Who got gold?

I wanted a gold 5s, but was stuck with a Space Gray at Launch Day.

Pre-ordered a 128GB Gold 6+. I like the white front with the gold circle around the home button best. For now, I have a red leather Apple case on it.

Funny, I like white on my iPhones, but the white border seems to distract me more when it's on an iPad.

I also have a gold 6+ that is still naked. Been reluctant to put it in a case. The iphone 5 silver I had the white antenna bands on the sides turned blue in a case.

I am afraid that a case will discolor these also. Can anyone using the apple leather cases tell me if the bands are still looking good. Especially if you have the red one.
 
My wife got the gold 6+. I expected it to be hideous, but I think it's beautiful and much nicer looking than my space gray 6+.
 
I had to take gold if I wanted the plus.... I wanted SG... So I settled and put a case on it. Not a fan of the white face but a huge fan of the plus!!!
 
I got gold. I'm not a fan of how it looks naked. However I will have it in a case 100% of the time. I love the subtle amounts of gold peeking out through the case. I think it looks classy in a case but ostentatious naked.

History:

OG iPhone
3G
3GS white
4 black due to low inventory and white discoloration
4s White
5 Black
6+ GOLD BABY

I think the iPhone 5/5s were the best looking black iPhones. The new Space grey really looks more silver. Don't see why people like it so much. My girlfriend originally was getting silver but went with Gold and she is happy. Btw, Gold + midnight blue leather apple case = perfection.

If I do upgrade I will get the gold. I really like this color on the 6 and 6 Plus.
(Have a gold 5S)
 
The 5S is gold did look decent for females to own...

Something is off about this 6 with gold though, might be the white bands and it seems like the gold coloring is different.
 
Hm... i'm still in the processing stage for my 6+ so i'm not sure what colour to get.

History:
3G - white
3GS - white
4 - black (then converted to white)
4s - white
s3 - white (yes i know... i tried android for a year :p)
5s- silver
6 - gold (returned and ordered 6+) I really like the gold but the space grey looks really nice too. Felt space grey would be better for bigger phones.

My order for my 6+ is SG but I feel like i should continue my white phone tradition lol

Who got the gold iPhone 6 or Plus? I got the gold because I've had white and black iPhones in the past and wanted something different. A lot of people are like what the hell is wrong with you that phone is hideous? I think it looks nice.

When the 5s came out I thought the gold one looked really tacky, but I think they tweaked the tone of the gold and it actually looks very nice now.

I actually thought the exact same thing, but I got a gold 6+ on my wife's recommendation, and it looks great. My boss also got a gold 6 and she loves it also.
 
I did. Mine is ATT 6+ Gold.

I fond of the white front. I can't stand the black front. Hence, my option is only gold or silver.

When I look at the 6+ silver in back, it reminds me of the ipad. I would rather avoid that feeling.

No. We both my girlfriend and I felt the 5s was the worst upgrade in apple history. Woohoo a fingerprint sensor that is actually cool, the the same small ****** screen size. Wait we can get gold now ooooo. The 6 plus should have came last year.

If our iPhone 5 was in anyway lacking for our everyday use and it was solvable by the 5s we would have bought right away. But it didn't. The iPhone 5 was and still is a great device. Just the screen is way to small, along with the 5s and 6.

The 5 -> 5s update was such a small update I can't imagine I'm the only one that felt adopting wasn't really worth it.
 
Wasn't sure about the antenna lines on the gold so I ordered my 6+ in Space Gray but when I decided to return the 6+ I ordered the 6 in gold. It looks even better than my 5s. The antenna bands are no that bad.
 
Started off with a SG 6+ and just traded it for a Gold 6+. I've always had black iPhones.........well did have a white one once but never gold. Decided I wanted something different and love it so far. The little touch of the gold Touch ID is nice.
 
Today I changed my iPhone 6 preorder from space gray to gold. Needed a change!

Side note: Went to a concert last weekend and saw A LOT of iPhone 6 units in the wild. The guy next to me with his sleek, sexy, Gold iPhone 6 made him look even more attractive. The curvy edged glass with even visible in the dark concert hall, and it looked amazing! I held up my shorter, slate grey iPhone 5 next to his superior iPhone 6. Needless to say, my device resembled an old lump of charcoal. :(
 
I got the gold because it was the only 6 Plus available in a 1000 mile radius. I mean the only official, for a normal price.

I had the 3G white, 3GS black, 4S white, 5 white, and I love the 6 plus gold.
