Black/Gold iPhone 5S

[juanrp]

I have been reading threads from a long time ago (September 2013ish)
about what color iPhone 5S is more popular within MR.

I did see a lot of space gray (that's the most obvious one)
Silver every once in a while
and a lot of hate on gold.

Many people have been saying that it's tacky because it is white/gold, and that it would look better as black/gold.

I took some time to edit the black panels from the space gray into a white/gold phone.

I definitely think it looks about the same as how I look at the white/gold. (It's okay)

What do you guys think?

I like the black/gold version way better than the white/gold one.

 

[Señor]

It looks better to me.

Black and gold looks far more gaudy than silver and gold to these eyes, like a Rolex phone.

 

[LSUtigers03]

I would get it if it was available.

If its Gold its tacky. Doesn't matter if it's white/gold or black/gold.

Still looks ugly. Even the white/silver looks terrible to me.

i used to love the white gold. then i got over the gold pretty quickly.
then i loved the white silver due to its simplicity and plainness
then i started disliking the fact that the proximity sensor and the camera are so apparent on the white face

then i started obsessing over the Leica M9 and started loving the black, grey painted metal combination

so now i think the space grey is the best combo


lesson learnt: they're all good

Looks ok, just not my taste. Glad they didn't go with something like this,

NOW that is tacky.

 

[aPple nErd]

i think white/gold is better still.

 

[AFDoc]

IMHO black/gold is fugly.

That looks very nice.

I personally like the gold because it's really subtle and in the right light, it looks silver. (it's almost like black with a white/silver aluminum.

Gold is just too hard to pull off imo.

Looks nice!

Gold and Black is a great combo.

 

[arctic]

Ewwww. This would look fine when it's new with its 'honeymoon phase'. But I can imagine finding that in my drawer four years from now.

I prefer the current Gold 5s, it's more subtle. The black seems too loud.
