I never liked the gold, and not just for electronics, but other stuff such as gold paint on cars, or polished brass fixtures in bathrooms.

It just looks tacky to me.
 
Only you can decide what you like and what not. Only you can decide what colours you like. What others do should not really matter.

If you have to ask maybe wait until the product has launched, check one out then and decide. There will be plenty stock after a few weeks - just like last year.
 
Is the 8Plus gold variants the same? wish a youtuber did that comparison yesterday.

Gold Max for me! I have the silver X, and the gold looks cool. I like changing it up. I think black & gold is a good look with sports franchises (Saints, Bruins, etc). If I don't like it within 2 weeks, I'll exchange it.
 
Well I hate gold bathroom fixtures, too. But since we are talking about the new iPhones, I think the gold paired with a nice brown or black leather case is especially classy, elegant and masculine. It’s a great look for any guy.
 
It was great until she said Rose Gold.
There’s a hint of copper to it from what I can see. It doesn’t look pink and rose can be an unfortunate term for a very nice color men would still like.

Justine was pretty against the really blush-y pink looking model that was leaked last year. If this was like that she probably would have spoken up about it. She was almost certain that other gold version was going to be released and she didn’t hide her dislike for it.

I think probably it’s more subdued coppery gold than a Chinese Restaurant Yellow gold dragon kind of gold that can look almost Gatorade yellow. THAT kind of gold...do...not...want!
 
If you are a guy, DON't get the GOLD! It's girly and people will stare and laugh. The will look at you and then turn their head and snicker! They will tell the person next to them, "Look, that guy has a gaudy girl's phone!"
(I am saying this so there will be less gold phones in demand and I'll be sure to get mine)
LOL!
Of course it's okay.
I know plenty of guys who are ordering one.
