Absolutely not! It's target market is men that are all muscle, weight 250-300 lbs, 6' 5" or tall and work in professions such are pro boxer, M.M.A. Fighter, NFL lineman and WWE Superstar wrestler! When they show off their rose color iPhone; all will say it is very nice! LOL!

Here is rose gold against gold in the middle and white gold on the outside. It is a soft creamy pink.

I'm sorry I didn't do that. But I will tomorrow. My impression is no. It feels like you'll have to hold down the dock.

Re: Rose Gold vs Gold (iPhone 6S)

I don't think it's too pink.

I really don't think it's very pink at all. I have a rose gold Apple Watch Sport. I'd call it peach more than I would pink. There's too much orange in the base color to call it pink. The pinkishness just comes from the way light hits it.

No it's pink it'd a soft creamy pink but it's definitely pink.

I think just like with yellow gold, lighting will absolutely have a profound effect on the hue. And while at times it may look even 'copperish', the pink is most certainly going to appear as well.

By the way the phone does NOT lift easily off the dock. And if you want to lift it one handed you need to use your pinkie to leverage.
It also does NOT work with an Otterbox Symmetry case.

It's pink in that rose gold is a pink gold.

I just think to say it's flat-out pink is inaccurate, as that seems to deny the existence of the warmer, yellow and orange tones that are present in the color. That's why I think of it as peach: orangey and pinkish all in one.

But it's not peachy. It's a warm pastel pink.

Back in my Miami Vice days I wore some pastels.

This is pastel pink:

There's no/very little yellow or orange in that.

Pastel pink would be the pink leather of the band on the stainless steel Apple Watch.

My friend thinks this is a case of black/blue versus white/gold all over again, as she doesn't think it looks pastel pink at all, either.

Have you held the dock in your hand in natural light?

I have a rose gold Apple Watch Sport in my possession, and I have worn it on my wrist in natural light. To my eye as well as the eyes of others who have seen it, it does not look pastel pink at all.

It's beautiful, but it's not pastel pink.

It's also useless, as I won't have an iPhone until Friday the 25th. :crying:

I haven't seen the watch so I can't speak to it. But there isn't a hint of yellow in the dock, which is required for peach.

Again. Blue/black versus white/gold.

Whatever color it is, I just want to have it already so that there will be more to talk about than just the color.
