I’ve had many colours over the years but I’ve always wanted a purple iPhone. Now it looks like one might be coming, but I won’t be buying as I promised myself that the XS Max would last me 4-5 years.

3GS - white
4S - white
5 - white
5S - gold
6 Plus - silver
6S - rose gold
6S Plus - silver
8 - space grey
XS Max - gold
 
Earlier iPhones I only would go with a light color so the bevels were white. I think that’s a cleaner look when compared to black. However, with the iPhone X it didn’t really matter to me since the screen is the same and I use a case.
 
I normally go for black or grey phones, however when I saw the blue XR I just couldn't resist. Brilliant colour, I just wish I could have had it with a stainless steel bezel.
 
The color you didn't list is pink. I loved my pink se but the didn't have pink with the iphone X. But if they ever did come out with another pink one I might then consider upgrading. I love pink. Now I am just content to have a pink case and a pink picture
 
My 8+ is (PRODUCT)Red so I cannot answer the poll question, since you left us out. My previous 6s+ was silver.

Not a very well done poll, with so many options left out.

Red was listed

This topic was based on the recent phones not the older ones but still even if you have older iPhones the colours they were is still an option with the poll.

I did not buy an XR. You limited the scope of your poll, not me. You left out the red 7 as well. You did not indicate "choose the closest match" and for multi-generational colors such as silver, you simply listed the color. You were specific in your poll, and thus my response is correct and proper. "If you have an XR" is very clearly limited to that model.
 
3GS - Black
4S - White
5S - Space Grey
6S Plus - Gold
7 Plus - Black
X - Silver
XS - Silver
 
I have stuck to black ever since the times of the iPhone 3G (well guess the original iPhone doesn't count since you could only choose one color for it ;))
 
Historically always went with black / space grey. Had a change for the iPhone 7 and picked silver but really didn’t like the white front plate after a while. To me, it made the screen seem smaller.

For the XS, I went with silver, though, because I love the colour of the back and the stainless steel band and it has the same front as the space grey variant.
 
I was partial to white from like 3G onward. Then with 5S and after Space Grey. With 7 I started picking the color the phone looked best in...

iPhone 7 - Space Grey
iPhone XS - Silver
iPhone XS Max (current) - Silver

I plan to stick to this strategy going forward.
 
Space grey, typically. I'm open to all other colors, and would not mind either a nice shade of red or blue.
 
With the bezels essentially gone, the color of the phone has meant less to me than ever given I use a case.

That said, this could change for me come September. If Apple does indeed go with a triple lens camera, and renders are even close to being accurate, I’ll 100% go space grey as I feel the large black camera lenses will stick out immensely on the lighter color(s) offered.
 
I always go black/dark colours. They are boring and I yearn for white, silver, and other colous...but I always end up exchanging or returning those for black phones.

What if the lens housing is colored as the most recent renders have shown.

This is along the lines of what I was thinking. Have you seen something different? I’d be curious to see if so. If, huge if, they look like this, I think I’d prefer the lenses to blend more like they do on the space grey.

I prefer all black with a black case that’s all. Why would I want people to know I have an iPhone in your opinion?
Your post sounded like you were ashamed of having an iPhone, not just neutral. You wouldn’t necessarily have a reason to set out to let people know you have an iPhone, but it’d be quite odd to be ashamed of it.
