Which color of the iPhone X is the best to buy?

[anon(5630457)]

There's literally only two colors to choose from--silver or space gray. Silver doesn't show fingerprints as much as space gray, but if you use a case, that's moot anyways.

Good morning
I wanna buy iPhone X
What color is the best
Thanks

Can't really say what the best one to buy is but the one I preferred was the Space Grey. So that's what I bought.

I personally preferred Space Gray. Can’t go wrong with either.

Well, I have read around here that the Space Grey’s ss band is a little more scratch resistant so objectively, that could matter in selecting a color, especially if you’re not planning to use a case.

It’s probably due to the coating, just like the Space Black SS.
But there are reports of the coating diminishing over time.

I have the space grey and my wife has the silver. They both look fantastic. As others have said try to get to an apple store or other retailer and look at them. You really can't go wrong with either of them.

If you’re going to put a case, color won’t matter because they both have black front color.

Unless you have one of the many clear cases or cases with clear backs. Both colors are attractive and I’m still not sure which I prefer.

There is something very classy about the silver. It’s rich in its colours. The back is this milky colour that is pleasant and the ‘surgical’ steal, of course is great. I’m glad I have both but if I could only have one I think it would be the silver...and that’s a change for me. I normally prefer space grey.

I have owned both colors and either one works well, for me it depends on the case I am using, right now I have the silver and really like it more.

I had one of the space gray phones that the PVD coating began to literally flake off. I took it back to the Apple store and the manager gave me a new replacement. It was seriously the weirdest thing ever and the manager couldn't believe it.

I got the silver one as it matches up real good to my original iPhone 2g. See my profile pic.

Oh my. I seriously hope that is a unique experience.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Space gray is nice but the overall look of the silver is just nicer looking, in my opinion.

I wonder had they made the gold option for the X like they did for the 8 Plus if the borders would be a shiny gold stainless like the silver or a brushed look like the space gray.

Gold would have been a great colour for the X and I hope we see it next generation.

I'm sure this year's new X (or X Plus) would have a new color. If Apple still sticks with silver and space gray, it'll be boring.

I have a feeling they’ll release a gold color.

Gold back with a black front, I'd really like to see that.

It would be a nice combo

I don't think it matters at all. The front is all screen.
