There are gradation of colors; this it is not a binary world.
You'd probably insist that tens of thousands of colors are "just blue" despite having all different names and being quite far apart on the color wheel.
The fact you keep insisting makes me think that you have as much an "issue" as you insist the poster has...
I'll refer you to posts number 40 and 50.

I think someone in another thread told me I couldn't get the phone if it was pink because I'm a guy. :eek:

That's just ridiculous. Honestly, when I think of pink, this phone color isn't what comes to mind. Sure, in different lighting it can have more of a pink hue to it but in the lighting I've seen it under, it has a copper like color. And yes, I have the phone and seriously couldn't care less if it were truly pink.
 
Sorry, but this isn't pink. Maybe you need to see a doctor.

Yeah, I tend to agree. Doesn't really look all that pink on that picture. I still don't like it though, but I'm glad that plenty of people do.

Let's be honest here .... it wouldn't be wrong to speculate that people would question your sexuality if you're a man with the Rose Gold iPhone . Best to put a non-transparent case on it ;)

Thank goodness those men that bought the rose gold likely couldn't care less about what other people think.
 
The top pic .. the right one is supposed to be Rose Gold and left is Gold ?

My Gold iPhone 6 looked like the right one -

Yeah my gold 6 looked rose gold in certain lighting, especially at night. Comparing my phone to a friend's RG now -- they both look silver in the sunlight.
 
I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned (unless I missed it) that the look of this particular thread has been customized with ornamentation that has a pinkish color. Kudos to the clever MacRumors designer who thought of doing that!

My mistake. It appears the entire iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch section is done in that color scheme.
 
Just to chime in with my opinion (if anybody cares). I ordered the Rose Gold and was worried it would be a little too pink. However, it just arrived and looks fantastic--very close to a champagne/copper look.
 
How come some people are so hell-bent on telling others what they see is not really what they're seeing? :rolleyes:

True!

I have one , and I have issues telling my own brain it's not pink. Might try alcohol....
 
Enjoy your phone OP.

I wish it was copper in my case, and while under different lighting conditions the colour changes like my 5S gold, to my eyes it's a metallic barbie pink, I'll be returning mine or selling it to someone who will appreciate it more.

The most off putting aspect was the White front, having owned many white phones , I prefer the black front. Rose pink, with black front, I'd have kept.

I went and saw the rose gold earlier. And sides definitely looked like pink (but not hot pink level), but the back panel looked very pale.

it's a bit odd since it's all same body finish, the sides and the back panel. But the sides looked deeper in color. ...It probably because all the people touching and leaving fingerprints on the back panel that made it paler. So if you use without a case, the back panel will look paler due to use or you cover it up with a case. So I don't get what these folks were freaking out about this whole pink thing. Guaranteed, most of these "it's not pink, it's salmon!" and "it's pink, don't kid yourself!" crowd were before anybody actually saw the phone in person.

And it's possible that outdoors under the sun, the back panel could reflect and make it look more pink, almost candy pink shade, but inside of the apple store, it was too pale of pink to freak out. So I don't see any problem with guys carrying these around - although have to say this color will be way more popular among women by default.
 
Just my $0.02:

I seriously considered pre-ordering my 6S+ in Rose Gold, but just couldn't pull the trigger; I got silver (again). However, since pre-ordering, I picked up the 42mm Rose Gold AWS, which I really like.

I like it so much that I was bummed that I didn't order the 6S+ in RG. Strangely, though, I didn't like it that much when I went to the Apple Store today to see what RG looks like in person (on a 6S+).

Finally, I didn't think it looked too pink; I just didn't love it.

EDIT: I agree with the poster above; the back looks pale.
 
Its so weird that people see color so differently. I don't think this phone is pink at all and I've showed it to a bunch of people and no one said pink. Everyone liked it. The only time I see a pink hue is from dead on in indirect sunlight. Any angle and it looks copper (to my eyes). Indoors it almost looks gold. I showed my friend indoors and he swore I got the gold one by mistake until we took it by a window. I love it so much. Don't find it feminine at all.
 
This color might as well be called Chameleon. Keeps changing colors! My family swears it's copper but it's pink to me lol.

Pink enough. All the girls will have one. It's a chicks phone for sure.
