It has everything to do with whether you will like it but somehow I think after a short time most won't.

To be honest, I thought I might get tired of my screaming hot pink Moto X. But I didn't. Still love it. Still gonna love it after I retire it on Friday.

So I'm not worried about my upcoming rose gold iPhone.
 
For those who have seen the Rose gold dock, is it pink like Breast Cancer Awarness pink? Or like Rueben Sandwhich on Rye bread pink ?
It's definitely not Breast Cancer Awareness pink. Much darker than than that.
 
Thread Predictor:

1) it's pink!
2) no it's not!
3) it's sort of pink but manly pink
4) it's the same color as the dock
5) no it's not!
6) it depends on the lighting
7) your pictures are wrong
8) the lighting is accurate
9) no it's not!
10) it's the same shade as Apple watch
11) no it's not! It's pinker!
12) it was pink on the late show!
13) no it wasn't!
14) A man has to be gay to get a pink phone!
15) no he doesn't!
16) repeat steps 1-15, increasing incrementally in tone and emotion

I think they have a syndrome that encompasses the symptoms you're exhibiting.

Something about Napoleon.
...lol, this statement reminds me of the day that I found out that Lou Gehrig Disease was named after the baseball player
 
I'm definitely going for Rose Gold as well. Just love that color. Never liked silver anyway, and Space Gray isn't as beautiful as it was on iPhone 5s. And gold... Well, gold is nice, but a little bit too much blingy. Don't know how to exactly explain it. :p

Anyway, Rose Gold looks so nice, whether it's more pink than actual Rose Gold or not. I'm totally buying it. :D
 
I wouldn't own a pink phone just like I don't wear pink clothes. I'm a pretty traditional guy but I don't think less of anyone for having different tastes.

Get whatever color you like!

Okay, I'm a gun lover... but do you REALLY think responses like this are appropriate or necessary? It's people like you that are damaging how people view gun ownership and use in the public eye. Like, really, in this proposed scenario you're going to make fun of someone bigger than you for not being manly enough because they have a pink phone - just because you have a gun to make you feel like a big man if they get angry?

Grow up, guns aren't a license for you to instigate conflict.
 
I MIGHT get a Rose also if it is available on Friday when I pick up my preorder but I am not going for it without seeing it firsthand before I buy it. Chances are I would be able to sell it but not as easily as if it wasn't opened first.
 
Napoleon Dynamite?

I'm really bummed there's no screaming hot pink iphone. Or at least a screaming hot pink leather case.

But what if the guy challenges you when you're visiting Idaho? Will the Glock teleport you both to Ohio? Will you be without your Glock in Idaho and have to hit the larger man over the head with a frying pan? :confused: Do you really think big guys with pink phones will be a problem in Ohio? :eek:
 
FWIW my husband, another big dude who normally only wants space gray stuff, says he'd be interested in the Rose gold if it had a black bezel. I was very surprised because he's so conservative in taste. But he thinks rose gold looks good even if it turns out to be pink and one of the guys he likes and respects at work is getting one. He just doesn't like the white bezel on a iPhone. A lot of guys seem interested in the Rose gold for some reason. Interesting. People are loosening up.
 
Uh, pretty sure the reason is because it's a great color.

It is - and honestly it's not as baby/powder pink as some people seem to be making it out to be (which I wouldn't honestly mind, but I also just generally love pink). It's definitely warmer and more orange compared to the pink silicone case which is already a warm/yellow pink shade. Honestly, my first thoughts when seeing the shade in person weren't "whoa that's pink", but I do think I would describe the color as pink copper.

It doesn't scream femininity or masculinity to me by default, just a lovely color that could work for a lot of different people who like it unless they're afraid of having even the slightest hint of pink on their person. I actually think under most lighting conditions it looks less pink than it does in this picture.

There is already a thread on this here.

I'm a male and I've never owned any electronic device that wasn't black (except for a silver iPod), but the rose gold looks cool to me. I'm colorblind and it looks more orange/copper than pink, but sadly it has a white faceplate.


I agree - I would have ordered rose gold if the face was black, not white. So my only option is space gray. But the rose gold is fine for anyone who wants it.

Really? It's people like you why I cannot wait to move out of the US to a country that does not allow guns to be sold so easily.

To get this back on track, there's been probably 10 or so threads on this topic, the general consensus is that it doesn't matter what gender you are, if you like the color then buy it.
