Anyone else? No? Just me?

Used rose gold se 2016 and ipad mini 5, I choose that color. Currently using black iphone because that’s the only color available here.

I got the Starlight Apple Watch, which is the closest to the Rose Gold. I like it more than the Rose Gold though.

I used my wife’s old 6s+ to see how I liked a larger phone. It was the rose gold model. Decided to go Product (Red) with my XR. My M1 iMac is the red/rose gold or pink.

No Rose Gold here, but I do have a Dark Cherry (aka Purple) Smart Folio for my iPad mini.

If I could’ve gotten my M1 MBP, 2018 iPad Pro, or iPhone SE2 in rose gold, I would’ve.

Each to their own, I suppose. Definitely not my taste. I always go for Space Grey.

I seriously considered the gold-ish iPhone this year, to match with a black case, but found it too light. Went with the (also light) blue one instead. Maybe next time.

I have rose gold iPhone SE 1 and iPad Mini 4, though both have covers around them these days.

My XS Max had Face ID issue and I am using my wife’s old Rose Gold 6S. She has a clear cover and so that’s what people see me using.

I prefer the other colors, but if rose gold is what’s in stock when I want something - so I can get it now instead of “in a few weeks” - I’m fine. Phones are going in a case anyway, where they won’t be noticed.

And my iPad Mini is “gold”, which is barely even noticeable in the current generation.

dixonge · November 1, 2021, 4:14pm

so they’ve changed the gold color? Does this mean I have ‘classic’ gold? lol

iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Pro 2018 (edit: iPad Pro 2017. 2018 only has two colors and I went with Space Grey).

Edit: iPhone 5s too!

I’m also waiting for my Pink iPhone 13 mini and my Starlight Apple Watch. Planning to get a MagSafe Wallet in Dark Cherry to complement the color since I don’t use a case. What I love about the Rose Gold is that it’s always available.

The current “gold”, to me, is almost imperceptible unless you’re looking for it and have good light.

I have no problem with pink–pink oxford shirts have been in my closet for years–but I’ve never liked the hue of rose gold and only owned one used phone (a 5S?) I covered with a case. I’m not enough of artist to articulate why rose gold didn’t work for me, but it feels unsubstantial in a fork-on-a-dinner-plate way? I think?

I use Pro line phones but I think the solid pink iPhone 13 looks great.

I have a pink keyboard. But, I’m the only one who ever enters my office. Does it count if a man only does it behind closed doors?

Very very old school topic.

If reworded, could have been a Steely Dan song:

‘Rose Gold Dudes’

I like rose gold. Got no problems with it.

But… black exists. And I really love me some black devices.

curtismchale · November 3, 2021, 7:02pm

Rose gold M1 Air my only complaint is it’s not vibrant enough. But I also regularly rock hot pink socks and have Purple/rainbow (with a unicorn pooping rainbows) cycling gear just because some days feel like a unicorn rainbow day.
