Im torn, I wanted the space grey, but the gold ring around the home button on the Gold looks really good, and I would have a case on it to hide the sides and back haha!

Heres the space grey:

Nice, thanks. If only it were a silver-toned ring on black, like the ring on the white/silver model, I would be torn between gold and space grey.
 
From Tech Crunch's review...in one photo its looks like the ring is black, but from a close-up it's clearly space gray.

Seems that when light is reflected, it looks black, but in reality the ring IS clearly space gray.

My life just got more complicated with all these decisions.

I knoow right? :(

Haha. I'm a big face of the white face on the iPhone, especially since it seems to match the white in ios7, but I think the space gray color is incredibly slick. It's the color I wish the black iPhone 5 was.
 
After seeing these pics space grey for sure! Looks like the button changes in different light settings, looks sharp.
 
I must be one of the few who thinks the ring looks stupid on the gold and silver. I like how it blends in on the 5S
 
I have the phone in hand. I don't know why it looks gray in some pics and vids, but I can 100% confirm that the ring around the sensor on the space gray phone is BLACK. It blends in nicely.

Great, I'm not torn anymore. I want people to know I have the latest and greatest. The black with case on it will not look any different than the 5 at a glance

It's clear it's not black. It's the same color as the sides. Unless there is two versions on the go

well, it doesn't have the square on the button, right? there you go.

It's actually the exact opposite. it's the light reflection that makes it look gray.
 
I have ordered space grey with apple. I held one in Carphone warehouse today, the shop was well lit and I can confirm that the ring is black, the reason it looks a different colour is some pics is because it's beveled and so it catches the light at different angles.

I do like it but I REALLY like the ring on the white fronted phones, part of me wishes the ring on the space grey model was actually silver. I reckon it would look good.

BTW the space grey model looks lovely, the grey colour looked really classy and the phone had no marks or scuffs anywhere.
 
What bothers me is that on the front of the space grey box the ring is clearly space grey. But in reality, it is clearly black. Almost seems like they must have changed something last minute...

I think so too. I was expecting the ring to pop off the phone and was very disappointed to see that it was black.
