Oh ****, can someone fill me in?! I'm a male and I ordered the Rose Gold, I didn't know it might not have been an option for me. Should I cancel my preorder? Will my order be processed? I'm in panic-mode now.
Got a tip for us?

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

Keep in mind that fluorescent light throws off the color. In fact, many thought the Space Black AW on display was gunmetal when it's actually black.
I'm a male and copped rose gold. I'm going to try and rock it as confidently as possible
Relax! Rose gold is perfectly fine for a guy. I'm 19, male, and I ordered Rose gold...
That's what bugged me about the hands-on content after the event last week. Such harsh fluorescent lighting everywhere that I knew the footage was giving off a pretty skewed version of the actual finish :\ Time to hit the Apple Store in person I guess
Even the Apple Store is full of harsh fluorescent lighting and the Space Black AW also looks gunmetal inside the display table. However, if they have the gold and rose gold aluminum AW out in the open (i.e., at the try-on table), you should get a better idea of the actual finish.
Those high-end men's watches are real rose gold, which looks nothing like artificial rose gold-colored aluminum. Based on the rose gold aluminum AW I saw in person at the Apple Store, it's more on the pink side. All one has to do is compare it to real rose gold found on the Edition models inside the same display table.
I got my rose gold dock today and I'm really impressed by the color. Its definitely something you have to see in person to get the full effect of what it actually looks like. It's also a lot less pink then I thought it would be.
I copped the rose gold myself.. i didn't think of the dock actually , i need to see it. it makes sense , it is supposed to match the iPhone right? So the iPhone will have exactly the same finish as the dock , easy peasy.

I sure hope that it matches the phone, or it's getting returned.
And hope that the white balance is correct. We've gotten photos of the rose gold AW that looks yellow and the lavender sport band that looks stone.
I'll try to. I think I saw a picture floating around the forums somewhere already. The Rose Gold color is weird because it almost changes color in a way under different light.
edit: I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with the band Purity Ring but I originally thought it would be the same color as their latest album cover. I tried taking a decent picture to represent the docks color on the vinyl sleeve.
It honestly didn't really do much justice still.

Unfortunately, the white balance is off on that one. Same with the pic below of the rose gold aluminum AW with lavender sport band (as evidenced by the band looking white here). I'd suggest actually visiting an Apple Store because they're way too difficult to photograph properly.

I suppose it'll be a gamble for the rest of you guys then! lol
How dare you claim my masculinity is weak!! *clutching my space gray iPhone 6 Plus*.
I'm going to throw this case on there to balance out the girlyness
WTH:
Look at the photos on Apple's website. It may say Rose Gold, but it's Copper my friends, Full Metal Jacket - Copper. The same stuff used to make manly things with. You work with copper if you are a plumber. Man bracelets are made of - copper... So I think all of you who are saying it's for girls, are wrong.
Hahahaaha in your faceeeeeeee
