Every iPhone and ipad I've ever owned was black or gray. I've had them all. Wouldn't think of ever getting white.

When I got my first Air,I accidentally picked up the silver with white face. I wanted black, but didn't feel like dealing with returning it so I kept it.

Now, I love being able to see the white ipad when its dark in the room and my ipad is sitting somewhere in that room. It just stands out better visually in the dark, without turning on a light.

Ended up getting a white and silver air 2. Grown accustomed to it. Very clean.

But to be honest I'd never get a white iPhone. My ipad rarely leaves the house.
I am just the opposite. I didn't mind a white phone*, but I want black on the front of the iPad since it doesn't distract from the screen. It is the same reason I don't want a TV with a white bezel or a computer display with a white bezel.

*With the phones getting bigger (I have a 6 plus), I don't think I would want white for those anymore, either. Personally, I would prefer the Gold and Silver if they had the option of black on the front.
 
The gold isn't really gold. It has 3 different colors if you have the cellular version.

It has the gold in the back, white on the front and pasty plastic white on the top.

Just as awful as the gold iphone 6 with the pasty white plastic antennas on the back.

Apple releases gold iPads and iPhones because they know Apple customers are the only ones who would buy something like that.

Space gray is the one decent one they make. Followed by silver/white. Gold should be an option for teenage girls only.
 
If you guys were my friends and we were at a party and you pulled out a Gold iPad I would get up and never talk to you again.

Apparently the OP cares because he is posting pictures of what he bought in a forum opening himself for opinions and criticism.

If you're so secure in what you bought why come here and post it? I don't see the point.

Regardless of what you say, it looks horrible, its just that people don't want to get banned from here so they won't speak up. That Gold looks awful. It doesn't match with anything and that pasty white antenna on the back makes it even worse.

The best thing he can do now is put in in a case so that nobody can look at that back.

At least he can look at his little gold touch ID ring.

Well there is another one that's going on the ignore list...

For anyone who was curious to see how the Gold Air 2 looks paired with a Space Grey 6 plus... well, here you go!;) And once you throw my macbook in there, I have the most gorgeous mobile setup on planet Apple!!!
