I know the new iPhone 6 and 9.7 pro have a much lighter space grey.

I loved the original darker grey of the 5s and the iPad mini. They looked great together.

My question is, is the Air 2 the new lighter space grey or the darker one to match the 5S?

Yes I know its an anal question but I need thinks to match, part of my OCD. :eek:

Its the lighter one. I know it certainly because I have the same OCD lol. I even sold my silver iPhone just to get the same one but Space Gray to match my iPad and Watch xD

The AIR 2 is the same as the 6? it looks darker on pictures. I need to visit an apple store to investigate this. My plan was to use my old 5S and Air 2 when I travel. If the air 2 is lighter this will annoy me like crazy! lol Then again it would be in a keyboard case. 1st world problems huh?

Also the space grey watch, which I'm wearing in space grey, is darker than any space grey I have seen.

The iPad mini 2 is close to the watch. When I had the iPad mini 2 and 5s it was a great combination.

Oh lord my brain hurts, i think I need to get a life, this is tragic lol
 
Apple needs to double down on space gray consistency. Literally every device that they released with it has a different tone to it.

Whats worse is that the image they use on their site is basically the exact same since they first made space gray even though it looks a lot different now.
 
Just call the lighter ones Space Silver, and the darker ones Space Gray, so we know which it is!
 
My iPad Air 2 is exactly the same color as my iPhone 6s, that's what I mean. However, Apple Watch is way darker, I HATE that.
