Mine just changed to preparing for shipment. Rose gold 128GB 6s Plus ATT&T carrier ordered from Apple site several minutes after 3AM EST because site wasn't up (at least for me) right at 3AM. I hope the color isn't pink with just a gold cast. I don't want a pink phone. I've never returned anything to Apple but would they be glad to get one back (unused, just unpacked to see it) as it's a "rare" color? Also, silly maybe but, I wonder if we can get the other fighting fish on our phone if we don't like the orange one for rose gold? I have to admit, silver and blue fighting fish color combo is best for blue fish.
Or is it like the Apple watch: You cannot get every size (38mm vs. 42mm)/watch band/watch color, etc. combination? At least now there is a navy blue band / gold sport watch combo. Before I had to just drool over the navy/gold edition. But it's true that the gold of the Edition is (to me) prettier than the ersatz duller gold color of the sport.
I have an antique pocket watch passed down in the family (it's engraved with 1915) so I wanted the rose gold phone but not if it's more pink than gold. I suppose I could just slap a case on it.
