Of course it's a girls colour. Who's denying that? People generally take the mickey just to gain validation from the regular crowd. I.e banter mentality.
There was a thread slagging silver phones off the other day, and I have one. No biggie! Anyway, it's just funny that men are trying to convince themselves and others that their rose gold iPhone isn't pink. It is. OK so it's
not fluorescent pink, or Barbie pink but it's most definitely Apple's 'classy' interpretation of pink. If you wanted a pink phone then that's absolutely fine but don't try and convince people that it's copper-coloured.
I've had the for over a week now and the phone is pink. When the light hits it looks coppery and pinkish looking rose gold.
I spent a full 10 months slagging off the 6+ so I hardly think I was looking for brownie points around these parts...
I remember when this kind of discussion was all about whether getting a white iPhone was girly or less than professional looking. I guess that we've mostly accepted guys having a white iPhone.
Yep, and my Space Grey looks aqua blue to me, so I'm sticking with that!
You know if Apple just called this phone color Copper and Graphite rather than Rose Gold and Space Gray respectively (to equate it with the other element and metal colors: Gold, Silver, Copper and Graphite), men wouldn't be too obnoxious about the color since Apple calls it Copper which doesn't sound as feminine as Rose Gold.
I was rocking a gold 6s Plus the last few weeks and actually managed to snag a Rose Gold one last night so the gold one is going back today. Definitely digging my pink iPhone.
Here's another image of my Rose Gold 6s. Doesn't seem as pink, right? As said before, and as many others have said: it's all about lighting. Anyway, I love the color.

Now the rose gold makes even the silver/white look manly.I remember when this kind of discussion was all about whether getting a white iPhone was girly or less than professional looking. I guess that we've mostly accepted guys having a white iPhone.
Just picked up a massive pink 128GB 6s plus.

Wow you had to edit your post. Having a 49ers bag doesn't mean you are from or in San Francisco.
In my day pink would have gotten you called out as a Communist sympathizer.
The the USSR collapsed and nobody cared anymore.

Yes, that's definitely a common theme. I'm leaning towards a RG iPhone, but the decision would be so much easier if it had a black face on it. Maybe next year...
LOL!

It's definitely a keeper. 6s Plus. I put it in a beautiful Vaja Wallet Agenda in Pincone/London and it looks perfect.

I always thought that discussion was silly though because white is such a neutral color in general. Pink, on the other hand, is clearly associated with females more often than not. that's not to say men can't wear pink, but other than pink clothing, I actually struggle to think of an instance where men (even so called "manly" men) would use a pink anything.
The whole notion of rendering judgment on someone on account of the color they choose for their iPhone is ridiculous, if you ask me. This is America...choose whatever one you want!
Also, I don't subscribe to the notion of certain colors predominantly "belonging" to one class (in this case, gender) of person. If you like a color, go for it. There are plenty of truly important issues to worry about in the world in which we exist. Suffice to say, phone color is not one of them. And I don't say this to chide anyone who asked for opinions related to the idea of men having a Rose Gold iPhone, by the way. Everyone can use a little reassurance every now and then, for one thing or another.
