Pre-ordered a white iPhone 4S and have a Lucky Labs spectra wrap coming in. It's a skin covering the antenna band in a white,matte color. It will look sick!

Nice one bro..

I don't know why, and I know heaps of people have said the same thing in this thread.... But I just can't get it out of my head that a white phone (especially) is for girls...... No idea why....... I think it does have to do with that fashion thing someone mentioned earlier...... I think that people will think I'm a 'show off' (somehow?!?) if I get a white.... Like a metro..... BUT, since I'm terrible with peer pressure and after reading this topic, I'll probably end up getting white......... Figure that one out :confused:

It's because you've been raised / conditioned by a society of idiots that white is only for certain people, a concept as idiotic as the color of your car or the color of your skin making a difference in who you are as a person :rolleyes:
 
I had a white iPhone 4 for months before it was released and THAT was exclusive. The color is now popular and so it'll come down to personal preferences.

I kind of regret going with another white iPhone just because it's so damn hard to keep clean (I'm some what OCD when it comes to keeping everything perfect). And then there is the case matching issue as well. I think the black is clean and super sleek but it's hardly unique since the iPhone 4 is mostly in black and are out in the masses everywhere.

If there weren't so many damn black iPhones out there I would go with black. Sometimes I still wish I did - you can't really go wrong either way. iPhone 5 I'll move back to black :)

Meh I don't really care what others think. Some people (especially Fandroids) will think you're a show off just for having an iPhone regardless of the colour. :rolleyes:

Looks good to me! Thanks for that. Is it the white,matte or the white,glossy?
 
Definitely happy. The white doesn't show dust and particles, making it look clean all of the time. It also just has a nice look that I think the iPhone should've had from the beginning. It's nice to break away from the all-black look of devices nowadays.
 
The only concern I'll have with it is if the skin will turn yellow?

I've also been concerned about that but thus far (2-3 weeks in) its been holding up okay. Then again i try to have clean hands most of the time. But i know 6-8 months down the road i might have to get another one to replace it since it'll likely inevitably become stained with time. Unless i'm proven wrong by it's resistance/durability.

In the meantime though, i'm just enjoying it.

If that question has to be asked it suggests someone has buyers remorse.

My wife is quite happy with white, I on the other hand find it feminine. The 4S is a tiny phone as it is, at 6'4" it's swallowed up in my large hands.

Conversely my Samsung SII is a far better fit, a mans phone of substance durability and style. Having a true widescreen with a larger keyboard, it's everything I wish Apple would build into the iPhone. However I do understand the attraction of a small phone to Apple lovers who idolized Steve. It was his idea & they live vicariously through him. It why they brag about Apples success, as though it's their own. Hero worship is common in the US.

Frankly I'm thrilled that Tim Cook is now head of the operation. A man that does not need to fulfill his ego at others expense. It's a new era at Apple and they are better off. He's bringing balance and common sense into play. The employees must feel free now and able to be the best they can be without having to please a heavy handed ruler. Apple is flush with great talent that will support and ad to Cook's already substantial power. It's a good fit, that many will wake up to recognize like never before.
 
all sorted. ive just been to apple & now got the black version instead. definately made the right descision
 
My White 4S looks awesome, had so many people comment on just how goodlooking the phone is(yes I know it's just a piece of tech), I bought an Incipio feather clear case for it, cant bare to cover it up!
 
I just got mine and I love it, It's really pretty and I have no issues with the Screen+White Front Contrast Issue and the back is just gorgeous.
 
For several years now a black phone has become norm. So having a white iPhone making you less normal, stands among the crowd and all.

But it's all about trend cycle among people. Remember how white used to be a generic color on PC around 80's until early 2000's? All PC come in white, not particularly bright white too, but white indeed. And all of sudden black PC case become something phenomenal, cool, unique and many people sell black PC component for a bit higher. Now most PC come in black, and guess what? White PC considered special (AGAIN)

So yes.. today black iPhone maybe dominant, and therefore white iPhone considered unique, so more and more people going to get the white iPhone, and when it becomes less unique, the black one will emerge again as special treat. Yeah .. life :)

In short, get what you want. I love white, but it has some cosmetic disadvantages over black one. So, while people increasingly get a white iPhone to stay unique, I'd still get black and in time the black will be popular again.
 
Had the black one for 3 weeks only because the white was always out of stock. Finally got it a few days ago. Completely satisfied with it. It also makes the contrast of app icon colors or colors in general pop compared to the face of the black phone.

So, you like the white, then? :)

I currently have a white iPhone 4, might get a white iPhone 4S. I do not think its a gender-specific color, reminds me more of my first iPod. I love it.

No regret with mine. I had black iPhone for the past 3 years so it was time for a change.

Yes, I'm happy with the color choice.
 
very very happy with my choice :D

the problem is that I get too much attention with this...way too much...strangers complimenting it...

I had a black iphone for 3 years and NEVER once did anyone said nice looking phone. A black iphone is like a black android phone...just another typical phone.

What case is this?!?!
 
I bought the white one because the estimated delivery date was about a week sooner than for the black one.

It's nice, but nothing that I'd go out of my way to have.
My only complaint is that I haven't found a complimentary case for it (the teal and black Candyshell I'm using is nice on its own but clashes with the white).
 
I had the black iPhone 4 so I decided to switch it up and get the 4S in white. Very pleased, it's a nice change. Plus it matches my iPad 2 :)
