iPhone XS Max The Gold Xs Max is one of the prettiest iPhones ever.

IMO the gold is gaudy and tacky. The glass is bad enough, but the band is awful. Honestly it reminds me of being a kid growing up in a house of smokers with nicotine stained ceilings.

I agree with you on this one. I do not the color of the band around the phone. Just doesn’t look good. The back is fine, the band.... I much prefer the Silver and Space Gray.

…Looks a little to bold – is it really thicker than the iP 6-8 (Plus)?
 
The space grey looks nice but i would only have got it if it was a touch lighter in color, just too dark right now. also it looks the same as a lot of previous phones, this gold is new and unique. I'm very happy with my choice to get gold. Maybe next phone i'll go with the space grey/black option.

I wouldn't get a color just because of the fact that its new, and by the looks of things, it doesn't look unique anymore since thats what everyone is going for.

White and gold would've been better, but having a gold band with an entire black front looks just awful and cheap. The gold iPhone only looks decent from the back, but as soon as you turn it, that's where it starts looking ugly.
 
My husband didn't approve that I chose the gold when we pre-ordered but when we went to the store, he didn't even recognize it as gold. I showed him the display and asked what he thought and he was shocked that it was more "rose gold" and thought it was going to be gaudy but it wasn't. I think it's gorgeous and love it.

You really can't appreciate it till you see it in person. I walked in with a preorder for a silver and walked out with a gold. Really top notch and it's amazing how unisex a pink and gold phone can be when the phone is so beautifully crafted.

Waiting on my gold to be delivered... Where does the pink come into play??

IMO the gold isn't as classy, timeless and sexy as SG and will never be. All these unboxing and videos of people with their gold iPhones makes me happier that I got the SG. Seems like the reason that most people got gold was because it was the new color and wanted to show off. I don't like the contrast between the gorgeous black screen next to the shiny gold band trim. Looks awful.

Why would I get gold just to show off. I've never had a gold iPhone. I never cared for the look of the other gold iPhone. It might have been the 7. Anyway, I absolutely love this gold color. At least what I've seen in videos. I haven't seen it in person. I do plan on going caseless for a little while not to show my phone off because I want to look and enjoy the color for myself. Otherwise why bother with color.

In direct light, the back - which normally looks more like a beige pearl in low or indirect light - brings out an iridescent pink and gold mixture. The pink is subtle though, which is why I liken it more to beige.

i get bored easily of the same thing. I liked the silver alot, but there was no chance i was going to get silver again, just for the simple fact that i want a change. Speace grey is really nice but there are a few things i don't like about it, and ALL my apple products are space grey. Time for a change.

I wasn’t going to order the gold at first because I’m not into bright yellow SS gold. After the keynote, the videos I watched showed and suggested a deeper copper/bronze/rose gold with the back being a little darker than the gold of the 8/8+ last year. That’s more of what I’m looking for in a gold color.

Patiently waiting on delivery to view first hand.
 
Now that I have received the gold XS Max, I have to agree with the OP - This is easily the most striking iPhone ever produced. The black face and the gold band and backing just work. I like that the gold is a darker, richer gold color instead of the more satin gold of past iphones. The satiny finish looks great with the white screen, but the dark gold is decadent with the black screen.

Now that mine finally arrived I see it does come off a little pink depending on the angle... But either way I like it...
 
Beautiful, but just a bit too glitzy and dare I say it, girlie for me. Sorry, don't mean to be sexist at all. I had the X in silver and loved it, and now have the Xs Max in silver and feel it's a bit too much as well and may swap it out for the black.
