iPhone 6s rose gold colour - a "male" option? [merged]

People on here are only getting it because it's a new color. The majority of the people you will see in public having it will be females.

I'm not too sure if rose gold is for anyone. The color is beautiful. But those antenna bands ruin it.

I think guys can rock rose gold. The rose gold on the iPhone 6s has more of a orange undertone than pink.

Those bands are the devil! So ugly! I hope they disappear on the 7.
 
Do any of you use the iPhone without a case? I can't do it because the back scratches too easily/they're too thin now and are easier to drop.

So the color doesn't really matter to me. I'll only see it on the Touch ID ring :)
 
Great post ...I love it......being a rose golder myself ! Why buy the, same old same old ! I spoke with Catlin earlier and she said go for it.
 
As a grown ass man I wouldn't exactly jump at the opportunity to purchase anything colored "Rose". In other words, you wouldn't catch me rockin a pink iPhone. Diff strokes for diff folks

I don't use a case. My iPhone 6 was scratch-free until one day I threw my iPad Mini on it, and boom :eek:

No case, ruins the phone. And it's meant to be abused when you have AppleCare. It's only right.
 
i only use a skin from best skins ever but only on the back. been using them since the 3G and they have never failed me.

bonus is it makes the back of the phone "grippy" so it isn't so slippery for one handed use.
 
Are you gay? Im not trying to be funny or mean, but I could see a gay male using this color with no problems. I do agree its kind of feminine.

all these gender neutral activists need to stop with the online activism.
the phone is obviously feminine looking. theres no reason to say that it's not........
OP if you're questioning it, then you already have your answer.

I have to say I think it's pretty feminine everywhere I've seen it EXCEPT on the official promo ad. When that guy pulls it out of his pocket my first thought isn't "what's he doing with such a girly phone?"
 
Rose Gold looks very similar to Pink.. Good looking man will work well with pink, others not so much. You know yourself best..

I've said this in another thread, but I'll say it again. If you're worried what people will think of you because of the colour of your phone, either stop caring what people think so much, or get a new set of friends.

Get your phone and enjoy it!

If you are worried what people will think, then the concerns are legit. Rose gold is pink! Its feminine, and there is no denying it!

If it bugs you when you see it in person you can return it, I suppose. I hope you really like it and enjoy it.

I saw the Rose gold watch in the Apple Store today. Under their lighting it does look pink. But with orange undertones. It's not Hello Kitty pink in their lightning.

I want Rose Gold even though I'm actually kind of a tomboy and normally drawn to black and grey gadgets for something different and it will help me celebrate my mom's thus far successful battle against breast cancer. She was actually diagnosed with the disease for the third time last year during the last IPhone launch. Some forum members were around when I mentioned what our family was going through and wished us well. Her first time resulted in a lumpectomy. Second and third times each were mastectomies. It's a horrible disease.

I'm going to get a little pink ribbon sticker for my iPhone's case. A lot of guys wear or use pink stuff in support of breast cancer research so I don't know if the stigma against men and pink is as strong as it once was. In any case Rose Gold may not end up looking that pink when it's out and about in regular lightning. At any rate it's a very striking color on the Apple Watch. It really drew me in.

I just bought one and I'm not straight, but I'm not feminine. I bought it because I'm hoping it's like copper [think: U.S. penny].

I'm thinking it's gonna be a bit more pink then a penny. I LOVE the rose gold color, but I wanted black bezel since I've had white for 3 years (5, 5s, 6 Plus). It's time to change that.

My masculinity isn't defined by the color of my iPhone, it's 2015 I thought we were passed this.
