I was very attracted to it initially but am having second thoughts. I know I can put a solid case on it, but am kinda wanting the black bezel this time around. This isn't earth shattering, just voicing doubts in a forum that understands

Rethinking the Rose Gold

Black bezels look so boring and dull. White is why I was happy to place an order for a rose gold.
Yeah black bezels take the joy out of colorful wallpapers/apps, they mute and dampen the appearance of everything.
The space gray screams "no personality" to me. It's too business-like.
I have the gold 5s as a second line. Bought for a failed relationship (don't ever do this unless married and sure of things). Anyhow, I don't like the white as much. Plus the newer rose gold looks pink. Every pic or video I've seen it looks pretty girly. IDK. I wouldn't buy it. To each his own.
that's why i made it a point to go to the apple store yesterday.... i wanted to see the watch in person..... i was so torn between all the pretty pinkie pink pictures online and the gorgeous black bezel....
after seeing the rose gold watch in person my decision was made: space gray and i'll get a very cool skin for my new phone!

If you're going to get a case, then the only thing that really matters is which bezel will look best with it, because you're not going to see the back again till it's time for a new phone.
Why don' t you take a rose gold one. If you buy a black curved protector like cinder/imos/armorz and a touch id protector in black, you wil have a rose gold iphone with a black front.
Wanted the space grey 6 plus last year, but stock was low so I bought the silver and have used it for the last year.
I have been fine with the white, but have missed and been envious of the black.
We'll see on the 25th if I still like using the black when my space grey 6s plus arrives.

After having black for every previous iPhone, I got the gold 6 Plus. While I loved it for a few months, eventually the novelty wore off and I found myself disliking the look of the white bezels. For the 6s Plus, I'm going back to space grey.
Funny thing is, I have a silver iPad and I love that, but that also has a smart cover on it so usually when I'm using it, the screen is lit up. On the iPhone, a lot of the time the screen is black, but I have it near me and uncovered, so I'm seeing the black face and white bezels and it doesn't work for me.
Once I got my Apple Watch, space grey sport, I knew I needed to go back to black bezel phones. It looks like such a mismatch to have a black AW and a gold iPhone.

No doubts about going with the rose gold here.
Use one of the flower with black background as wake up screen, flower really stands out. I just switched to solar disk.
