[Populus]

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...

You know when did I get those retro-PC vibes? When I saw the starlight MacBook Air. It’s so tempting to put a rainbow Apple sticker on it…

Looks rather…. caucasian. 🤫

Wut's wrong with that?

This color looks niiiiiice.

They pick the most ugly, boring colors. lol.

Pros can’t have pink or purple or sky blue. No fun for pros.

I have noticed on eBay iPhone special colours like midnight green, sierra blue etc hold there value much better than the regular colours. When I buy my next iPhone I will pass on gold, white & black.

the MacRumors photo-mockup looks like a pack of pantyhose... I will go for the space gray/black or whatever they call it this year...

just needs a 5 min Johnny Ive video where he talks about how they decided one beige

Unpopular opinion: I couldnt care less how close the iPhone can get to actual gold..

Even if they actually nail it, and it looks like legit gold - why would anyone want a real gold looking iPhone?

Do we expect people to believe it’s real gold?
Everyone knows its fake.

Is it a psychological effect that makes one feel they own an iPhone “edition”?

While we’re at it why dont we have real looking platinum, emerald and sapphire phones😅

I don’t know I guess I just don’t get the hype of “how real the gold looks”

 

[Digital Dude]

I was hoping for a ‘burnt rust. 🤷‍♂️

 

[Gix1k]

Guess I'm going white PM this year.

I own/use a Gold iPhone 6s (black bezel). Gorgeous color. Timeless design as well. Scroll down about 1/2 page on link below. Photo actually does not do the phone justice at all. Might be the case here as well. Link:

It’s *literally* beige, the most boring of colors

I’m going to call this colour gastro.

Incredible that they are making phones out of titanium now. That's the same material they use to make spy planes, as Steve Jobs pointed out years ago. Now you can have a titanium super computer in your pocket in a few months... what a world!! Can't wait for the 16.

Really ugly. Can’t say I’ve ever been a fan of the Gold color though, other than the iPhone XS — that was a nice metallic looking gold color on the glass back. With these frosted glass backs now though, it just doesn’t pop.

 

[BugeyeSTI]

So now it's not bronze but gold? They still have time to change new color rumor before launch

I was just going to mention we went from rose, bronze, and now … gold. The 9th can’t come fast enough.

 

[Noctilux.95]

Well I can tell you for sure my 16 Pro WILL NOT be this color.

 

[boss.king]

"revealed" ... "mockup"

Yeah, that's not a reveal, it's a guess.

As always in threads like this, the comments never disappoint.

These are the possible colors Apple has to work with. https://monsterbolts.com/blogs/news...wJOGXuXO9KuZdyvU8ovvpd2K0LpOSBBWFod_2TCpy09Xz

17.5 or 20 seem like decent shades of purple. Hopefully they bring that back.

I think it’s difficult to make a glass back look golden.

While not difficult to make it gold, it is difficult to make it gold but not tacky. They could easily make it a gold mirror.

 

[B-Mc-C]

They get rid of blue for this? Ugh.

 

[svish]

Not impressed with the rumoured colour. Have to see what the actual colour will be.

 

[bLackjackj]

As Steve would say,..Yuck! I think this might just be for Tim's personal collection Lol. Who wants a poop coloured phone?? Bring back dark/ navy blue 👍
