Never owned a gold iPhone before. I’m going for it and the gold Watch with the Milanese loop this time around. Can’t wait.

Definitely going for the gold Max here, and I'm a guy. I've never bought a gold Apple anything before, mainly because the pinkishness did look a little feminine for my tastes, and I didn't want a white front.

This version of gold looks amazing, and it's gender neutral. It's mine!

Well first of all, Thanks to everyone for being nice about this post! I knew I was gonna get some backlash, but yall were very nice about it and joked around! it's true though, I shouldn't pay attention to what people may think and get what I really want.

Close up video of the Gold Xx Max!
Never guess who shows up at the end of the video!:)

After watching this video, I really dont know what to do. I REALLY like that Gold, but I'm concerned that the gold will peel off. I dont know what to do. I'm already pre-approved for the Silver iPhone Xs Max.
 
Gold? Of course not! If you favour that particular wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum, males will not take you seriously as competition or as an alpha figure, and females will see you as a less virile and unappealing as a potential mate!
 
I’m a guy and I’ve gone Space Grey for every iteration since the 5s.

I like it, but it’s honestly getting a little dull. I selected Space Grey out of habit during pre-approval, but now entertaining the gold.......

I think Auric Goldfinger, Francisco Scaramanga and Mr. T are Super, Super Alphas. They love gold!

won't the gold coated gets peeled off at some times? like previous incident with ipx last year SP ?
 
I’m still on the fence if I want to upgrade yet. However, if I do I will definitely pick up the Gold version. Gold always looks good on the iPhone so it’s been my go to this past few years.
 
I think Gold has always looked a bit tacky on any iOS device. Not girly, just tacky.

I thought we had moved on from this discussion a while ago...

Anyway, this thread reminds me of this (hilarious) collegehumor video:


 
Space Gray for better opportunity on getting a launch day delivery. However I am not certain it will be that simple.
