i think im the odd one out. I got a white 32gb 1 week after launch, but the more i see the black i think i made the wrong choice. IMO the black is alot sleeker looking & i prefer the idea of understatement.

No big deal though
 
Completely content and happy with my white 4s, was a bit concerned as i always had the black iPhone since 2008.

Glad i got it, no remorse whats so ever.
 
Went from a 2G > White 3G > Black 3GS > White 4. Skipping the 4S, will probably get a black 5 if it's an option.

Honestly I love both of them, and don't really have a preference. I'll just keep alternating and get the best of both worlds :)
 
I got my White 4s yesterday and i could not be happier with the choice of getting the White model. It looks really clean! :)
 
I am completely torn.

I have a black iPhone 4S i just bought that will be returned tonight. I can't decide if I want the white one right now.

I've had black forever. White is really nice but as another poster said....the white on the screen would off balance the white on the phone. But it does look really good.

Help? Haha
 
I've always had a black iPhone so i decided this time around to get white which i just picked up last night and so far i really like it.
 
I had a black iPhone 4, to give myself a change and so it looked different to my previous phone, I bought a white iP4S, I don't regret my choice.
 
As long as Apple makes white iPhones I will buy them. I got my 4s about a week ago and couldn't be happier!
 
My only regret with getting a white 4S is that it's difficult to find a matching case that doesn't look odd. Bumpers are OK, but they don't offer me the protection that I need.

Also, despite the fact that the iPhone 4/4S design is indeed beautiful (hats of to Mr Ive here), the white version just can't match the understated elegance of the black. It's flashy, but not "classy" if you know what I mean?

That being said, I do actually like the white version, it feels very fresh after nothing but black iPhones since 2009 :)
 
Heres my take for what its worth.

I'm in the same boat as many, deciding between the two. Still owning my 2nd gen ipod (white with the blue and red buttons) I really dig the white, but that was well before there was even an option. I've also had my black iphone 3g for 3 years, (white never an option there). I do like the black, but as its about a year older for the 4 body style than the white, I could see how some view it as, "stale," or common. I still think it looks classy, and do not like the earpiece, proximity sensor and all that at the top on the white.

As far as stereotyping it goes, I've learned that there's usually a source of truth behind them. While white is not overtly feminine, I believe someone earlier explained it well. White is newer>more fashionable to many>more women care about fashion. I'm interested in this topic (psych major) so I have looked around (not scientific experiment by any means), and have noticed more women with white (I would like to see stats on who buys what).

Anyways, I'm a guy and will probably get the white because 1) It is newer/slightly less common, and 2) Looks slick esp with og rainbow apple logo on back. While the fact that this is even a topic is greatly disheartening from a world perspective, such is life...firstworldproblems
 
I'm glad I ordered white, especially paired with my perforated black incase slider case.

These are my exact thoughts too. Which is why I'm thinking of returning and exchanging for a black one. I can't seem to find a case that I like with white Iphone. Black is so much easier to match of course. I had the black Iphone 4 which is why I wanted something new looking when I got the 4s. But now having it for two weeks, and still not finding a case that I like and seeing a bunch of cases that I like for the black Iphone. Plus the whole giddy part of having a new phone/color is starting to wear off since having it for two weeks now. I have about 5 days or so to make it my final choice. Right now I'm about 75% sure of changing back to black :eek:

@venomozed. Same here, I'm picking up the black ip4s from apple this morning, for me, the white novelty is done!
 
love my white...no regret at all. I know if I picked black for the last 20 years of having a phone...I'll probably regret getting the white one.
