It's a bit too feminine for myself, that said I have no issue with blokes going for it themselves.
 
I think the main issue is the name Rose Gold, it sounds feminine without even seeing it. If they had called it Copper then the perception might be a bit different. I'm male and love the colour, just a little put off by the name!

Rose gold isn't copper colored though.. Rose gold has a lot more pink to it.. I wish Apple would offer a true copper with black bezel.. I think that would look stylish.
 
It's basically pink so no I'm not getting it. Where's the black slate again Apple??
 
Buy the rose gold and cover it with a black case. When people asking which phone you have, take the case off briefly and reveal the brand new shiny rose gold color. Problem solved
 
I agree you should get what you prefer to carry around and use each day.

Boring as always, I'm getting Space Grey as I have used the white front iOS devices and the experience isn't what I'm after.

Of all the decisions I have to make, Plus or not, what carrier, etc. at least color is one thing I answered for myself a few years ago.
 
If I like it, I get it. But I like a dark one.

Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti! - Go your own way, and let the people talk, Dante and later Karl Marx :)

Nobody says a word I promise you.
 
OP get what you want. 90% of the time you have the phone it will be inside a case where people can't tell the color anyway.
 
What's so feminine about copper? The colours don't define who you are. Get what you like and stop worrying.

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.
 
Go for it. Hell, I've worn the "pink" sports band we have. Funny, it's usually the softy who's biggest physical outlet is playing fantasy football who's the first person to carp about a _color_.

Nice, yeah, copper or like bronze with a black bezel.

As a woman, I think it's sexy when a man wears pink, as it shows he's confident in his masculinity, can make his own decisions and doesn't worry about what (some) people think, and it implies he's not a homophobe. I'd think the same of a man carrying a pink phone (and let's face it, the rose gold they're showing in the pics is pretty darn pink).

So yeah, get it if you like it. IMO that'd be pretty hot.
 
I agree with everyone. Get what you like. Have you seen how many men rock pink clothes these days? I have a feeling the rose gold won't be AS pink in person either. It's about you, what you like, and our personal style. This has nothing to do with anybody but you =]

The Apple Watch in rose gold is in stores. The color should be the same for the phone. Worth a look before you preorder

The rose gold for the AW is gorgeous and much less pink than the phones they're showing, BUT it's actual rose gold, so...might not be the same.

I meant the sport version that was just released yesterday.
