Wearing the pants; nice.

Are you more tech savvy than your husband? Generally speaking though, the trend you're fighting is due to, aside from the US and generally the world being patriarchal, women not really taking much interest in tech, ergo, they have less knowledge and ability to make an educated decision on the matter.


Yes, I am definitely more tech savvy than he. I never realized how much in the minoroty I was until this forum, but I am totally a woman tech geek. :p

I ordered:

32 GB White for me
32 GB Black for husband

I feel like the only woman who takes charge and orders the family electronics. I'm always reading, "I bought my wife, I bought my girlfriend, I bought my mother....etc." Hell no, I'm the tech geek and I tell my husband what he's getting. :eek: I also ordered our cases yesterday from otter box.

Haha I know the feeling! I always do the ordering for myself and my bf. I ordered my white 16gb iphone and I ordered him a htc incredible 2 (he wanted an andriod, traitor lol). Have already ordered cases and screen protectors too ;)
 
White :D As soon as I saw Steve with the white iPhone 4 at the keynote I wanted it, but obviously there had problems with it and I already had a black iPhone 4. Got the white now! Finally :D
 
Started with the original 2G moved to a black 3G then white 3GS next was a black 4 and to keep with tradition went white on the 4S.
 
pre-ordered the white 4S, had to settle for the black 4 at launched since white wasn't out

so pumped to get one this time

You are not alone. I'm female and the techy in the fam here too. I was up most of the night making sure we got our phones....with loads of glitches along the way. Hubby Black, myself and college daughter White. Can't wait to fly out to give it to her in 10 days! Now, what to do about cases..... >_<
 
White, wanted it with the 4 but couldn't get it, had White for 3G and 3GS, but now I will have a 4S White 32GB :D
 
I figured white would win-out this time around.

I noticed that all of Apple's promotional materials for the 4s mainly show the white model. My guess is that they are attempting to use that as a differentiation between the 4, which predominantly shows black models in all of the ads.

There was a lot of demand for the white 4 model that just never came due to delays. It isn't surprising that a lot of folks would go for it this time around.

Lastly, given that many are interested in "standing-out in a crowd", white makes sense since almost every phone out there is black.

White is the new teardrop form factor. ;)
 
Black...
I got iPad2 in white, I love it, but its like something not there... strange, but will be getting black from now on :rolleyes:

My husband thought I was crazy when I set the alarm to get up in the middle of the night to order phones. I assured him that he will thank me next Friday. :p

That's awesome about flying out to give your daughter hers in person! Sweet!

Cases - just more fun shopping! I was going to go with Speck again, but didn't see anything I loved. Read about Otter Box on this forum, and found ones for both of us on there yesterday. Good luck ~ happy shopping!
 
White 16gb for the wife, Black 16gb for me. Only reason i ordered black was to differentiate between the 2x phones. I actually wanted white, so i might steal hers from time to time. :D
 
I'm still on my white 3G.. waited for that pesky white 4 that never came, and then I figured I might as well wait. So I am PUMPED for my white 4S!

Every Apple product I've ever owned has been white.. though I might break that trend with a new MB Pro :(
 
I order a 32gb in Black. I like the white, but I figure since my 3gs is white I might as well change it up a bit. I would have ordered both if I could :D
