OOI have you made any black and gold mockups? I would be interested to see what that looks like. But Rose Gold and Black does look amazing, and great job on the mockup.

----------

Maybe they could make the gold models (including Rose) with white and black options. That would be nice.

There are black and gold mockups in this thread and they look great.
 
I really hope they do this and perhaps bring back slate black as well, give the black iphone the attention it really does deserve. If this happens will go back to the black, now if a slate black comes out at the same time as well, it will be a hard choice. Seems a bit unfair that the white, has had two color options

On a side note, heres a mockup for a slate iphone 6

Fourth Exploration:

Gold iPhone with black bezel
Apple Watch Space Grey with black bezel
Silver with black bezel

Gold and black everyday for me, the new space grey makes for an almost slate look with a hint of blue, silver and black is pure class.

i LOVE your mockups but think that they should make the home button ring match the bezel colour, even on white iPhones. I like it when the front is as simple as possible

Fair point... But I love the contrast it's so uniquely "iPhone" the circular home button. Love them all I just really hope we see a golden black faced iPhone this year, otherwise I'll go space black.
 
I think the black, slate, gold, and silver iPhones all look great in those mock ups with the black bezel. Rose gold looks nice too, but it would be my last choice of the five. I'd love to own any of the first four, but that black one is super sexy.

This ^ I would choose that in a heartbeat.
 
One could think of another reason why Apple will not just add a Rose Gold iPhone with a white bezel to the lineup: the differentiation between generations.

If they just add this option, the other three iPhone 6s would look the same like the iPhone 6. But if they mix the (rose) gold with the black bezel, they have one or two new color options. Then people can show they have a new iPhone, i.e. there is a design representation of the new generation (like the 5s got gold color and the TouchID ring).

So Apple definitely takes that into account, that people want that their new iPhone also looks different.

That's the strongest reason why Rose gold will have a black bezel
 
You could also very well see rose gold with a white bezel and gold or silver with a black bezel. It will be interesting to see what Apple chooses to do, if the rumors are indeed true.

Personally, I am hoping for the gold model with a black bezel, or perhaps a different (darker) take on space grey. Slate/black, something along those lines.

Rose gold doesn't really appeal to me.
 
I like your mockups.

However, I disagree. I think it will be a white face with rose gold back. People who want a black face like the industrial style. An industrial style lacks color other than various shades of gray or black.

That is a very very valid point.

On topic though, these mockups all look amazing. There's a reason black is so loved, it just goes with everything and it's so sleek.
 
They are not going to have 1 black bezel iPhone and 3 White bezel iPhones.

So it's safe to say either the new Rose Gold will be black or they will make the Gold iPhone black and make Rose Gold white.
But there are 5 iPod Touches with a white bezel and only 1 with a black bezel. (2 if you count the Slate separately from Space Gray)
 
^ it might just be me, but I really do not find those "glossy" gold colours attractive at all, they scream "tacky" (to my tastes, at least)

The one that the OP made in Photoshop however, that was pretty classy and more of that "apple-esque" design elegance

Nice mockups - especially this 3. I really hope they do go in line with the new MacBook colours like this.

I still have my gold 5s but determined to go back to a black screen this year as I dislike the white face. I would love the black and gold (not rose gold) which would look great with the gold MacBook I have on order. Although I do like the white/champagne gold Studio Wireless Beat headphones which would look great with the white/gold phone.

Personally I think they should offer 8 choices i.e. all combos of white and black with space grey, silver, gold and rose gold. That will keep us all happy :D I don't think that is too crazy given the choice now available for other products (macbook, 5c, and :apple:watch). Otherwise all three like your mockup and a white and rose gold version.
