Can't decide between white or gold. Is there a side by side pic or vid anywhere?

I think I’m going with Sky Blue (I’m a guy). I also think the white and gold look good, Im honestly having the hardest time just picking a colour this year than any other year. Every hands on video I watch makes me think they all look good (except the black doesn’t appeal to me) and I can’t decide! No clear winner.
In all past years, the colour never took me more than a minute to decide.

I hate to do this but, I am going to have to pull rank and ask my fellow MR members to hold off on their Air order tomorrow morning until I get mine placed asap. I appreciate your understanding on this very Airy matter.

I am ok going naked with the black model. Even though AC+ is $139 / yr, I hope I don't end up needing it. I just can't see myself putting a case on the Air. I use my 16e (white work phone) naked and it still looks new.
I hear ya. The phone does look gorgeous and that’s judging through pictures. I imagine in person it’s even way better.
I can't believe we're talking about whether the Sky Blue is a "boy color" or "girl color" 🤨
Anyway, I'm leaning toward Sky Blue, but I do want to see it in person first. I never pre-order my iPhone and I'm even less likely to do so this year when I'm on the fence about all three phone model options. I'm leaning toward the Air, though. And I often tend to get whatever new color is introduced (since this is a new model entirely, that doesn't really apply to the same extent, but Sky Blue does seem to be the featured color).

Thank you for posting this. I was looking for something like this and couldn’t find anything. They all look good. I do think the black looks the best but I’ll be going with white. I think I could use any of these and be happy.
Sorry @Apple_Robert, I’ll be attempting to preorder as soon as they allow but I’ll be going with white and I see you’re going with black (great choice by the way!), I think the servers should support both of us ordering at the same time but different colors, so if everyone else can hold off until we get our orders in that’d be great, thanks!
Thank you. It seems in some light the gold and white look completely different, then when he holds them up, the back looks the same.
I’ll be rocking my space black naked with AppleCare+ if the worst ever happens.
Apple are touting it as more durable than any previous iPhone.
It’s been made to be used naked 😀
Yikes. I've been thinking the polished black coating will be more prone to visible scratches than any of the others, and that the white rails are probably most similar to the titanium underneath, and this less scratches will be visible?
What do you think? (I don't and won't be using a case)
Thank you for sharing this! This is exactly what I was after - and it's made my (personal, no offence to anyone who subjectively prefers another decision!) decision to change from blue to black much easier.
I think the colors are pretty safe, I would have liked at least one “bold” offering.
Sky Blue was my pick. I was debating that versus Space Black. My main issue since I’m rocking it without a case would be the polished titanium and back would be prone to fingerprints and oils.
The blue option is more of a cool white, which I’m totally fine with.
Are the rails the same between the non black colors? I can’t tell for sure and haven’t seen anyone mention it.
Have Space Black on pre-order, but dreading the fingerprints (you can see it in Saf's video). Not sure whether to switch to Sky Blue.
Just take the L and goWe're not talking about universal truths. Just common dress sense. Most men don't have an eclectic style so won't want a pastel accessory.
Some men, usually younger men still working out what suits them, do look much more expressive and will go for all kinds of colours. All your items you've listed and their colours - none of that matches. So you're clearly not concerned about getting out of a yellow car in funky blue sneakers while swinging your purple PS5 pad over your shoulder. All good, but no one will consider you put-together as we say in the UK.
Nothing profound about any of that, and yes men will wear pastel shirts on occasion, but very rarely buy any pastel accessories as men usually have many shirts, but very few accessories - so the accessories tend to need to match more outfits.
But again, I'm talking to someone who buys ON sneakers so I guess there's absolutely no chance to see eye to eye here. Do they have even one decent running shoe
I’ve gone with black as personally think it looks very sleak in that colour
Disappointed they’ve gone with a pastel sky blue as I wanted this, I just think it’s going to look white 95% of the time and only appear blue at certain angles

Did apple mention anything about the black coating? Is it still the same PVD as other black devices? I'm worried about marks on it. One of the nice things about pure polished metal is any scratches you get can be polished out with a cape cod cloth. If the black coating is weak it will show marks and not be concealable.
