Unlike the white and black iPhone models, this color effects only the front of the iPad the back is always brushed aluminium. You can see both models illustrated in the image above. There are three core choices to make when purchasing an iPad:ฤก) "Which color: white or black?" For iPads, the color choice refers to the border (also called the bezel) around the front of the iPad.
