White for females, black for males?

I like my 2G iphone better than the 3G but..
I would have gotten the Black but that is just because I like the way my blackbook looks.
I love my white iMac too, however given a choice I probably would have gotten a black iMac.
So vote black for me, but I think it is up to the way black makes the apple logo pop.

I agree, and I own a white one. In addition, the mockup completely disregards the fact that there are 3 sensors there that the black does a pretty good job of disguising. They'd be plainly visible in white.
Male. White iPhone to match my white MacBook.
My boss always picks on my "cute computer" and now picks on my "cute phone" but the products that come out of that "cute computer" keep me very gainfully employed
I also wanted to get white so people know I got the top model.
16GB FTW.
EXACT same reason.. matching my macbook and people know i got the 16gb not the 8gb
Caucasian. White iPhone.
I decided to pick up the white because it is the "true" color of Apple products.

yeah black is for MALES.
white is for girls and also males who are apple fanatics.
as white is the brand image. more flashy.
white is for, sorry to say, people who want to show off, who want to be SEEN using apple mac products. those who are sucked into corporate branding.
although white is cheaper, so white can also be for those who are sensible.
if i was sensible i woulda got a white macbook. but i know i would never be happy with the colour.
same with ipods.......i had a black one years ago.......now i bought a silver one not too long ago......ive never been happy with silver......silver is for girls.
BLACK IS FOR REAL PEOPLE. MOSTLY MALES.
BLACK IS MMM
i wanna take off the apple lighted glowing logo........we dont need branded products......

I have a white one. I like it. White is the original Apple color!
Young'un, aren't ya?
The original Apple colour is Wood, followed by Bisque. White didn't appear until the Apple IIc.
Now.. if they made some I and II(plus/e/c/GS/) emulator and game apps for the iPhone/iPod Touch, that would be cool! Just not the Apple III, though.. that thing sucked!
BL.
Get some self-esteem.
The matching part is the only one that should matter. That's why I got a black iPhone...to match my Blackbook.
i have a black iphone 3G, but SwitchEasy sent me a white and a black Capsule Neo case for youtube to review and i like the white better. So technically i have black but with a completely white case lol
I despise anyone who despises anyone who has a white Macbook.
Assuming you know the reasons why someone bought a particular color of something is pretty immature.
You're cool though
Why do people keep saying this?! White is not a 'classic apple' color. They started using it like in late 90's or early 2000's.
Don't get your panties in a bunch over this.
People are referring to the white as a classic color due to the fact that Apple differentiated themselves/stood out from the rest of the computer makers when they started using white... eMac, iMac, iPod... during those "years" the whole Apple line had the white theme... IMO the biggest "white" product was the earphones that became signature Apple.
As you can see now... white is slowing being phased out by Apple's current theme of blacks and aluminum (MacBook air, iMac, iPhone 2G, classic iPods, etc etc.)
SOOO white can be seen and easily considered a "classic". To the teen newbie Hilary Duffs/Lindsay Lohan crowd... this is the Apple THEY know.
I didn't have to write this...
What's interesting about this is white, although being phased out, is almost required to continue to be used. The head phones, the cables, mice, keyboards, etc. They all are white plastic. Even the iPhone brought white back. They can't make the head phones out of aluminum, nor the mice so they'll have to stick with white. Which is a little annoying as I was glad to see them phasing out plastic.

i look down upon people with white apple products.
those who buy white fall into these categories:
- buying the product as jewellry
- to be "cool" and stand out as apple user/owner
- low self esteem, need this to make themselves feel good
- know nothing about computers
- have very poor taste in music
- waste time
- chat on facebook and msn
unless you are fairly poor and couldnt afford the black one or the pro, i dont respect youre choice in choosing white.
and if you do choose white, you should be making a massive attempt to hide it in public, and only mainly use it in private, or make efforts to hide the colour with a case or something, outdoors.
white is for girls. plain and simple.
and girls are not computer technology savvy are they? i mean generally speaking, the computer world and market is male domindated right?
girls buy macs for the wrong reasons. some guys too no doubt.
I totally agree! or they just like the color white...
Seriously, how can you make so many judgements about a person?
"- know nothing about computers"
My mom and my best friends dad collectively own four white iMacs and they're both software writers and technical support staff.
"have very poor taste in music"
That's all opinion. I have a white iPhone and I had a white iPod and I pride myself on my music tastes. I go to a concert about every two weeks so I'd say I'm probably exposed to a lot more music than you and thus am more qualified to make an argument as to what music is better.
"white is for girls. plain and simple. "
oh so that makes the misogynist generalization that girls:
- buying the product as jewellry
- to be "cool" and stand out as apple user/owner
- low self esteem, need this to make themselves feel good
- know nothing about computers
- have very poor taste in music
- waste time
- chat on facebook and msn
However I'm glad you made such an irrational and ridiculous statement. As the numbers show many men bought white iPhones and they're comfortable in their masculinity to put up with people like you. But what do I know? Judging from my signature I'm just a boy with a girl's brain.
I am a male with a white iPhone and my wife has a black one but who gives a f***.I bet when half of you see a male with a white iPhone you don't say s***.Somebody will make your eye match that black shiney iPhone.
hold up hold up hold up
jsut cause you go to a concert every other week, you know more than me about music or have better tastes and opinons than me?
i had to stop reading your post and write this.
you have no idea. im not gonna get into details but ive written long essays on this.
LIVE MUSIC IS A CON, bands play live music to make money, people go out cause they wanna drink and escape and have fun. gig is just rehearsed songs you ve heard on teh albums. the album versions are better.
i respect no one who goes to see live music. and you think this makes you special? i laugh at this comment in utter disdain and shock horror.
yep a white apple product suits you to a T....you carrry on buying white products.
going to concerts every other week exposes someone to more music than someone who doesnt? oky doky. how can you compare yourself to me? you know nothing about me. and im 99% certain that its the other way around. so chill.
no youre not qualified as to what music is better. lol this is a joke. for you to say that.
maybe the men have feminine sides waiting to burst out every now and then.
this is exactly what i said in the first place.
white apple product owener versus black colour owner.
the divide is clear.
me and you are on the opposite poles.
we cannot see eye to eye.
i will never buy a white apple product.
i dont want to a part of that group.
just like people wanted the white ipod earphones, even tho the sound quality and build are a disgrace to modern earphone standards.
peace man.
peace out.
