I have the space grey iphone 6 (my first iphone) how do the white iphones hold up over time, any discoloration?
 
i'd be interested to know myself. my understanding is they don't. but i'm a little worried about the little piece of plastic that rings the display. i've dinged up the one on my black 6 but you can't tell just looking at it, because it's black. wondering if that little piece of plastic can't get dirty or stained or marked up over time on the white phones. i would think it would stand out.
 
I have had a white iPhone 4s, 5, 5s, and currently have the white/sliver 6+. All have held up extremely well. I ordered a SG 6s+ this go around. I am hoping that it holds up as well as my white ones have. Just thought it was time for a change.

I've had a white/silver iPhone 5S for 2 years now and no - there is absolutely no discoloration to speak of.

It probably helps that I am a non-smoker!
 
I've owned white 4S, 6+, iPad 2, 3, mini, Air, Air 2... never had any color issues for any of them.
 
Yeah, I am finally switching to a white silver and I have been ordering black or Space grey for awhile. I was worried about yellowing and also the look of the screen against the white bezel, but I have seen quite a few in person and they look very nice.
 
I never had any issues with the white 4 and 4S that I used to have. Currently I have a space grey model because I wanted something different, I could see myself going back to white someday when I get bored with the dark colors.
