That Rose Gold.. Hmmmm

I'm a guy. I like rose pink colors. I like feminine things. I'm also gay. Is that a problem for you or?

Gold was tough enough but if you go with the Rose, the man card is being pulled.
If you have no problem walking around with a pink phone, more power to you.

I just wished they would offer some masculine choices, like a navy blue or hunter green.

You rock that pink phone bro. You rock it so hard, you make Chuck Norris want a pink phone. Seems like theres a lot of insecure men over here. I remember when the 5s dropped in gold. As soon as I saw the gold, I had to have it. So clean, and different. Everyone was so concerned about whether it was too feminine or not. Now it's completely normal for guys to have the gold. Now everyone is concerned about the rose gold. Get it together fellas. It's a color. Not like you're getting transgender surgery. It's funny how our society works sometimes.

Apple may have this in their mind so they made the gold and rose gold with less intensity. When you wear the Gold and Rose gold Apple watches you will find out that they are unisex.

Do you actually think that what makes a man is what someone else thinks of them? LOL, that's pretty sad.

I just want to comment, why are we even talking about it being a girl color. It is just a color...and that is all it is. Guys and girls will have it...at my job (AT&T) I have pre-ordered more than a few Rose Gold iPhones for dudes. Personally, I think it looks classy.

Don't discriminate just because a guy wants the Rose Gold iPhone. Don't be calling people gay or saying, "There man card is revoked" That shouldn't even exsit anymore anyway.

Color. Has. No. Gender.

Colors are neither masculine nor feminine. Neither are metals. They are inanimate objects with absolutely no sexual or gender identity or association. Girls can like the color blue and boys can like the color pink. Women are not inferior and neither is preferring a certain color over another. For ****s sake it's 2015.

I'm getting Pink so that people don't confuse it with iPhone 6.

And here's my new wallpaper:

Not true, you can have any color you want as long as it is not champagne gold or rose pink.
If you want to argue those are not feminine colors, well, we can agree to disagree.

I don't care what color anyone chooses, I'm just saying what it will look like to everyone else.

If you can walk around with a pink phone and pink watch band, and you are not affected by what other people think, I admire you.

As an example of how silly I am, Target had on clearance, the iPad Air 2 leather smart case, which retails for $80, for $16.
I needed and wanted the smart case badly.

Guess what color it was?

Guess who didn't buy it?

But also, go ahead an offer feminine colors, but what about some masculine options?
How about a real Black, lighter gray, dark blue ,etc.
What do we have, a basic black model and 3 white varieties.

You sound like the kind of "man" that is uber homophobic, whose masculinity is easily threatened, and thinks women who dress slutty deserve to be raped.

Please don't procreate.

I was hoping it's more like a copper color. But it turns out a little too pink for my taste. What do you think about this new color? Is it a good choice for men?

I really like the look of the original gold now

You have clearly been living in ignorance if you think this is true. The American culture still portrays pink and purple as girl only colors, it's just how it is.

Really? Because in the UK you aren't a real man unless you own at least one salmon pink shirt.

This.
This is exactly why an awful lot of blokes will buy the girly colour phone. So they can show off the "new" phone as opposed to the old one.
If it had been brown, purple or green, the same people would buy it just to be sure others can see they have the new model.

I dislike pink. I'm a girl. I preordered the rose gold though.

My husband used to wear pink dress shirts before he retired from wearing suits and ties to work everyday. Sexy as hell. If a saw a man with the rose gold phone, I would probably think to myself "that's hot"!

Hmm, it's still true today at least in New England. Purple clothes guys can get away with pretty easily, especially if it's a nice purple polo or dress shirt, but pink shirts/shorts?

I'm not against people wearing or buying what they like, more power to them, but they need to know that the vast majority of guys do not buy pink items.
