This thread is getting me excited for all the release day drama about pink vs copper. My theory is that we still won't know even after its released. People have different eyes and different conditions and this phone will look slightly different to everyone.

Give it about a year for many of them (especially male members) to pop out of their deep denial as to their actual perceived color. They'll be just like the 6 Plus to 6s switchers, finally admitting that the 6 Plus is annoyingly big and at times uncomfortable to use (or in this case, the rose gold iPhone being too pink for their taste). Female owners are less likely to be affected though, judging from the many happy responses in this thread.

Oh yeah, the second a new color comes out in the 7, these "copper" phone owners are jumping ship. guarantee. But hey, it is a huge purchase. I get why they don't want people to question it.

That's a good explanation. There are a few members who are convinced that the rose gold aluminum AW isn't the same hue as the rose gold iPhone, but this seems unlikely to be the case. More likely, it's just the difference in how the light is reflected, as you pointed out. Under some conditions, the rose gold aluminum AW can look more pink like below:

And here's what it looks like with the stone band in the white packaging.

I think their's going to be a lot of returned "rose gold" 6s's. Good, perhaps my wife won't have to wait to long to get hers.

Had they made it just like actual rose gold, it would be to close to their own gold colour. Figures it would be more pink and less gold.

I´ve been rocking the pink iPhone 5c for about 2 years now and I'm a straight guy, 6.2", 220lb..
Pink is awesome, stop being color phobic :)

You've been rocking a salmon iPhone. You'd feel far different and do a 180 if you were to rock the following:

That said, I think any guy should be able to pull off the rose gold aluminum AWS because it's at least not a feminine pink color like the above.
