For those saddened by the lack of a silver bezel on the fingerprint detector on the black, it's easy to think that Apple opted to keep the black face pure and unobstructed. The silver circle would have destroyed the pureness of the face of the phone.
Just my 2 cents.
PS. Oh and I have the black Plus and I'm loving it...after having a White/Silver iPhone 5.

I've always had black iPhone's and iPads then recently went white and am very happy for the change. I thought the black edge on the screen and the white border might bother me but it doesn't and I'm very particular.
You just answered your own question. Go with your gut. In this case you are thinking about going with white. Just do it. If you get black you will contemplate for days that you should have gotten the white.
Cause white also looked better with iOS 7??
Changing your background image can fix that
Get gold so you can play that I'm so fancy song. Honestly I get black/space gray in hopes that the gender neutral color will help my resell audience
I know more guys with gold/white actually. I feel that gold is more feminine, and white and black are neutral
I generally go for the white, and when my 5 was replaced with a black one by the insurance company I genuinely hated it and couldn't wait to upgrade to the white 5S ... but the 6 in black ... whoooooosh it looks beautiful and I'm extremely tempted to go black this time. I might change my mind again once I finally get to see a white/silver one in the flesh, but currently the back of it is really putting me off.
Also, I feel Apple are puishing the black more this time? The wallpapers on iOS8 certainly seem to compliment black more than white

Yeah the gold is definitely feminine. I had the 3G in white I purchased the black one and then in the middle of the year they released a white version. I loved it. I've gotten black ever since though because of the whole front thing and watching videos. The white takes away and is distracting imo. Not terribly but I like the solid color on the front when the screen is off. It's just one big screen.
I sort of thought that too when I was younger, immature and got my first iPhone. Since then I've grown up, grew a pair and don't give a damn what others think...
I haven't seen any dirt get caught in the cracks around my home button on my white, three year old 4S.
Anyway, the biggest pro for me with white vs. black is that on sunny days, the white gets less hot.
I always had black phones dating back to the original iPhone but opted for the white with the 5. While it was nice I found myself feeling bored with the color after owning it for awhile. I got the black iPhone 6 and while the smudges drive me a bit crazy, it looks very sleek and cool. With white in a case its just kind of bland. I do like the silver ring around the home button better with the white.
I had black and it's very nice and the best phone when out of a case, but I'm just exchanging it for white. I've never had a white phone and, since I'm putting it in a case the back doesn't matter for me, but what does matter and will always be visible (case or not) is that silver ring
Well, if you have your TV in front of a white wall, wouldn't that be same as a white bezel? Plus, the frames on the newer TV's are becoming pretty thin
I've always gotten the black iphone, and wanted to try the white one, this time I did get the white and after using it for a few days, I like the white. It's not as distracting as I though it would be

Th border defines the image. It's important to me. Unless you have used a projector on a wall where you haven't defined the border, you haven't experienced what adding the border does to the image.
It even bothers me that there is a white border around photos on the iPhone. You have to tap the picture to make the white go away.
If it is a non issue to you, that's rad, but it seriously bugs me.
