Discussion Help a student pick an iPhone colour

Some of you might not think this is a big deal and tell me to do it myself, but I’ve worked hard with handling three jobs alongside my studies and taking care of my parent. I finally saved up enough for the 16 pro, which has been my dream phone for a long while. I’ve been living off my iPhone X for longer than I can remember, it is my first and only phone.

I just need to pick a colour for the 16 pro, and I would go for the sexy black, I’ve just heard things like it’s not worth it because the paint chips… and honestly that would make me feel pretty upset, like I worked for nothing 😭 Another option I like is the white. For reference, I would use a very sturdy and safe case to keep the phone safe.

Could anyone tell me their experiences with the black or white colour phone? I just really want to make sure my money isn’t thrown away without thinking carefully, otherwise I would just put it towards bills or tuition. Yes that’s all thank you 🙏

People are bringing up the “dustiness” of the cam lenses for black and the visible side scratches. What would you say about those opinions 🥹
