Still can’t decide? Here is a great video showing Silver and Space Gray iPhone X side-by-side

SG all the way! Hate how the camera lens stands out like a sore thumb on the white

Man I’m the opposite. I hate how the nothing stands out on the space gray. It looks very plain and bland to me for some reason. Yet I love my matte black iPhone 7.

I like the contrast of the silver.

Actually I wish they did it like the iPhone 4. Black front and back glass, silver edges, and silver/mirrored Apple logo. That was my favorite.

If space gray was black instead of gray, I would get it without any hesitation.
 
I was all about silver at the start, but switched SG and haven't looked back. The chrome trim around the camera just kills the silver for me. Also surprised at how dirty the stainless band appears in all the hands on videos. The black just blends in and appears as one cohesive chunk of screen.

Nice find on the video.

Both are great, but to me the space grey looks miles better than the silver. Silver has too many colors going on with the chrome, black around the camera and the silver under the glass.

The SG looks clean and uniform and I couldn't be happier with my choice. To each their own...

I ordered the Space Grey. While I prefer the white glass back of the Silver, the stainless steel/chrome band is what turned me off. If it was really silver like the one on the iPhone8, I'd get it over the Space Grey. That white glass back is really gorgeous!

I’m going to treat this thread like a poll and count up all he Space Gray vs the Silver.

To me after watching the video, I like how the Space Gray blends well with the camera, but like the logo on the Silver. If the logo were more reflective and bright in the light, like silver, it would be perfect.

Want a really surreal experience? Listen to French Gangsta Rap. It will melt your brain to hear that in such a lyrical language.

This just makes me even more excited for this phone and glad that I chose "silver" even though it really feels a little closer to white with chrome bezels. Looking forward to Friday.

I went for the silver as I think the white back looks clean, the front is still black and it stands out in a crowd of dark phones.
Also the fact that the Space Grey is not (obviously) black! If it was a Black Color I would likely would have chosen it.
But for now, the Silver stands out more and in a good way in my opinion.

For those who really just want to show off their new iPhone X and are not bothered by which color, as I said before, the Silver would make it easier for iOS to be distinguished as the new iPhone X.

:D I think i'll try that.
 
If it wasn’t for the stainless band, I would have gone with silver. Real 3G/3GS feel to it, but I didn’t want to deal with the micro abrasions on the stainless steel and I wanted the darker band to match my watch.

you'll love the smudges and fingerprints and micro scratches on the SG...

Let's not have any false modesty, all iPhones or any touch displays will have fingerprints and smudges. As far as scratching goes, that's also based on how one treats their iPhone and if they decide to use a case or not. And there is PVD coating used on the Space gray stainless steel bands surrounding the iPhone to help protect against scratches.
 
prefer the silver for first impressions, it has a more modern look, but for long time use, cant beat the space gray, its a classic, so since i'm using it for a year at least, i'm glad i went with the space gray, its just stealthy looking... but both colors are great especially now that apple has finally given them all a black front. i could just imagine how gorgeous it would look with a product red iphone X and that black front...
