Sorry for the comment, but many of us grow weary of seeing the SAME threads repeated when there is NO reason not to join an existing thread. It really makes no sense, but at least you haven't created another *gate thread. Thanks for that!

Gold 128GB. Same for my iPad Air 2.

To be fair, I haven't seen a thread the specifically targeted at guys. I could have searched other threads but in this case I'm not interested in what the ladies are using.
 
I've always gotten black iDevices, so I ordered the space grey 6+ without seeing the phones in person. When I opened the box, I was underwhelmed. The "space grey" is more like dingy silver, far too light to go well with the black front. The space grey on the 5S/iPad Air looked a lot better.

Despite this, I was content to stick with the phone until I saw a gold one. It looked like the white front of the phone just melted into the gold back. It was beautiful, totally unlike the mismatched black/space grey. I also saw a silver and liked how sleek it looked, as the silver seemed to be almost whitish in the right light.

When I upgraded my iPad to the Air 2, I decided to go for a silver one instead of a space grey despite the conventional wisdom that black is better for watching videos, and I don't think I could ever go back to black again. I love that the white bezels don't show fingerprints, and I think the white just looks a lot snappier than the black.

I ended up getting a gold 6 Plus as a result and will be selling the black one. I like that I've now got a silver/gold thing going with my iPad and iPhone, and I'm quite happy with both devices.
 
Space grey - though I do like the silver a bit more. SG is a bit more inconspicuous however, and I don't especially like to draw attention to the phone I'm using.
 
Originally ordered a SG Plus because it looks cleaner and better. BUT I got a Gold plus because its all the store had in stock. Happy with my Gold, but the next one will be black.
 
Got the silver, returned it and got the space grey. I didn't like the big white band across the top and bottom. Now when my phone is sleeping it is one big black screen. If they had redesigned to minimize the top and bottom like the LG G3 with the same size 5.5 screen but less overhang on top and bottom then I would have stayed with the silver. Oh well.
 
Space grey 6. Going to get an iPad Air 2 not sure what color. Also considering getting the gold 6 and selling my space grey. But I'm thinking the white face plate will get boring. I hate smudges etc that's part of the reason I'm considering the switch.
 
I've gotten white/silver since the 4, so I stuck with tradition. I wouldn't mind gold either, but maybe I'll save that when the 6s is released.
 
Space grey is ugly.
Well, actually the space grey part (back) looks nice,but I hate the black front.

The gold doesn't look nice on either 6 or 6 + (looked amazing on 5s though)

The white/silver variant looks the best.
 
Silver 6+ here, its my first non black/space grey iPhone and I really like it.
 
Silver 6 and I love it! I've always had black iPhones going back to 2007. It was time to change things ups. Needed a fresh look. In general I really like the aesthetics of silver and white together, especially in tech devices. I think all the colors look good though.

Same! Always had black. I had this idea to get silver and add on a navy blue incipio case - mind blown, it looks incredible!
 
Gold 6+ so it matches my white mini and 5s gold that I will use as iPod and extra phone. Had all previous blackberries then iphone 4 and 5 in black. Don't forget that razor phone years ago. Now I'm all into white.
 
Got the 6 plus Gold 128 GB. Always had black and wanted a change. I really like the white/gold combination. The clear case makes it look really beautiful.

I hope they never come up with a black front/gold back phone. It would look too 80's tacky in my opinion! But to each their own;)
 
I'm surprised to see the gold is more popular among guys than the silver. I see even less gold in the wild that I do silver.
 
I got space gray. Space gray looks great naked, but I put mine in Apple's blue leather case and now the whole ensemble is a boring dark monotone. I wish I had gotten the silver now, oh well.
 
If a guy buys anything but black then that means black was sold out. Or he is buying it for his girlfriend:) Guys just look wrong with white iphones.
