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?
Probably.

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.
Congratulations on raising a normal, healthy-minded son.

LOL! At least it's also understandable from kids. It's just sad from grown adults.
The only sad thing about grown adults are the ones who get shamed into thinking that they are "evil" or "brutish" for thinking there's such a thing as girl colors and boy colors. They do indeed exist. It is instinctual.

Okay, first of all... you just said "Congratulations on raising a normal healthy minded male son" Male son? I think if it's a son, then it's already male, correct? You're a retard.

And if it was "instinctual" then every man would think that white is girly, which isnt the case.

Purple and pink, baby blue? Sure, I can see those being considered girly colors. White? Sorry no....

I think subconsciously, some black iPhone users (the ones that claim "I didn't get white because its girly") are pissed because a white iPhone came and triumphed over the black.

And Calidude, give it up. We know you're a dude because you got a black iPhone. Just become a little more secure with yourself. It's pathetic. And while we're on the subject, you're probably one of those people that are homophobic and don't believe in equal rights, correct? Which goes back to you being insecure.

And btw, saw 2 customers with white iPhones at work today, both dudes. Again, got to admit that most of the people I see with white iPhones are guys. Face the facts.

I mean seriously, you can sit there and say that white iPhones are girly until you're blue in the face. What do I say? I say black iPhones are far too common anymore.

Hmm, a little article here... "White iPhone to boost iPhone sales" http://www.tuaw.com/2011/04/26/white-model-to-boost-iphone-sales-in-upcoming-quarter/

Sometimes you're typing with distractions around you. Honest mistake.

Implying that society doesn't warp the views of men. Children understand this difference from the day they are born.

Women like my girlfriend got her White iPhone because she "likes girly things". Is she "insecure" because she thinks white is girly and only buys white products? (her laptop, her desktop too)

I think you wish men acted more like women.

And Calidude, give it up. We know you're a dude because you got a black iPhone. Just become a little more secure with yourself. It's pathetic.

Nobody has the right to get married.

You live in LA. The male demographic there is different from say, North Dakota.

I mean seriously, you guys can sit there and say that white iPhones are girly until you're blue in the face. What do I say? I say black iPhones are far too common anymore.
Apples and Oranges.

Yes, obviously, women will be happy there's an alternative for them and they'll happily snap them up.
 
Probably.

You're silly! Enough said!

Black. I have a White psp. Son has a black psp. I always looked at his with envy. He looked at mine the same. Got him a black iPod because after the white psp I just feel it disappears better. I found white catches my eye all the time and draws me out of the expereince. Almost bought one though as its so stormtrooper :)

Black. Never get bored of black.

Edit - almost forgot. Black looks so cool with the white on black theme. Plus with the series60 of this forum.
 
Black...

I reserved the black iPhone (thought about reserving a white as well), even though I was still a bit undecided but when I got to the Apple Retail Store, I immediately knew that I had made the right choice. In my opinion, the black phone looked professional, conservative and looked slimmer than the white ---even though it is not, and I was sold.
 
I get my iPhone 4s tomorrow :D so excited but i am swaying to the white, i feel as if it is the right choice because i believe the black is very common and i want to "be different". that is my two cents. Thank you all for participating, it means a lot <3

Word of warning:

It seems the popular color choice for the 4S is white because it wasn't available with the 4 launch. And Apple is pushing the white more this year.
 
White because that colour apple product is just beautiful. I wish they made more white things. The white iPod Touch and iPhone are just so beautiful.
 
I used to think the same way (white looks a bit fruity, no?). But fingerprints and minor scratches are allegedly far less visible on the white one. I see that as a significant advantage despite the fact that I'm male.

A scratch on the white bezel would make the scratch twice as noticeable! It basically doubles because of the reflection.
 
I would get (and already have) black.

I have black because I'm a real man. Incredibly butch. Macho. Masculine as all get out. A man's man.

I wouldn't get white, or any other color, because they are not manly. Not for real men. Someone might think I'm not manly and butch if I got a white phone. That would be terrible, because I'm such a manly man.

Any man who gets a white phone, or wants any other color, is very suspect.

Women can get any color they want - because most women don't worry about crap like that.:rolleyes: ;) :D
 
I've got a white and don't regret it at all as it's damn sexy as hell but it really does get visibly dirty fast. :(
