Hey owners of white iPhones!

I have heard of the 3G and 3GS turning yellow as the rear is plastic. Like menel said on 4 and 4S the rear is glass and on the 5 it is aluminium and glass which will not change colour over time.
The 4, 4S and 5 don't change color because the panels are glass, as said. I can't vouch for the other phones because I've only had black.
I don't think a white one would have any more risk of becoming discolored compared to a black one fading.
My white 3GS neve turned white I had it for little over 18 months, nor did my white 4 I had that for just over 2 years I never bothered with the 4S, I now have the white 5 and have no colour problems either yet had it since August 2012.
I didn't have any problems with discoloration on my white iphone 3g or 3gs (although they did get dirty due to being plastic). I opted for black in both my iphone 4 and 4s but I've never heard of that issue and my iphone 5 which is white hasn't changed in color at all either although it did appear to because I was using a zagg hd invisible shield which started to yellow, causing my phone to look like it was as well.
