Hi All,

Kinda like the rose gold option but hey need to ask my fellow forum members - could a guy carry off this colour or is it too feminine?

Thanks!

It is masculine to the extent that you consider a pink phone to be masculine.
 
It's hard to tell what colour it really is until we can see it in person. I would love it if it was a gold/copper colour but it looks more like salmon coloured pink.

You can buy whatever you like as everyone says, so I would prefer a masculine colour for me.

Okay, everyone is being a little Judgy-Wudgy here, relax internet, chill on the gender issues. Nubben might have simply meant is the color a true Rose Gold (as we know it's a darker than yellow gold, much like copper) or is this iPhone more pink in color. To be clear, Pink and Rose Gold are two very different colors however every image of the Rose Gold accessories / iPhones look different due to lighting.
 
I remember when the white iPhone was "to girly"... after the gold and now the rose gold.

Colors don't have sex gender, if you are comfortable with who you are GET ANY COLOR YOU WANT!

If they didn't want to buy iPhone 5c's for being too colorful, they're not going to buy into this. Just kidding. You'd be surprised at the amount of men who are going to buy this for the status.
 
Are you insecure? Pick your favorite color. Second white came out I wanted it and didn't care. Most of us have a case anyway so really probably won't matter.

Silver white is pretty, as I'm sure the pinkish color will be too

that's what i'm worried about... I want more pinkie... if it's more coppery I won't like it!

do you think it's safe to assume that they will use the same rose gold for the phone that they used on the watch? I 'm going to apple this evening and plan to see the rose gold watch while there.... (of course... I know it's hard to assume anything where apple is concerned!)
 
You are definitely going to see more females with the rose gold than males. It's just the way our culture is. Pink and purple are girl colors.
 
For those that can't quite decide, i reckon the finish on the watch will be exactly the same as on the phone seeing as though both are made from the 7000 series aluminium. :)

Hey everyone,

I wanted to get a better idea of what the Rose Gold iPhone would look like in person before the pre-order, so I checked out the new Apple Watch finishes to get a closer look.

Just wanted to share in case anyone else was in the same situation.

Hope that helps!

Back in the Victorian era apparently the colours were the other way around; blue for girls pink for boys.
 
The most important thing is do you like it or not. I've never enjoyed wearing anything in pink so this is nothing different.

Im pretty certain they'll use the same colour as the watch. From the pics of the watch, it looks slightly more coppery but the iPhone's bigger surface seems to bring out the pink tint more, again from the pics. From a marketing point of view, it's more likely pink than copper.

I think that's what the thread should be about, is it pink or is it copper? Then everyone, male or female, can decide whichever colour is for them.

It will probably look pretty close to what the watch looks like, however the watch has a black face, where the phone is white. It may make the phone look more pink- with the white edges.

According to an article on mashable by someone that seen it... It's definitely pink. (Sorry link is on iPad). Should be called rosé gold apparently.
 
My coworkers make fun of me when I tail them I'm all up for rose gold. I honestly don't give a flying F. Lol I'm confident enough that I would definitely rock that color hard.

I think anyone can rock it. It's just whether you can rock another colour harder.
