I have a black/space gray iphone 5S, a white ipad 4 and a MacBook Pro. It all looks fine to me, I just went with what I preferred for each device individually. Do what you want for each device because you don't want to blow money on something you aren't satisfied with
 
Depends on what country you're from. ;)
True! But at the time I was being called out because I was too thick-headed to understand that gray is actually black and NOT gray and anyone with any common sense knows that. So, I was trying to cover my bases, lest I be accused even further of being too stupid to use the correct spelling. ;)

OP - I'd get the Space Gray/Black one. I personally think the white/gold ones are ugly, and I dislike the white border on the screen when I'm watching a video or looking at a dark webpage.

OK. Silver then.

According to Apple: Gold, silver or space gray. You may want to consider space gray black and you may assume that space gray is black.

Put a space gray 5s that you call black next to a black iPhone 5 and you will see a difference. Space gray may have the black front, but the finish is most assuredly, not black.

My opinion and whatever you or anyone else wants to think or accept as understood is fine. But as for me, space gray is gray. Not black. Sorry.

iPhone 5 black on the left, iPhone 5s space gray on the right.

And if the correct term is grey and not gray then you got me. Sorry. :)

Sorry for the tread jack. Both the black and gold iPhones look awesome. The space gray offsets the black screen really well and the gold is so new I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Get the space gray. I tried to go with white to change it up but I hated the white border around the screen. The 5s with the black front and discreet touch ID sensor is so stealthy.

If you like the gold then definitely get it. I have Space Gray and it's boring compared to black and slate 5.

Space Gray or black and slate? Space Gray itself is a nice color but I think it clashes too much with the black top and bottom. I prefer solid Space Gray like on the iPad and the more stealthy black and slate.

But if you like the gold then get it.

When you think about it, the black = gray is about as accurate as the gold = gold.

Both Apple's incarnations are a pale shade of the color they represent.

That's the best part about Gold. Subtle and not blingy.

What's wrong with Project RED?

Now that would be amazing!

heres a pic of my setup before i sold my iphone 5 lol

Better toss that time capsule and magic mouse as they don't match at all with the rest of your setup.

Just kidding. They'll go well with the gold 5s.

YEah, their all nice, im just a stickler for matching stuff together.

NOT OCD extent but who doesnt like a few similar products to match lol
 
I have a 13" rMBP and a "space grey" retina Mini, and if I was in the market for an iPhone 5s I would go for the gold one without hesitation. It's by far the nicest of the three colours.

I would get the RED in a heartbeat! Not only does some of the proceeds go towards a great cause but it would just look absolutely stunning! I mean c'mon look at the red iPod touch

The gold back on the iPhone is light and silvery enough that it's actually a closer match for the light aluminum of the MacBook than the darker Space Grey.

The white front has a small enough footprint that it wouldn't noticeably clash, either.

in my setup pic, do u think the black iphone matches better? face front of course lol
 
Get the color you like. Stop giving a **** if it matches or not. You'll regret not getting the color you wanted later down the line. What are you gonna keep your iphone at your desk and state at it from afar that it needs to match? If you like gold get gold.

It really doesn't like like that from your setup, and you realize that your computer isn't black, right?
 
Well yes, in the same way all cars are black because the tires are.

would u get to match or get gold in your opinon
 
get what you'd like. the space grey, gold and silver are all nice and all will flow well with what you have on your desk.

besides, it's on your desk. is anyone going to care that everything matches or doesn't match on the desk?

Unless you have a Space Gray iPad mini and Retina MacBook also in Space Gray, you won't have three matching devices in the usual sense.

If you so desire, you can paint the apple on time capsule and magic mouse the same champagne color as Gold 5s :cool:
