I’m torn between the new color and the gold finish. Even though I don’t like green, everyone will know you have the latest and greatest iPhone just by looking at it. That may be one reason to choose it over previous years gold. What will be your choice and why?
MIDNIGHT GREEN is the color of the year. It sort of reminds me of the Camo Fashion trend. To me, it's more Military Green and it's a very masculine green, coming from someone who owns a Gold XS Max. I've owned a Gold 5S, 6 Plus and XS Max, so if I were upgrading this year, I would get the Midnight Green. I'd go careless. Regardless of what color you choose, people are going to know you have the latest because of the Camera lenses. That thing is going to stick out more than the color. It's the first I notice when someone holds up an X or XS, the vertical design of the camera.
 
I think the green is disgusting and if you had asked me what color I'd want a phone to be, green would probably be dead last, or very close to it.

Such a bizarre choice by Apple, you have the standard metals/industrial colors - gold/silver/black, and then...green? One is not like the others.

Happy for the people who have been pining for a green phone, but I haven't seen much pining for it here until it came out last week. Makes me wonder how many people are buying it just because they think people care what phone they have and need to be seen with the latest.
I think it’s attractive and I have already owned all the other colors so I decided to go for something different. Although I did have a bike that color when I was a teenager and had a large Nokia phone similar in color.

It is an unusual choice for Apple and I applaud them for it. I hope later in the year they add a product red and a navy blue. Or maybe add those colors for next year’s rumored redesign.
