Did I make the right choice getting the iPhone 7 Plus in Gold?

Okay, so I'm usually a stressed out person and this is my first time getting an iPhone. So, I've usually had black phones but I like gold so I ordered the gold iPhone 7 Plus. Will the white border around the screen be distracting? I'm really worried I made the wrong choice.

You made a great choice. I'm not lucky enough to have an iPhone, but if I did, that would be the one. Wait till you get it and people will look at you enviously. Enjoy.

You will never be happy with ANY choice you make. You will always second guess yourself. A phone is merely a tool. It has no significance beyond that. Don't start drinking the Apple Kool Aid, or you will be miserable for the rest of your life.

I got the same color - not the Plus, but the iPhone 7. I don't even notice the border.

Don't worry about it. Sensible people protect their phones with a case anyway so you won't see much of the colour choice you made.

Also, for many webpages (such as this one) you're reading text on a white screen background. A white bezel around the screen just makes the screen look a bit larger, it's certainly not distracting.

All I can tell you is that you wasted your money

If you love it, and really really love it then keep it. If not, then exchange it. But it sounds very nice to me.
