I’m kinda sad they’re replacing the blue colour. I ended up with natural titanium for 15 pro was hoping for something else but gold is a timeless colour for a lot of people
 
Having just flown NZ->UK->NZ via Dubai with Emirates that phone reminds me a lot of the livery used by Emirates and commonly used in Dubai.
Looking out the window of an A380 at 40,000 feet over the middle east that color really says "desert"
I'm sure it'll be popular there.

Sorry, folks. Black is beautiful. It works for my MacBook, my Apple Watch, my iPhone, my clothes and my car. Call it whatever you want, it's still black, and that's what I want. If you want some other color, go for it.
 
In that picture, my eyes see retro beige... like computer cases from a few decades ago...

...particularly in PC tower "beige" (left) vs. iPhone mockup. I do not see "gold" at all in that mockup... more like flesh tones and/or classic beige. Try a search for "Gold color" and then compare some of what looks like gold to you to that "gold." If it is going to be called "gold" I'll have to assume the coloration in the image is not really quite right. Exhibit A...

And oh how I still miss the Amiga!

Now this is how real gold should look like, and the image that 9-to-5 should have ginned up:
