White vs Black front

I have always gone black. I like how the black makes it look like there is no bezel. For me what would be really cool would be a gold body with black front.

I have always gotten dark/black phones with the exception of the iPhone 6 (gold). I liked it at first, then I got tired of the white border as well as the phone being flashy. I like my devices to look sleek and blend in. Plus having a black border is more immersive than having a white border - its too detracting from what you're trying to focus on the screen.
Black all the way.

You are so right . It's thin black line

i have the rose gold 7+ ive never had a black iphone before. but i do think this years new black colors are sexy! but i still dont like how you see fingerprints and smudges way more on the black face. and i just love how sexy and smooth the white front looks and that rose gold is just really nice! but i think for next years iphone, im trying the black!
This lady's next iPhone will be black.
And judging product color by gender? That's a new one...
There's always one person stuck in the 1800's.
I have been been trying different colours (usully the newest one) since my first iPhone (the 5).. and the front has been whatever the chosen back colour comes with (see below):
- iPhone 5 - silver back/white front
- iPhone 5s - champagne gold back/white front
- iPhone 6 - space grey back/black front
- iPhone 6s - rose gold back/white front
- iPhone 7 - black back/black front
Oh come on man, it's just a light hearted quip. People on this internet are so serious all the time.
It seems opinions on this issue are either black or white.
I went white front last year for the first time ever. Never again. Back to black now and very happy.
I chose black because of the infinity bezel on the front when the phone is off. It just looks sleek. I also like the fact that when i'm viewing content on the black bezel front that the bezels tend to disappear. I like white too but not for the long term so I stay with the black.
When the screen is turned off: BLACK
When the screen is turned on: WHITE
And as I mostly have it in my pocket when the screen is on, white it is for me. As almost everything in iOS is so white, I don't like the black front anymore. I think the white front matches the OS much better.

Prefer the black. I wanted to give white a shot so I went with a gold iPad Pro (now for sale). I just don't like the look of the white, looks cheap to me. Plus Apple finally came out with the matte black iPhone I've always wanted. Had to go with it.
I use to hate white bezels with a passion. But now I love white bezels and black bezels tend to put strain on my eyes now. I do a lot of reading and browsing and I find white or light colored bezels less harsh on my eyes and makes the screen easier to read.
