I went with black. Will do a black leather case (hello Apple...you there??) and I also do a plain solid black background. I need to keep it semi-professional looking so the bold colors don't work.

While I am not getting one until I have seen them in the flesh, I do like the look of the blue one. Just would make a change from the Silver iPhones I have along with the Silver MacBook, Silver iPad, Aluminium Apple Watch ... Oh. It won't match. Xs then! :D

Changed my mind from Coral to Red. It's a shame Apple doesn't know what color coral really is. After several attempts to trade my 6S+ on TMOB site,I called and they ordered for me.

White for me also. 128GB
That’s exactly what I got it.

I think it’s not as popular since it’s more of a baby blue rather than a navy or royal blue which would sell much better. I think black, red and coral will be the hot colors of choice.
Oh man, if it was royal blue it would have been a no brained for me. Went with white instead.

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).

I'm still struggling with whether or not to order one, but if I do, I'm getting the white so the silver aluminum will match my watch. I saw you were struggling with that same thing above, and I beat myself up over decisions like this too!

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!!

You worry too much. I'd go for the white if I were you. I think the black adds to the bezel because opticalliy the black border will include part of the frame, whereas on the white there's a clear ending of the screenborder with a subtle white line. This night not matter if you put a non-transparant case on it that covers the borders a bit. But in that scenario, any colour is fine:cool:

Ordered two white (one 128gb & one 256gb)
Personally I like the red but these are for my kids, not me. I have the 256gb Max and it's great. Hopefully the screen & camera are good on the Xr, that's my only concern

I’m pretty sure I’m going with white. I’m tempted by red and coral but I fear I’ll grow tired of having a color, particularly the coral. I’d like to see them in a store next week before I order though.

I always use a case so the color doesn’t really matter. I’m totally overthinking it.

I’m coming from a 6S too. Hope the phone isn’t too giant. I know it’s smaller than the max but still. I did 64GB black. I take loads of pics and still have 24gb free on my 6S.

I need to see it in real life, mainly to decide if it's too big (I'm currently using a 6S), but based on those video adverts (sorry, reviews) it's either red or white.

I can not choose a color. I really was intrigued with coral, but every YouTube video I looked at the phone looks more orange than anything which is a no from me. I guess I’m leaning towards yellow. I really wish the blue would have been navy.

I almost did the same thing. I was going to order the blue but decided that white would suit me better. If it was a more royal blue then no questions asked.

From seeing the AT&T ads today on TV,the coral indeed looks orange as did the photos I saw. Like I said earlier,I wish Apple knew what color coral really is. If it was coral,I would have got it but settled on red.

Black for me since it’s actually pure black, like the iPhone 7, not space gray. Almost did red but I feel like I’d get sick of it after a few months. Black will look great with any case......if apple ever announces their own cases for it.

I do think the red and coral will be the most popular though. They look great.
