White for females, black for males?

[Jeremy W]

I'm a male. I have a shiny black car, a shiny black computer, and a shiny black iPhone.

I'm a male with the white one. I picked it for a couple of reasons:

* The black shows too many fingerprints on the back.
* The white = 16gb (don't bother asking me which one I got)
* I like it because most users have black and I like going with the underdog.
* You see the white back, you already know it's an iPhone.
* I actually like the white better.

I have a white one and I was a guy.

You had a sex change to match your iPhone? You're truly a hardcore Apple fan.

I have a white one. Although, to be honest, it's because I was told the white one would arrive before the black one, so I ordered it.

I bought mine, a white 16GB model, like that. The store didn't have any black 16GB ones in stock, and I was not going to wait any longer. I am now glad I picked white, though. It only took me a few days before I became truly fond of the white body. I even returned the black case I'd bought with the phone and bought a clear case instead.

Should have made this a poll:

White, male
White, female
Black, male
Black, female

I think you'd find a lot of guys with the white one. I have the white one and I love it, have yet to regret not getting the black one.

Male, white iPhone.

Hated the fingerprints and smudges on the black. The white looks good, always.

I have a Black 16GB 3G, as I think it just looks more phone-like, but there's nothing at all feminine about a White one. When every iPod was white, they didn't look feminine at all.

I have a black rubber case on my phone that covers the whole back and sides so it really doesn't matter what color phone I actually have. The worldd may never know.

On the gender issue, I have seen a complete mix. I know many girlswith black phones and many guys with white. It has nothing to do with gender.

Now if we could get an iPhone without typos, it'd be great.

Female, black 16gb iphone.

Should have made this a poll:

White, male
White, female
Black, male
Black, female

Done!

I bought white because I had too....for a black one I'd have to wait 2-3 months....so I still wouldn't have one.

It's just a color..I care about the functionality, not the way my device looks.

White is for males, too, I have a white phone (I am too cheap for a iPhone, but its a white phone still) and I like the white and black iPhones.

 

[manhattanboy]

I also wanted to get white so people know I got the top model.

I got black for the EXACT opposite reason... too many muggings and thefts

 

[sushi]

Of the current color choice, probably black.

I would go for a purple one (like the new Nano colors) if they had it.

That would be a problem no matter what type of iPhone you have - its a iPhone!

 

[branjosef]

I actually have a white phone trapped in a black phone's body. We're in therapy.

 

[branjosef]

Double post...sorry

 

[iTeach]

I am a male and I purchased a 16GB just to get white. I liked the way the white looks, and it matches my MacBook.

 

[PNutts]

I hadn't picked a color when I bought mine at the AT&T store, so I asked the sales guy which I should get. He said white so I did. It's never without a case so it don't really matter.

 

[Dimwhit]

I'm a man, and I got a white phone because I just didn't care, and that's the one that was available. I put a case on it, anyway, so color is completely irrelevant to me.

 

[Anuba]

What this poll shows isn't that males prefer black iPhones, but rather that 84% of iPhone owners are males. So much for the chick magnet factor.

 

[LAS22]

if the 8gb came in white, i would've gotten it.

 

[Opie]

I have black and the wife has white and i like them both. White is a little girly but whatever float your boat.

true true
but the white has higher street value

my case is black so I think it looks smooth that way
