Keeping it?

I just want to know how many straight blokes getting the pink phone actually own pink clothing or have sneakers with pink on them? Because I keep hearing it's because they like pink... yeah right. It's because it's the only way to identify the new iPhone along with it being new. Now I'm not saying all, but I'd think it makes up a large percentage.

And anybody who believes pink is gender neutral is just in denial. You can say it all you want, but the colour pink as it stands in 2015 and has stood for the past 50 years in western society is a feminine colour.

Now that doesn't mean you can't get a pink iphone for whatever reason you want, but the denial for both the reason and gender bias from some people is funny.

*clap*

Thank you.

The phone is pink and not only does it look feminine, it looks ugly.

The thing with the whole pink iPhone that no one can answer is... If men wanted a pink iPhone in the past, why didn't they put it in a pink case? BECAUSE ITS FEMININE. But Apple releases a pink phone and all of a sudden it's "cool"?

No. Not one man in the history of life has willingly put a pink case on their phone, ever.
 
I'm sitting here patiently waiting for my gold 6+ to arrive. A coworker has a rose gold one and I really like it.
I use a apple leather case so the gold around the home button and bottom of the phone is gold enough to me.

I think the rose gold phone in the saddle leather case would look really sharp!

I was thinking about canceling the gold order but don't see me getting a rose gold in 128GB until early November. Not sure if I want to wait.

I'm loving my Rose Gold 128GB. I got it naked most of the time but the days I'm out of the house all day, I put it in the Rose Grey Leather Case so I don't drop the bloody thing and it breaks (Even though it's pretty strong)

Love it more than the Gold color that I had on the 5S of mine before my 6S+

I think that depends on where you live. Perhaps you don't see that where you live, but in many places it's not a big deal, no more than wearing a pink shirt or pink tie.
 
i told my wife i was getting the rose gold, she said "what does it matter? you put it in a case anyway" I got a space grey 128g 6s. but I'm not opposed to a rose gold

And you aren't alone. Phone color really isn't that big of a deal for most people if for no other reason than because the phone is hidden in a case. The face color matters more than the metal backing.
 
I had a rose gold and returned it cause it was 16 gig and honestly it was girly in my opinion and many others. When I took the phone out of my pocket two lady coworkers screamed like omg it's so cute I love it. Guys were laughing lol. Not that I care but it says a lot still. Anyways, I was going to switch for a 64GB gold but I saw the silver in store and it looks awesome and simple whereas the gold looked a little bit tacky. One note though, whereas the rose gold was super slippery in hand, the silver is MUCH more grippy. I mean very noticeable.

But the phone isn't pink in over 90% of lighting conditions... I actually own one.

It's pink.

I had a Nintendo DS Lite in the same color and it was 100% pink even if it was metallic.

That said I don't care about what color phone someone has.
 
Too bad the phone isn't pink in over 90% of lighting conditions... Don't even try to tell me I'm wrong; I actually own the phone.

Bro, it's pink. But what's wrong with that? If you like the feminine phone by all means. No need to deny it's not pink lol.
 
How are you going to tell me what color my own phone is that I'm looking at right now? It's not pink, and there wouldn't be anything wrong with it even if it was!

You're still in denial. So all the sudden people just came up with the conclusion that it looks pink? Come on now. Most have seen it in person and admits it's more on the pink side. It's not pink it's salmon! Can't remember who said that lol.
