Yeah I get what you're trying to say. But I would expect it to be like that. Every company would advertise their product in perfect conditions. It's just expected nowadays. They probably photoshop them also to improve the color quality.
Got a tip for us?

How about the black doesn't look as good as the black online, when I see black iPhones in the wild they have fingerprints all over it with smear marks. It's all a matter of what you like but I think my iPhone looks pretty white.
You have a vision problem, but I really think your main concern should be your sheer lack of logic. To sit and say that you simply won't buy a product because you're too dim to understand the concept of "white" is simply ridiculous.
It's white. Every person in this thread has told you it's white. It's white in press materials, it's white in person, and every person is telling you the same damn thing - theirs is just as white. Your entire argument is simply idiotic.
Looks pretty white to me. Of course it's not all white just like the black is not all black it's two toned which should be common knowledge.
Maybe your monitor has a purple / blue haze
time to complain on the internetz
"My monitor has a blue haze! Haze-gate!"
You do realise that the images on Apple's website aren't actually photographs, but rendered images? They're not the real thing. Therefore the whites look whiter and the blacks look blacker (or at least different than in real life).
Sorry for the low quality. Idk if you can tell the difference but the iPhone does look a little creamy when it's wearing a white case. That's why I don't like to use this case anymore. But it looks white when bare or when wearing a case w/ a different color.
My black iPhone 5 looks exactly the same black as the image on Apple website...

Yeah, it looks " creamy " . Anpther that valid my point.
I think the white iphone gets a little yellow over time because it gets dirty. At my job, many people have white iphones and when they give it back to IT they have a yellow tinge to it. I imagine the display model iphones might look the same with people touching them all day with their dirty hands.
No its not dirt. For unknown reason, Apple use a " yellow tint " in their white that make the white looks " cream white ". The white iPhone in hand looks definitly different from their advertising pics, posters, adds etc... Same goes for white iPad
really bro? anyone that refers to an issue or controversy as [issue]-gate is just dumb. Watergate was a hotel. Issues aren't hotels.
It's posts like these that give SNL the fodder to do skits like they did on the iPhone 5 Saturday. Hilarious skit IMO.
I agree. I had the same experience with the iPhone 4 and iPad. I get excited about how great the white looks in photos. Then I get to the store and its creamy looking, so I get black. I was hoping for a different result when Ii see the 5, but now I won't get my hopes up.
It's not the lighting. A long time ago I had a car, a Grand Am GT, that was called "Bright White". It was amazingly white, and never looked yellow in any light. I see many "white" cars today that look creamy or yellowish. The difference is the color and finish, not lighting.
If you like the white iPhones, great. You don't see a difference? Good for you. Ignorance is bliss. I wish I didn't see a difference, because then I'd have the beautiful white iPhone I've been wanting. Instead, I'll likely get yet another black.
