I never liked the gold, but I seriously considered the green before going with the silver, yet again. The green is really nice, and a new color for iPhones.


The triple cameras will make it clear, no matter the color.

I love the green! I wouldn't have ordered it if I didn't like it. NO WAY am I spending that much on a phone that I don't like the color of just to show off!

One was clearly lighting/reflections. The other one, hard to say - but it was also hard to believe that it got "scratched" there in the normal course of things. Looked more like someone took a nail clipper file or a bottle opener to it.

The gold does look a lot better this year, but I wont be getting it again.

Yeah I think I’m going to be sticking with darker or different colored iPhones going forward. After having gold and silver for so long, it got old quick.
 
I personaly myself bought a iPhone 11 Pro Max in Gold with 512 GB. I think its a lovely color and I'm coming from an iPhone SE. My friend got the XS last year in gold and i was instantly in love with it. I just guess people are buying the new green color cause they want to get seen with the new iPhones in their hands. Just unlucky when the theifs also sees it, ahah :D :p <3
Amen people really think they are gonna match their phone everyday lol most likely will be in a case anyways so definitely no point. I’ll keep my beautiful gold Xs Max no case with zero blemishes till I can :)
 
Perhaps gold isn't popular because it's more like skin tone and this year it'll be matte so even further away from the desired glossy rose or red gold.

I don’t mind that gold isn’t popular this year. Just means I’ll have a rarer colour, there’ll be so many midnight greens around

Haha I like that mentally. I’d totally get the gold if I had dark phones in the past. It’s still a really elegant color.

As I have told other posters, you need to search the forum. Another poster put up two photos showing it at the Apple Store. I believe it was in one of the threads asking what color iPhone 11 you are getting. Post #90
Bro, if you’re going to post that originally you should share it.
 
I went gold the first time it was available for the iPhone 5S, although they've tweaked it here and there since, I don't plan on going back. It looks a bit tacky imo.
 
It's hard to determine the popularity since we don't know how much of each color was ordered, but last year most of the iPhone advertisements were of the gold color so that may be why it seemed so popular last year vs this year. This year we have a new color that everyone wants.

I don't like the look of true gold so I usually stayed away from the gold iPhones. I got my first gold last year after always getting space gray and the only reason I went with the gold was because I saw how it looked it person and loved the pink and peach tones to it. I ordered gold again for the 11 pro and hoping it looks similar to last years. Waiting patiently for tomorrow with my clear case.
 
I originally ordered Midnight Green, as I absolutely LOVED it at launch, but MKBHD and quite a few others have mentioned that it looks more military green. Thus, I switched to gold, the color I had on my XS Max.

It looks like the new gold is kind of 5S-ish, which was my favorite gold aside from the 8, so I'll take it!
