this thread has likely been done with 5/5s/SE 16+64, but now that 32+128 SE dropped, there may be an onslaught of new users (and people getting the 16/64 models, too on sale)

So which is it?

Space Gray. The black antenna makes all the difference to me, versus the white banded antenna, which I find distracting.

im a gold person myself, and sometimes I get exhausted of the bright white bezels, but I also really like it as a switch up to my matte black 7+

:D

and I like how it shows off ALL of the body and its appearance, its not slender looking like the black (which I like a lot on my 7+)

easier to find the little bugger too

and the gold is like a chameleon in lighting, which I enjoy

I also had a slate iphone5 on and off for 2 years so I felt it was time to switch it up by this go round

stayed all black for 6+/6s+/7+ doe,

also I like seeing the Touch ID (tho stealth mode on 7+ is nice) ring, and last of all, wish it was more immersive but then I wonder how immersive can a 4" screen be? gaunt-y is kinda fun

Rose gold and white. It's very pretty! :)

I actually really like Rose Gold. That said, I don't mind an antenna band, it's just how thick the white antenna Band is on the SE. It's off-putting to me. I actually think Rose Gold will be my next iPhone color, if Apple retains it as an option for the iPhone 8.

I currently own the 7 Plus in Gold.

Nice we're ying-yang on the SE/7Plus color choices haha

Surprised by rose gold preliminary popularity :D

It is nice. Looks cooler than 6s rose gold imo

I don't own an SE, however, I do have a 5S (no longer in use). When I compare the colors of the SE, Space Gray just looks phenomenal. The 6/6S Space Gray has more of a flat look, and much less gradient-like when compared the 5S and MacBooks.

Space Gray. I had a white/silver iPhone 5 and it was nice but I prefer the darker one. And my iPhone 6 was space gray as well. I'm hoping Apple secretly updated a couple other components in the SE to make it subtly better. It would not be the first time that would have happened.

May trade the 16gb SE for a 128gb one. My son uses it mostly in the car as a media device so the extra storage would be nice when data isn't available. Currently rose gold but would probably go black.

I'm still the only one with gold in this poll :D

I was going for self expressive individualism with my gold SE and that I got

Interesting about space grey SE a shade lighter than space grey 5s not something I had known

I got a rose gold too. Might not be the first choice for other guys to pick, but i was bored by the "classic" colors.

If possible i would like to have metallic green, blue or bronze.

On the other hand i really don't care that much about a phones look, since i use a case all day.

I actually like the rose gold SE (over the 6s/7 RG). If space gray didn't exist, I probably would have gotten rose gold. Especially when silver and gold really don't do anything for me.

I got the silver. I normally go space grey but I got a silver and gold with receipts from a couple that dropped their 6s & 6s+. Obviously the SE's were a cover for repair time. After I sell the gold the silver will have cost me very little. Only 3 weeks old. ☺️

Must say as a space grey for everything guy the silver is a nice change.
