White bezel regret?

[HEK]

The black looks so clean especially when using a black wallpaper. App icon really pop, and videos and pictures have that black surround which I prefer. Makes whole face look like screen. Can't tell where screen stops and bezel starts. I dislike the black line around screen on the white face. I add a black Apple leather case and I've got the all black phone I want, along with one handed use as the leather is gripper without adding much bulk to phone.

I have a silver 6 plus now, might get a space grey 6s plus this time. I like how the black bezels blend into the display.

If anything I'm having black bezel regret, the front looks very sleek when the screen is off but the white makes the OS and colors look more fitting and alive. Vibrant, colorful wallpapers look misplaced on the black so I've been stuck using these subdued, darker tones and the bezel contrasts too much with most of the system/apps. I'm going back to a white front.

Every device I've ever tried white bezel on, I've regretted. I have to have black bezel.

It'll distract my eyesight since most of my apps have a dark background.

Because every one of those is another SKU they have to manufacture, ship, and stock.

Do you see how many different Apple Watches they have? That's not a good excuse.

Personally I think black looks much better when the phone is off, as it hides the enormous bezels.

I hear "it's another SKU" every day at work and it's literally the most terrible excuse to not release a product.

I switch between black and white. I really like the white bezel, as it doesn't show fingerprints or smudges. Looks really nice when a strong light hits it and it looks really white.

That being said, I think I'm going to go black for the 6S+, as I currently have a white 6.

One day Apple will give us an all black iPhone, which means they won't be able to anodize it, and my head will explode.

I'm a black bezel type of guy, I just think is more discrete, and one time I was sampling an iPad with the white bezel, and it kept distracting me, that is how accustomed I've gotten to black bezels.

I like the white bezel. I've always preferred it, but with the advent of iOS 7's design, I like it even more. It's easier to actually see the design of the iPhone.

 

[Cryates]

The iPhone 5/5S in white is probably the best overall looking design to date. The two-tone back, the Silver edging, the chamfer/squared-off body and the ultra premium feel was the perfect combination.

Im buying the gold because I really like the finish. So I'm going with white front

 

[whyamihere]

every time i look at my girlfriend's white bezel i just can't stop noticing the thin black border of non-pixels between screen and bezel. it's a deal breaker IMHO. i prefer the seamless black bezel. in a perfect world i'd get gold or even silver with black bezel. but apple doesn't think i should, so i won't. space gray it is.

I have been getting the white bezel for about 3 generations now. I'm bored with it. When it comes to video, I feel the white distracts and as another posted, all black makes the bezel look like its part of the screen.

That said, I'm going Space Gray this time around.

Same I love the white bezel, but I've had it since the iPhone 4S, time for a change.

Hey if you get silver, I will too.

Im getting silver

 

[tommysm]

Im getting silver

Honestly? Lol

 

[engelke2010]

I've gotten white the last couple of phones and my iPad Air. I had thought about getting black this time around, but I don't like the gray back. I'll probably be sticking with white again this time, but it all depends on what is available.

I've had a black iphone every year since the 3G but I will be rotating between black and white colors every tick/tock iphone iteration from here on out.

I had to get Gold last year so I ended up with the white front and I can't stand it, but I wanted the 6+ so bad I've lived with it for year... I can't wait to go back to black!

 

[Appl3FTW]

I'll be so focused on the pink haters I won't have the time to worry about the white bezel... Rose gold ftw!

 

[applegeek97]

I really wish Apple did two white phones and two black phones.

IE: Gold Space Grey, and normal Space Grey, then normal White/Sliver, and Rose Gold in White

 

[jetjaguar]

Honestly? Lol

yep

 

[GnrlyMrly]

Hey if you get silver, I will too.
