White, because most cpycats out there are black.

Moreover, I really dislike the black for reminding me too much of the monolith from 2001 Space Odissey. No wonder since the monolith was the actuall inspiration for the iphone design
 
Definitely white...I don't know why you guys think we haven't seen the official phone yet...

Personally with the iPhone 4S. White is a definite.

But when it comes to the color of the iPhone 5,

Black or White....this is my reaction

Getting black this time.

Doing manual labor, white gets very dirty around the button.. And it looks ugly.

Black this time for me, plus, it's easier to put screen protectors on because you can see them easier while applying.

The clear glass layer with the clear protector makes it hard to line everything up, to me anyways..
 
I remember this argument, nearly a decade ago, about the black and white iPods. Apparently, white is distracting when you are viewing something on the screen. That's why you dont see many white TVs. I went with the black iPod and the only white product of Apple I have owned is the 3GS. I haven't personally experienced any distraction but to each his own though. With having the 3G, 4 and 4S all in black, I might just try out white this time round. ;)
 
Not buying the longphone. Decided it was time for a change so went with SSGS3.

However, I will be eagerly following Apple for the next redesigned iPhone with a 4.5" screen and then will happily come back to the fold.


....maybe

so what color are you getting?

lawl!!

Bazinga!!!
 
At the moment not getting it, my 4S and SGS3 have been good to me.

If I do end up getting it with spare cash or something though I'll most likely get a white one.
 
I'm a straight male with a white iPhone, so you must be an insecure dbag.

I'm always struck by the white iPhone when I see it in the wild. Maybe it's because it attained 'unicorn' status until last summer, I dunno. But it sure is beautiful.

I'm undecided. Need to see press photos. I'm leaning white though.. in 2 years, black has gotten a little 'dull', to me.
 
I'd like to have limited edition red. Like the U2 LE iPods they used to have. Think it was AIDS awareness or something.
 
If we get black brushed metal band with black, then I am going black. Otherwise I am up in the air. I REALLY like the white back of my white iPhone, but I don't care so much for the white front. If only they went with how they did 3GS and prior. :(
 
I had a black iPhone 3G, now I have a black iPhone 4S, and in September, I will have a black 6th gen iPhone. :D
