Any of you thought about exchanging your white iphone 5 for a black? Do they charge you another activation fee?

I would kinda like to. For one I HIGHLY doubt you would be able to do so. And I like my white but black looks amazingly nice. Just be happy with what ya got
 
Like with my previous iPhone purchases, I wanted White but at the end I ended up with Black.

I'm happy with it and now I think it's much better.

I don't know why I can't wait, it's not like I love the new iPhone, I'm just impatient and just wanted a new toy. I might try a straight trade when I get bored with it.
 
I have the black, and I didn't like the white in pictures, but looking at the white in person at the apple store...it's a great looking phone. Can't imagine those who have it feeling a huge desire to switch.

Still like my black and slate, though.
 
i love my black/slate iphone5. my preference didn't change when I saw it in store. white is nice nothing against it but I still love my black.

Ask Apple about an exchange. Your carrier won't charge a second activation fee since the fee is related to the account and the upgrade, not the sale of a particular unit.

Anyway, I like the white one, though I think the black one looks sharp, as well. The white one sparkles in the right light settings. It also feels just as premium as any iPhone that preceded it.
 
I got the Black, but I really love the back of the White. The front ... not so much.
 
There are a bunch of people wanting to do the exact opposite. Your cheapest option is to swap with one of them. I would do the swap at an official store, just so they can get it all on record. You can also return the phone within the return window and start again. I know AT&T charges some sort of return fee, so you may get charged for that (was $40 last I did it, but a quick call to AT&T had it waived).
 
I love my black iphone. Dont know IF i had white If i would go to black. both colors rock imo.
 
I got a white one this time and I think it's really nice and I think the black one is nice too. It's not a big deal tbh. LOL
 
If your new iPhone is flawless, I wouldn't swap it based on color. You may end up with a device with a little quirk you didn't notice before.
