Gold for my wife. White for my daughter and gray for me. They all look awesome.

I'm a tech junkie ( 3 iPads and 2 Nexi at home) so I checked out the new Android phones at the Sprint store while getting my iPhones. The LG2 actually looks cool except for the backside buttons. I was surprised at what a piece of junk the new Nexus 5 felt like.

Nothing comes close to any of the iPhones though. Both my wife and daughter converted from Android and love their 5s's.
 
I like silver the most, but I got gold for resale value...

It's kind of nice actually. I got a clear case with blue edges. I've got a blue Squirtle home screen wallpaper, and a pikachu lock screen to match the gold :)
 
I'm getting a space grey next month. I thought I would get the new gold colour one, but it's not that great at the store. Silver is exactly like the 5 ( which I had used for 3 months), so it's a bit stale to me.
 
Gold

I managed to get a gold on release date. The trick is to find the smallest apple store in your area then go about two hours early.mit worked for me
 
I would feel uncomfortable with the Gold version because it has a more limited edition feel to it.

Silver scares me because the Touch ID silver ring looks like it might chip away.

So I had to go with Space Gray.
 
^ im rocking the gold naked. I didnt remove the back and plastic covering just cut out the bottom part.

Gonna keep it that way until i find a transparent case
 
This time around I looked over the 3 options for my purchase of the iPhone 5s.

I chose black/slate for my iPhone 5 and pondered over if another colour would catch my eye this time around.

Bought the Space/Grey ! Lol.

Once a specialist asked me why I had chosen black/slate. My reply was I tend to opt for the darker colours.

His reply : If Batman chose an iPhone he would go for black/slate too.

I made my exit ! :rolleyes:
 
I just purchased the Space Gray because I prefer a black bezel. A white bezel is too distracting when looking at the screen for me.
 
It's weird. Everyone says space gray is the most popular. But in real life I see gold being the most popular.
 
Gold here and love it, got my sister the Space Gray.

Silly comments in this thread, gold is for chavs and girls etc, never thought colour was gender specific!

I love the white/ silver model. Switched from a black iPhone 4 and can honestly say I love it. It looks and feels very elegant.
 
I was pretty set on getting gold until I saw it in person. Ended up going with black and I couldn't be happier! Love the grey on the sides and back.
 
silver

- was afraid after scuff-gate on my old iPhone 5 black
- silver / white suits better to iOS7 to my mind
- I am not playing any movies oder games on my iPhone at all. Most of the apps are rather bright / grey then black. So the white front suits better to it and makes the display appear bigger
 
Just got the silver one, it's beautiful; my previous iPhones had all been black so I was tired of it and I'm not a fan of golden, silver one is just perfect
 
Finally got my space grey after waiting for about a month. Love it. unlike the poster above I would´ve liked the ring around the touch id to match the space grey .
 
5s color

If I'm going to buy it I want to see it in all colors live.
I've seen only white/silver and I love it but I already have a white colored phone (sgs3) and I'm not sure if I want to continue choosing white one again.
Thought I feel like the phone is lost in my bag if I choose black one:p
At the moment white /gold is most interesting.

Well, I already had a white iPhone last year, so I knew I wasn't getting that one. Then I just had to decide between Gold or Gray.

I went with the Gray because it's a black iPhone, yet it still has the reflective Apple logo on the back. It's classy without being too "glitzy."
 
My wife and I each purchased a space grey, 32GB model this past weekend. The phones were immediately encased in Otterbox Defender cases - black with lime green accents for my wife's and all black for mine.
