Anyone disliking their Space Grey 5S

[krspkbl]

The space grey is my favourite of the 5S colours.

The silver/white is nice but I had a white 4S for 2 years. Need to go back to black

I really liked the slate black colour of the 5 and wasn't sure of Space grey at first but after seeing it in person it looks really smart.

I, like others, were only given the option to select Space Grey in most stores. I've had the white iPhone 4S and it became my favorite color for my iDevices. So I was devistated that they only had Space Grey. Its already past the 14 days that i could return the phone (tried to 1 day after the 14 days, the fault was on me)

Anyone else not a fan of their Space Grey.

Devastated? You need a life, because you have no concept of actual reality.

Relax. He is just sharing his phone colour preference. This is the internet, a place where people are welcome to talk and share about their feelings and opinions on anything.

Nice try troll.

Love my Space Gray! I liked the White iPhone 5 but the gray really compliments the black on the 5s.

 

[Triangle Man]

Nope. Love mine. I also love my Space Gray iPad mini.

I vastly prefer the black/slate color of the 5 but of the three choices available the space grey is by far my favorite. I tried the silver 5 for a couple of days because I had always had black but I wasn't able to get used to a white face.

To be honest, I think if my girlfriend hadn't wrecked my 5 within a week of me passing it to her I would have returned my 5s and stuck with that.

When I wanted a particular model of an iphone that wasn't yet available, I used my ancient Motorola Razr for about a month or two until the model I wanted was readily available. Then I bought what I wanted.

Patience is a virtue that is lacking around these parts.

Space grey makes life suck. Lololol

I got the same thing from the wording. We have a vast language, with multiple adjectives. The word "Devastated" is very specific in this context, and he got the reaction he deserved.

Keeping one foot planted in reality doesn't make one a troll.....

Agreed, however does it really need to be highlighted or scrutinated that closely? Thus, the reaction too got the reaction it deserved.

Going back to the topic, while I love the jet black look of the iPhone 5, I don't like so much the Space Grey 5S simply because the edge trim is not black but a grey-silver. Really makes the device look tri-tone which I don't like as much as the two-tone white-silver.

I never payed any attention to the white ones. My default purchase was always black.

Since my wife bought the silver 5s, I've been kind of eying it. My wife won't swap...

I originally ordered a silver and white on launch day and when it arrived I liked it *enough* but I forgot how much I disliked the visible black border around the outside of the screen, I just find it so unappealing when contrasted against the bright white. It didn't help that this particular unit had a few problems from the start (top left corner of screen would pop when pressed, extra loose power button) so instead of getting a warranty replacement through Apple, I returned it and then got a space gray model. I love it! It may look quite similar from the front to my old 5 but I'm much more content with the seamless look and find that the contrast between gray and black backing reminds me of the old iPhone 2G days which I adore. Space gray all the way!

 

[Solitude1984]

I had planned on trying the black because I loved the look of the slate on the 5. When they revealed the 5s in "space grey" I was quite disappointed. Then I saw the gold and fell in love. I could have gotten a space grey on launch day since that was the only phone that was around after the first 5 minutes (or less) but I decided that if I was going to spend $1000 on a phone, I would absolutely not settle. I couldn't be happier.

 

[jassco2]

Agreed. I wasn't too keen on grey, but loved the black 5. The neo hybrid case I have gives me the black back on the 5s I wanted while keeping the stock profile intact. It worked for me. I always wondered if being unhappy with a color was worth not using a quality ultra slim case. Nothing beats the uncased iPhone beauty, but looking at it daily and being unhappy with it doesn't seem worth it to me. It's better then having curved phone envy I suppose.....

Been around here longer than you have, nice try, you're the actual troll. Lighten up, Frances. Oh, remember too... this is the internet, a place where people are welcome to talk and share about their feelings and opinions on anything. I did just that.

Did the same thing. I had the Space Gray for exactly 14 days and I swapped it out for a Silver one. I hated the fingerprints and scuffs that show on the black one. Plus I think the silver ring looks awesome on the white

Haha I thought I was the only one.

That's the exact thing I did. I had a white 4S, got space gray to change it up and then took it back after 13 days to get silver because the fingerprints were annoying the hell out of me. They would constantly show on the home button area and I was constantly wiping it. Got silver and glad I did.

I didn't dislike the color though. Space gray was honestly impressive looking and I was sad to let it go, but I guess I just prefer the white face and like the fact that it doesn't show prints. And like you said I love the home button on the silver. White with the shiny ring around it looks awesome.

Space gray is much more durable than my slate 5 was.

The Slate, while beautiful, showed nicks in the bezel almost immediately. My Space gray still looks perfect.

Very Happy

 

[GALAGA]

Love it

love my space gray, reason why is all my devices are all black and gray/silver. My wifes idevices are the white ones so its a his/her

 

[Jason1978]

I love it. What was I thinking with the silver? Lol no the silver is pretty snazzy but this one suits me better now I want to buy a good protective clear case to show it off. I find most of them are flimsy.

 

[*~Kim~*]

I dislike that Apple is making a color the focus instead of doing the work to build a significant new phone.

Enough of these warmed over models.

Fat and happy is Apple's weakness.

It's an S update though, so I think it was significant enough with the speed increase, camera upgrade and touch ID. And 64 bit, although it does seem like a bit of a gimmick and not really usable at the moment.

 

[Badrottie]

I have had black iPhone since 3G, 3GS, and 4S now time to switch to gold.

 

[R.Stoychev]

The space gray color is awesome, I hope they keep the color in 6 gen iphone

 

[jr866gooner]

Care to share some pics guys? Keen to see this colour! I failed to see it when I was upgrading at the apple store, my colleague bought the gold and that does look ok. I would expect the grey to look much better!
