iPad Air 2 - colour

I'm looking to buy an iPad Air 2 from Jl while they have the 3 year guarantee offer. My iPad here has a black surround. I quite fancy the gold back with the White front border. Just wondering though if photo's etc look better with the grey front. Any comments? Many thanks.

    I'm not sure whether you're asking if it looks better when you take a photo of it with a certain coloured front, or whether it TAKES better photos if it's a different colour? Because it has the same camera no matter the colour, so the quality of the photos it takes shouldn't be affected.

    If you prefer the look of the gold one, then go for it. Once it's inside a cover, won't make too much difference anyway.

    Sorry it wasn't very clear :(. What I meant was does a white front surround make the pictures stand out as much as the black one, which makes them look as though they have a frame around.

    As for the quality of the pictures they can't be any worse than they are on the current iPad 2 as since the update before last they have been very grainy. Whereas the rest of my pictures I've taken since the purchase 3 years ago were always really good.

    As Ann_Marie has pointed out once inside the cover it won't make any difference. :)

    Currently JL have a cover at half price if you buy the iPad Air 2, which looks a good deal. I have three covers for current iPad and none of them fit the Air 2 as it is much thinner - and lighter!

    Thanks for your help:).

    Have an older black/grey iPad and the newer gold one - photos look much the same to me regardless of the "framing"! Hoth!

    Many thanks. OH has ordered the gold for me. Said I should have a different colour if I so desperately want a new one! Lol. My grey one is going to DIL as her mini has been " taken" by little 3 year old! :)
