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

The iPhone 6 series silhouette looks so sexy from that angle.
To me, all the colors of the iPhone are gender-neutral. It really doesn't matter what color your phone is anymore, anyway.
I'd love a Rose Gold 6s Plus, but the lack of a black bezel kills it for me. Maybe next year.

i agree, think im gonna give a rose gold a shot, something different instead of black/silver
Same thing I think. I'd love rose gold as well (my wedding band has rose gold in it) but the face has to be black to visually fade away. White doesn't cut it.
I noticed gold 7000 series alluminium looks more yellow than the current gold. This might make a difference between 6 and 6S.
Although, 8 hours away I still hesitate between both, I'm really afraid rose gold looks too pink..

Thicker anodization is probably what attributes to the more yellowy look.I noticed gold 7000 series alluminium looks more yellow than the current gold. This might make a difference between 6 and 6S.

Think of this color choice this way:
It creates this conversation; which is great marketing - it's not too negative either.
It creates distinction; which is great - people will get this color because it's the only way to show people you have the 'newest', which isn't a negative either.
It creates desire for me; which is great - future options for more colors, introduce "product red" for those who want the 'male' design and still something new. And there's a reason for the iPhone 7 to stand out. Worst case scenario, it sells more Apple Cases, I guess, which isn't a negative either.
It creates a statement: Fashion; which is what the Apple Watch introduced, well, actually the iPhone 5C introduced that I guess. That the device is 'personal', and that having the iPhone is a fashion statement, which isn't a negative either.
All good reasons to introduce a 'pink' phone, that in my opinion guys can still buy. I am considering it; and not insecure about myself to ignore it. But my reason to doubt about it is that' it looks more 'pink' than 'gold', and that it looks like it is a weathered color, rather than a natural true gold color. But that's just me.

Apple's rose gold is disappointing. Having owned numerous rose gold watches and never having the desire to own yellow gold anything, I'm upset the color looks more like metallic pink.
I'd prefer a copper color (I believe that is how rose gold is made - copper and gold) I don't think Apple is using any real gold in thier colors. One would think it's expensive but it's not. Watch manufactuers charge the same price per model for stainless steel watches as they do ionic plated black, gold, rose gold, etc watches.
Interesting that in the year 2015 colors are still seen as gender specific. If you're a man and want Rose Gold just get it and don't give a rip what other people think.
It looks more pinkish than I'd expected but its decent. Trust me you won't be less a man if you want to get it. It's your money!
Quite frankly I don't care, you shouldn't either lol.
