The Gold iPhone is easily the ugliest

The OP is just expressing his opinion, I see nothing wrong with that. I think Gold/Rose Gold would look nice with a black bezel, but as-is I'm happy with Space Gray to match my Macs.
You're that pre school kid who claims if someone's favourite colour is not blue they're obviously a poo-poo head.
The imbalance of black and white bezels is somewhat annoying. I got the Gold 5s and lived with white until I upgraded to the 6s+, during which time I started to prefer black as seen on Macs. Happy with Space Gray now, though I was expecting to get the darker version seen on the rMB and new iPod Touch.
Gold with black bezel would actually look great.

Fair enough, I don't agree with starting a thread just to provoke arguments.
Both gold and pink color are designed mainly (or just for) China market, Apple really said it, you can google it. The gold one is definitely 100% just for China market, those rich no education Chinese love it so much!
Did you mean to say you find the white face boring? Because the space gray's back is only a shade or two darker than the Silver version. I'm still in the camp hoping for an all black front and back iPhone like the 4 series. Not the weird, it's almost black, slate color we got with the 5, but "black" black. To me, the 4 was their best design. I hate that all those people who sucked at using their hands ruined it for the rest of us.
I got a gold 6s to replace my silver 6. Silver is still my favorite, but I didn't want the new phone to look identical to the old one, and gold is pretty close . In fact, I put the new phone in the same case as my old one. It's almost exactly the same look, but the ring around the home button is gold instead of silver.
I got really tired of black phones, and rose gold just looks pink to me.

Au contraire. I had a silver 6+ and bought a silver 6S+. I even had a silver iPhone 5. I find black phones dull, gold gaudy and rose gold is for, erm, girls. Each to their own though, that's why choices exist.
No space grey is boring. It's as dull as dishwater.
I've said this many times and I will say it again here - an iPhone is not an investment. It's a tool. Buy what you like. If you make money off of it later when you sell it, great. Never understood why people buy a phone with "investment principles" in mind. Same with cars.
Kinda agree. I switched to silver with the 5S and loved the shiny edges with the white. Looks very clean and fresh. I used to be all about the black phone until they came out with space grey which I don't like. With the 6 up, I still like the silver, just not as "shiny". Don't like any other colors. The Rose Gold is my second choice.
I loved my gold 5s for the time I had it. But it was time for a change and I got the space grey 6s.
I try to pick a different color every year knowing that I can always return it if I don't care for it once it arrives. This is the first year I returned an iPhone that I got on launch day due to the color that I choose. I ordered the Rose Gold and while I myself didn't care too much for it, I would never put someone else down because they like it. Everyone's color preferences are diffent. What a colorless world this would be if we all liked the same color...
I sort of agree with the OP, though not with the way the point was made.
Gold is IMO a colour of small, precious items. Plastering it across the back of a large phone is a bit OTT. BUT! Most people use a case so my Gold 6S+ looks great with a midnight blue leather case, with just a little glimpse of gold.

Ive had space gray for awhile and I found it boring .. I feel silver is the classiest .. but that is just my opinion
I feel the reverse after having the silver iPhone for the past 3 years I have become bored with it. I tried Rose Gold but didn't care for it. So I just placed an order for the Space Gray 6S Plus a few minutes ago.
