I prefer the white model because I guess it stands out more than the black model. I'm also OCD with my phone, and the white doesn't show the smudge marks as much as the black model does.
 
Everybody knows the world is flat

Everybody knows the sun revolves around the earth

Everybody knows any man who wears pink is gay

Everybody knows no real man would get a white iPhone.

Yeah, that's it! :rolleyes::D
 
I got a white 4S because everyone has black ones. Would have gotten the white iPhone 4 if they had them when I bought mine.
 
Black, but soon I will be putting some gold plates or carbon fiber ones. Gotta make it fresher than others
 
Apple could make a fortune by having custom sports teams' logos and colors on the iPhone. Imagine a Vols Orange or a Tar Heel blue iPhone? Holy crap, I'd have an overload of which one to get.
 
I own a black iPhone 4S and had the black 4, but I sort of prefer the white. I just have OCD and feel like the black matches my MacBook Pro better. I also don't like the way certain cases look on the white iPhones.
 
I tend to rotate colors on my iphone upgrades every year...but I prefer the white.
 
I wish apple offered colors like they do their ipod nano lines. Those things comes in a multitude of colors. I guess I understand WHY they don't do it, but it would be nice. Perhaps even an interchangeable back-plate (sanctioned by Apple).

I got white so that I could write phone numbers on the back with a Sharpie. :D

I do that on my black one with one of those silvers sharpies. Works very well.
 
The color is completely personal preference. I just got the black one because I personally like it better. No one is going to care what color you get. Get what you want.

So I gotta ask, since a few people are saying they got black because they're male, does that mean if a girl drives a black car she's manly?

As I said above, mine's black. I didn't think I seemed manly, at all in my avatar, but what do I know!
 
That's just ridiculous, the color means nothing in regards to gender.

What's funny is that even little children know that isn't true.

When I got my white iPhone 4S, my four-year-old son immediately asked me why I was using a girls' phone. I asked him why he thought it was a girls' phone; he just shrugged and said it looked like one. I was immediately reminded of all the debate on MR and it made me chuckle. But still, for a little kid to come up with that on his own (especially when growing up in a family that has never really discussed colors vs gender) is pretty funny.

LOL! At least it's also understandable from kids. It's just sad from grown adults.

That is pretty funny but I would expect a child to claim that white is girly as opposed to an adult saying that. Aka it's a childish thing to say.
