The photo at the keynotes shows another color, not pink, and even the Apple Watch, which in photos match its colors, still doesn't come out pink when you see it in person (I don't own one obviously, but have seen one in person). So, no, not pink, unless you think rose, or light pale red is pink.
Got a tip for us?

Many people perceive the color below as pale pink. In the video, it can look pale pink, salmon, coral, or pinkish copper depending on the angle and lighting, but the common denominator seems to be pink (e.g., salmon is an orange-based pink).
And I thought gold couldn't get any uglier for Apple products, and BAM! Jony delivers rose gold for the iPhone! That's unapologetically disgusting.
Rose gold looks so ugly. "Rose gold" Lol, more like ugly shade of pink.
I think it's targeted towards Chinese women. Gold phones are targeted towards Chinese men. Similar to how, generally speaking. White phones are targeted towards western women and black phones are targeted towards western men.
It's almost day and night from the iPhone 5/5S, yeah? The protruding camera, the rounded edges, the huge, clunky phone, the plastic eyesore band strips on the back, the obscenely tacky colors like gold and rose gold pink... It's unimaginable.
Even if I were to ever imagine them getting to this point, it CERTAINLY would not have been guessed to occur this quickly. I mean, they designed arguably the most beautiful phone in the world just 2, 3 years ago when they introduced the iPhone 5.
Sad to see where they've come.
Whoever doesn't think rose gold looks pink is seriously deluding themselves. It's pink, plain and simple. I don't care what Apple calls it. And having said all that, I know a ton of ladies who will be getting it.
My space grey can look gold, silver or grey depending on the lighting. So I would guess the Rose gold could also take on coppery sheen or pink depending on the lighting, with warm incandescent lighting bringing out a coppery hue and cool lighting from LED or fluorescent bulbs giving it the pink shade seen in these photos.I'm probably one of the few people that like Rose Gold color. I love pink. much to my husband dismay. i had hoped that the RG was more of a pinkish color rather that a copperish color . it looks like my wish came true. I already brought a clear hybrid case for it. so that the pink can shine. though i know its not for everyone as everyone has different tastes. now my husband is wishing that apple would come out with an electric blue color with a black front. That would be his dream.
I can't understand people begrudging the release of this color when Apple is still making the more conservative silver and grey tones. They're offering the customers more choices and trying to appeal to foreign markets. I would never presume to impose my tastes on the rest of the world by insisting Apple never produce colors of which I don't personally approve.
While I'm delighted with it just because it is new and fresh and a break from stodgy monotones, I can understand some people find it excruciatingly ugly and fully support their right to say so. But to insist it should not be offered at all when fellow customers are enthusiastically ordering it seems very entitled to me. Really, if you don't like it, don't get it. Nobody is forcing people to buy pink iPhones at gunpoint. Well, it's a crazy world so perhaps I shouldn't speak in absolutes. There may be some lunatic out there with a pink iPhone fetish. Okay...I'm clearly up past my bedtime.
Still going to put the black tempered glass protector on my silver phone so that the silver touch ID ring stands out more.
Realistically, people should expect a pinkish copper color exactly like what you see in Apple's marketing pics of the rose gold iPhone. Call it whatever you want, but it won't be a true copper color like what you see on the rose gold Edition.

Correct. Also, the purple 'Starry Norway' wallpaper is not in iOS 9 and therefore would not be on the 'S' models by default, as shown in the video. Definitely an iPhone 6.
Don't be too concerned, remember photo probably taken with an iPhone and being looked at on an iPad.
Just joking!
thats really nice actually. wondering if its similar or not to the iPad Air (first edition) brown case?
That awkward moment when I have, which is exactly why I mentioned it in the first place. Don't worry you'll see on Saturday when you line up to go see
People never learn.
All three items are the exact shadel. It's all uniform.
The aluminum watch, dock, and phone will all be the same color, because thats the hue of pinkishness you will get from aluminum. Its the real gold 'rose-gold' watch that looks coppery.
I have pre-ordered the space grey also pre-ordered matte black skin from dbrand ... can't wait ... wish apple did some proper colours ... also option to choose black bezels on all colours
How have you held the rose gold iPhone? Wait, the answer is no because it's not released.
