Anyone Choose Silver and why?

I would just get the cheaper one. I think for the 6 plus they charged a bit extra for the gold color
Don't know why I always went with black/space grey. Honestly it might just be because it stands out less than the other colors.
Though, I was disappointed on how light gray the iPhone 6's "space grey" was. The antennae bands didn't help either. I really wish it would have been like the Apple Watch's space grey.
I've made a decision that if the 7 has a darker color than the current space grey, I'll choose that. But, if it remains as light as the 6, I'll just go with the silver model to mix it up.

Every year, I've alternated between Black and White since my white 3GS. My S models are always White as like a poster above said, it helps the phone feel brand new every year. It will be interesting to see what the iPhone 7 looks like, as I could see sticking with Silver this time around.
Like another poster said above the Silver 5S was probably my favorite iPhone design ever.

I've chosen a silver iPhone before. It was The iPhone 4s. It's all up to you. Space grey has a black screen so I guess it rules out the option.
I tend to switch up colors when i change phones, because I like the variety. I had a gold 5s, a space gray 6, and I decided I wanted to go with a white bezel this time and decided to go back to silver, mostly because I like how clean it looks.
My thoughts:
- Space grey - sleek uniform look with black face and the antenna lines aren't pronounced.
- Silver - clean, classic most "Apple-like" look
- Gold - just a gorgeous look, rich and vibrant
- Rose Gold - same as gold, but with a more feminine touch (I'm not dissing guys for rocking it, it looks great for everyone, but the phone itself has a feminine look IMO)
DittoSilver is the one to get if you want a white bezel, but don't want the bling bling of the Gold or Rose Gold.
I had a Slate 5, Space 5s, Silver 6 and now a Silver 6s. I like the white front. Spacey grey is too light; I think thats dull.
I chose silver because it's clean looking. I no longer really care for dark colored phones. Plus the silver ring around the home button looks classy, gold is not bad but the gold ring around the home button causes an allusion and makes the white bezel look antique white because of a gold color. I don't like that. If you know what I'm talking about, the gold ring around the home button makes the white bezel look cream colored or off-white, and it does not appeal to me whatsoever. I had the space gray last year and to be honest with you, having a black phone for year got boring. And black is mostly somewhat of a depressing color.
