Does anyone else think Macrumors should require all users to be 18 or older (credit card check or something)? Seriously. The OP couldn't even take the time to spell out the word "Why" instead abbreviated it "Y".

*sigh* I weep for the youth of today.

Haha for sure. I noticed that. We should ask the OP:

Y do u care wut other peeps think? :rolleyes:

^This!
 
Pretty sure there are straight men out there who have sex with girls and also own a white iphone. If not, I don't mind being the pioneer in that regard.

I got white because every single phone I've owned up to this point has been black, or brown (sidekick lx). I wanted a dramatic change from my usual. Plus, I think the white looks infinitely better this time around.

When the white model starts shipping with a free skirt, then I'll worry.

I'm a dude. Conservative, gun-carrying, scotch drinking DUDE. And I prefer the white iPhone.

To each his (or her) own, I say.

I still think the best looking iPhone was the original iPhone, which had the light-colored metal backing. Glad they've gone back to that, though this time I ordered black. For some reason the new white ones don't look as nice to me as the 3GS, 4 and 4S did in white.

This is my husband, 100%. I honestly never knew it was even considered girly until coming on here.
 
It seems this is discussed every iteration of the phone.

Yes most girls prefer the white phone.. but the main reasons why people should prefer the black over white is-

1. The black bezel blends in with the screen on black making screen SEEM larger. / while white you can tell more easily where screen ends and bezel begins.

2. White seems to get dirtier easier or at least thats my thinking.

needless to say I prefer the black
 
hey 'y' is faster to type than 'why' especially on a phone...........

Sure, it's quicker by all of 2 seconds! Further, your title has 47 characters. Somehow you found it easy enough to type 47 other characters, but couldn't take the 2 seconds to type the first two letters? Also, you know what you could have done? Dropped the two extra "?" marks and instead added the "Wh" since the "Wh" is important, but the extra "?" marks are not!
 
didn't want to get involved however.. putting "Y" in your shortcuts to auto spell "why" would solve that. Save time and write in proper english.
 
yeah its not really girly. Its just a colour, but girls tend to go with the white. 90 percent i know have white. And ditto for black and guys. I had white and got called girly all the time, whatever!

x2. Thus if you're one of the guys who has a white iPhone, you'll get slack for it :)
 
I ordered a white iPhone 5 and I'm a guy. :cool:

We'll just have to wait and see if you're still a guy once it arrives. :p

My soon-to-be-ex phone is white. I ordered a black 5 because the black case I had for my 4S hid most of the white and therefore drew attention to the case.

I also had a white iPad 2 and bought a black 3, because I wanted to be able to tell them apart easily.

All in all, I'd probably prefer a Mac-coloured phone.
 
haha, I always thought it was girly and that girls get white and the boys get black (very elementary I know) but then my brother got the white and I see a lot of other guys with the white one. Most people cover them anyway so it really doesn't matter.
 
Some of my guy friends have White ones and I think it's a slick phone.

However, the vast majority of White iPhones I've seen personally are used by women.

That's probably where the stereotype came from.

Buy what YOU like... that's all that matters.
 
I'm a guy. My wife and sister both have black iPhones but mine is white.

Of course, I'm a latte-sipping, prius-driving, vegetarian progressive so anyone who thinks the white phone is for girly-men probably sees me as proving the rule. But I also drink single-malt scotch, so can I have approval? Please, I'm desperate for approval from faceless strangers!

Seriously folks, just get the color you like.

Relax.

P.S. Sorry for using a sentence fragment.
 
I have a white 4S and I'm not a girl. I can see how white can be perceived as "girly." However, I have no issues owning a white iPhone.
 
I purchased a white iPhone, and I'm a male. The iphone 5 in white this time around looks more pleasing to me over black. However, black is also nice. ;)
