I too struggle terribly with the choice. I only ever had black phones, and I always wanted a white one, but I never bought one because of the awful white frame around the screen. Now that the frame is gone and the bezel is black, I should go white but I struggle because I don't know how I will feel about having something different.
Black is so stealthy - but white/ aluminium would look so good with my Watch. I also worry about the bezel - will the black allow the bezel to melt into the phone, or will it make the bezel look huge? Or will the white/colour option make the black bezel look huge? Yikes!!

Do you wrestle with all of your decisions in life like this?
I'd just go with the white. You've got 14 days. If you like black better, just switch to it then.
Since I already have the IPhone XS Max. I won’t be buying, but if I had to choose I’d go with the Coral as it is the closest to pink, Which I love . My husband though is getting the yellow colored XR for his sister.
Don't think you need worry about the bezel melting on the black!I too struggle terribly with the choice.

But if you want to coordinate with your white watch white should work well. I think one of the videos posted today and in one of the front page posts compared the black and space gray and it's actually black.
I particularly like the White/ Silver option of this model, a 'Jet black' with polished aluminium bands would have been exquisite!
Most likely it uses the same radio components?
I'm guessing similar to the black iPhone 7?
Will do if you get a transparent case. I have been using transparent cases for the last year on my X and bought the same for my Max.
They are all unlocked if you buy it outright. You are correct in saying there is no SIM free model. Simple solution - buy new phone outright, open SIM tray of current iPhone, remove SIM, replace the SIM in the new iPhone. No problem.
They're all unlocked if you purchase through Apple, either outright or via iUP
I'd prefer a brighter orange than the coral. Not buying as I have an X so can wait for next year. But if I was buying I'd just pick a guess at my preferred choice (to ensure availability), and then spend some time in a store playing with the different colours - just can't really be sure looking at youtube videos how they'll really come across when in your hand

we have the same problem
I want one of these so bad but still have a couple months left to pay off an att next contract, and that phone has broke so can’t trade it in sadly! Lol
When I do I can’t decide between coral and white

Went with white. 128 Gb only. I have 256 now on my 8 and there is NO WAY I will ever need that much storage. I saved $ 200 (CAD).we have the same problem
my only problem with the white is that it could be too 'white'. i might prefer the shade of white on a silver iphone xs but i'd have to see it irl. also the black could be too dark. if there was a space grey option i'd buy it without thinking

Too white? I don't think you see any white when looking at it. It's surrounded by a silver band, and the white is on the back. It's totally new for me, I have never had anything but black.
Btw, I just switched to 256. The heck, might as well.

it's 'WHITE like nothing else in the universe' white as far as i can tell from yt videos and posted pics. i doubt i have anything that much white in my house
see @ 3:55
p.s. 256 gb is a good choice
It is extremely white. Pure white. That's exactly what appeals to me. Not off-white. Not beige. Not cream. Not Stone or Greige. You need sunglasses for it.
