Regret getting the Silver iPhone 5S

Do you mean motif? Not trying to be a grammar nazi, just don't understand what you mean.
I prefer silver but yay, we each get our choice
I have always had black iPads & iPhones but on launch day the only 32GB 5S Best Buy had was the white. I could have had a 16GB in black. I really agonized over it and decided why not. Since then I went with white on my iPad Air. I keep it in the same type of case as my daughter but the white bezel lets me know its mine.
I always prefer black and think white is too girlish for me and the white front is a bit distracting and discomforting to me. After my iphone 4 was broken I had to borrow my wife's white 4s. It wasn't as bad as I thought. But I'm definitely enjoying using the space grey version of iPhone 5s. I would have consider the gold one had it had a black front.
So much "discussion" about what is basically a personal subjective opinion that really doesn't play a role to anyone else.This thread is "Winning "
It's like talking about what your favorite color is--it's cool and all, but it really doesn't make for a meaningful/useful discussion as it's nothing more than a personal preference that is neither right or wrong or good or bad, it just is (and can even change for people or some might not even have any preference).
I think white is better. In the past I could only get black iPhones. Now I have a white iPod touch and a white iPad mini. I think black is just so plain looking. I've not seen the gold iPhone in the flesh yet, but the white and silver is beautiful. I don't like the space grey at all.
As they are two completely different colors, unless one is color blind, the difference should be easily detected.

Had a slate 4/4s and 5. Always preferred black on all my Android devices. This time around I went with the Gold 5s and couldn't be more happier.
I believe I'll stick with either white/silver or white/gold from here on out.

Do you have the same problem as the OP? If so, you can put up a Craigslist ad for a direct trade for a Space Gray iPhone. Plenty of people out there who think the grass is greener on the other side.
No regrets! The Silver/White combo is the best color.
Gold gets old and the Space gray is bland.
Just my biased opinion. ;D

If they are Silver, they are identical. The easiest way is to look at the home button: no square box and a metallic ring on the 5S.
AFDoc was replying to a poster who couldn't tell the difference between Slate iPhone 5 and Space Gray iPhone 5s.
