White iPhone 5 Unboxing

Irish Rose said:
The Black iPhone 5 isn't going to be any different, and will still show a ton of fingerprints. It's just one of those things that goes along with the Black model.

My black iPhone 4 doesn't show any fingerprints. At first it did but now it doesn't.

Personally, I was planning on going white with this model but the White+Silver combination really messed it up for me. I would have preferred it if they had gone with one or the other. Anyhow, Slate+Black iPhone FTW! :)

Really? You had to use, Duh, to make a point? :rolleyes: If you happened to read my post at all, you would have seen that I was also talking about the front, which will be the same as the 4S as far as fingerprints goes. Now, don't go getting your panties into a wad over my "opinion", use whichever one you like, doesn't make any difference to me. ;)

Duh...I was just kidding. :D The fronts are pretty much the same on both since it's the display. Maybe slightly more prone to FP on top and bottom front, but not really a concern. And It definitely wouldn't sway my color choice.

You're happy with the white, and I love the black. Choice is a beautiful thing. Either way were both on the same page with our excitement for Friday to get here.

Same here. I swore I would go white this time (as I've had black for every device in the past). After seeing the white, I personally feel the white clashes with the raw aluminum. Beautiful? Yes. But not for my tastes.

...and that black bezel is just ohhhh so sexy. :cool:

I like BOTH phones but I like the black version better, these pics doesn't do it any justice...one lousy pic with dirty film on it...

I couldn't agree with you more. I do think both the Black and White are good choices. Hey, at least we'll have LTE on our 5's here in Philly. :)
 
Both look great.

I would've loved to see an all aluminum model.

Still trying to figure out why the unboxing isn't video.

I think if the black unboxing photos were like the white, I would be more impressed. The black unboxing is just sloppy.

I went black. First time since I could make a choice.
 
Both are such great looking phones. This was the hardest decision colour wise for me. No bad choices, I just prefer the professional look of the black one.
 
I chose black at first but now torn between both colors. Since I'm cancelling the 16gb pre order and getting a 32gb some day, I can see more pics when the phone comes out.
 
The only thing that would make the white better is if it had the black antenna ring around it. THAT would look so good.

Ah, didn't notice ur were from Philly. My iPhone is on AT&T and my iPad on VZW. So my iPad has LTE and my new iPhone will have it once AT&T rolls out in Philly which will be before years end for sure. So no problem waiting. I was gonna switch to VZW for LTE , but I've been with AT&T since the Cingular days and I have unlimited data and since I've never been late on a bill in over 7+ years, they treat me pretty good. Not worth starting over for LTE. AT&T will likely be faster then VZW anyway, so I am pumped to get it, but like i said, not a feature that couldn't do without. I get consistent 4-5mps down via hspa+ so it's not like I'm on EDGE or have a really slow connection. It'll be here before I know it. Actually, I'm gonna check and see if there are any updates on AT&T. Haven't checked in a while.
 
I've only had black iPhones and will continue to until they don't make a black one. The phone just looks awful when the screen is off.
 
I've always been so back and forth about color, but always end up choosing white (even though I've ended up with black due to it not being available once).

...but I've never seen the community so dichotomized over the color. Some people like white and hate black, others like black and hate white.

Personally, I really don't like the black...

Was unsure which to get. I'm leaning towards white at the moment.

I had a really hard time deciding as well, but I went with the white because I have a black iphone 4 and a white ipad 2, so I decided that I wanted to match. I think I made the right decision :)
