much cleaner and flashier. Possibly will grab the iPad mini in black but thts next month!
 
All of my previous iPhones were black so I had decided to go with white however, after seeing the images I decided I really like the black/slate with the textured look on the back vs. the white/silver. The hours prior to the pre-order start I went back and forth several times but finally, within minutes of the start time, I decided on black:apple:.
 
I'm glad the majority chose black though, us white phone getters will be even more happy lol
