Color is one of the biggest distinctive of our iPhone, and we should treat it as such. With the new iPhones that went on sale today, Apple has renewed the colors of the iPhone 5s and introduced a new range of colors never seen before on an iPhone, those of the 5c.
The device that we are going to deal with in this post is the 5s, of which the only color that we can find in the previous model (iPhone 5) is silver, since Apple has introduced two new colors: color champagne and the color space gray, which happens to replace the previous and controversial black iPhone 5. If you are thinking of buying an iPhone 5s and you are not sure what color you should choose, these are some things you should keep in mind.
White is distracting
Both the gold-colored and the silver-colored iPhone have a white front panel, which makes it look much more noticeable than black when we look at the screen. Televisions are generally black for a reason: when we are watching a program, a movie or playing a video game, what we want is for the television to disappear to the perception of our eyes, to allow us focus absolutely in content. The color black helps this to happen more than the color white.
The same happens on the iPhone; There are people who are especially bothered by the white frame of the device when watching a movie or playing games. We must also take into account the contrast that does the screen off with the white phone. On the other hand, it is true that iOS 7 looks better on a white iPhone than a black iPhone.
Doubts about discoloration
There is a rumor running around that has gained quite a bit of strength: the discoloration of the white iPhone. When Apple delayed the launch of the white iPhone 4 it was said that it was because there were problems that with the passage of time and the incision of the sun on the device, it would lose its original white and turn yellowish.
This is totally untrue. To this day I still do not know of anyone who says that their iPhone is not so white Like the first day, so if this was your question, you can buy the white model without any fear.
Popularity
The black iPhone and all devices in general, sell more than their blank versions. It is the least daring of the three models and the one that stands out the least, perhaps that is why it likes it so much, it is simple and formal. As we know, the spectacular slate black of the iPhone 5 has been lost with the new 5s models, becoming a space gray, which I personally like a lot less. However, I am sure that this color will continue to be the best seller.
It is also true that there are many people who like the color white. White devices highlights much more than the black color, which is more camouflaged, leaving the accessories to be the protagonists. This is clearly seen in iPhones, in which the accessories that are included (lightning and earpods) are white regardless of the color of the device.
Regarding the golden color, there are people who believe that it is powerful and a sign associated with the prosperity, while others think it is presumptuous and tastelessness. None of that, it's just new. If you like it, it doesn't matter what other people say.
Wear
As we know, the edges and the back of iPhones are made of aluminum. In the silver model, it has not undergone any treatment to give it that color, while in the other models, it has. This will make them more likely to show scratches that they suffer under certain lighting conditions.
The previous black iPhone 5 has been withdrawn from the market for this reason, it was practically scratched with the eyes and the scratches were very noticeable, since under the black you could see the silver of the aluminum, making it infinitely more noticeable than in the white model. However, let's hope that in the new space gray it will be much less noticeable. If the thought of seeing your iPhone with scratches makes you sick, you should be shooting for the target.
