I hate the Space Grey 5S

I have an iPhone5 in black, and it's in out-of-the-box pristine condition using the Sena Ultra Slim case below. Adds no weight or thickness, allows naked use, and protects the finish.
From experience I kinda knew that anodised metal is a bad idea, and that's why I got a white and silver iPhone. You've learned the hard way to steer clear from these finishes in future, or to baby your phone and use a case etc.
I disagree. Apple products have made 'white' a fashionable colour and it is unisex. How many more white cars do we see these days? Over the past few years white cars have become the most popular colour.
A pink or sky blue phone is feminine.
If I saw a man driving a white car I would assume it belongs to his missus or he swings "that way" if you know what I mean
Like what, keys? There are few phones on the market that will look good after months in a pocket with something else.
I dislike the Space Grey but not because of scratching or anything but rather because it's ugly compared to the Silver and Gold 5S. The Black/Slate 5 was such an amazing looking device and Apple chose to follow it up with Space Grey instead. Made my decision to get the gold a pretty easy one.
Keys can mess up Silver and Gold too. Always have a dedicated pocket for your device.
That may be your opinion and that's fine.
But I wear white socks, my car is white, my skin is white, the walls in my apartment are white, one of my hat's is white.
Does all that also indicate that I am feminine?
Hardly any difference between that and Space Gray. Space Gray looks silver unless it's next to Silver.
Also there's some variance in Space Gray. Some look lighter and some are darker. The lighter ones are nearly the same color as the original iPhone.
Oh, Lordy...are we going through this color-is-gender-specific nonsense again!?
Let me put this in my usual subtle, understated, and and indirect manner...the whole business of color being gender specific is total horse crap.
I hope that wasn't too subtle...
I find black and grey to be really dull these days. Boring. Devices have been grey and black for years and I'm really glad that I bought a white i5. I have never regretted it (*the colour) and will get a white i6 if the option is there.
I don't get this. The first iPod was white only, and I didn't see men refusing to buy it. In fact, the first black iPod came 4 years later!
What? That's ridiculous. I don't like white iPhones (or tablets for that matter) because I find the bright white distracting, but assigning a gender (or sexual orientation) to a color is silly.
I think that the white iPhones look great, actually, I just can't stand the bright white around my screen so I avoid them.
