Choosing a color is not an easy task. What is the best color for iPhone and iPad? General appearance outside

The iPhone 6 is far from being a novelty, but the demand for it does not even think of falling; rather, it will stay in the top of smartphones for several more years, gradually becoming cheaper and more accessible. In this regard, the question of what color to choose for the iPhone 6 is not at all an idle whim, but a decision that can be given more time, based on the operating experience of other users.

Let's say you have already decided what size "six" you need - regular or with a plus, so in this article we consider only colors that are the same for both variations. Apple in the sixth model does not spoil the gamut too much, offering its customers a choice of only three iPhone 6 colors: gray, space gray and gold. What is in Russian: gray, space gray and gold.

Gray, also known as silver, and gold have a white front panel, but space gray is as black as space itself!

Consider each color solution in more detail.

iPhone 6 with white bezels

The colors of the iPhone 6 gray and gold, as mentioned above, have white fronts. This moment is extremely important for the perception of both the whole style of the phone from the outside, and the content on the screen by the user. White is a departure from the usual style of multimedia device screens, and for good reason. For example, televisions almost without exception are framed in dark colors, since light colors can distract the eyes from the screen, and this feeling can be reinforced by the habit, expectation of seeing black around the displays.

But that's not new for the iPhone, given that white and silver iPhone 5 colors are available, as well as white and gold iPhone 5S. Many people have used them before without much difficulty, the experience of using the iPhone 6 says the same. But if you only had dark smartphones before, you better try clapping on a model with a white face to see if this style will annoy you.

The white panel signals from afar to anyone that you have a phone in your hands. In addition, the white frame around the screen in some cases looks advantageous. For example, when you surf, work with documents, read. Unlike media content, here the dominant tones are light, and therefore black can stand out and distract with contrast.

But it is worth mentioning that the white front panel does not go well with the screen turned off. Especially if it is patched and scratched, the device may generally seem old and broken.

iPhone 6 with black bezel

Historically, black has become the most popular color for consumer electronics. The reason it hasn't been used in previous iPhone series, including the 6th model, is because it's abnormally difficult to anodize. That is, by the time the iPhone 6 was released, Apple could not yet apply cheap and high-quality on aluminum cases so that they would not peel off. But this is also a version, maybe just marketers did not want to market a model that would be similar to a dozen other black Android smartphones.

But, nevertheless, in the iPhone 6 we see a pure black color on the front side of the space gray phone, which still indicates difficulties with the technical side. This decision made it possible to bring the color scheme closer to the most practical and familiar from the user's point of view.

The black case also looks more monolithic due to the color hiding all the seams and connectors.

Golden iPhone 6

The golden color of the iPhone 6 certainly conveys an aura of success and prosperity, high quality and elitism. On the other hand, someone may consider the golden iPhone too catchy and ostentatious, but this is only until you get to know this color of the iPhone 6 better. Apple designers did a great job with the gold color scheme. Despite its name, it is especially restrained and refined. This is not a catchy "red" golden chain and a fix in place of the broken teeth of a glamorous gopnik. Gold from Apple is calibrated shimmering with high-tech anodizing, which does not even come close to the line beyond which vulgarity begins. Gold color iPhone 6 will appeal to connoisseurs of thin, but at the same time luxurious design.

Gray iPhone 6

The silver color is based on pure aluminum. Transparent top coat and no more treatments. This fact promises minimal visibility of scratches and other damage on the case. The gray coloring of the iPhone 6 is unusually attractive in this sense.

Space Gray iPhone 6

At the same time, the space gray color of the iPhone 6 is the result of anodizing, which means that the appearance is less resistant to wear. The experience with the sixth models showed that all colors hold up great, but if you still want less visibility of scratches, you should choose lighter cases.

Chassis discoloration

Many colors tend to fade, lose saturation over time. The iPhone example shows that this device does not face such a fate. The color of the iPhone 6 stays on the device perfectly and, if you haven't scratched the case, it looks like new. It is worth noting that before the release of the iPhone 6, there were rumors that the delay with its presentation was postponed just because of the work on the color resistance of the case to ultraviolet radiation. Not too close to the truth, but after a while we know that this is not something to worry about.

For case lovers

If you're planning on carrying your smartphone in a case, then choosing the color of the iPhone 6 comes down to a preference for a white or black color panel. It's up to your taste here, or if it doesn't tell you anything, try to think about the above advantages of white and black panels for different types of content. In short, black is games and videos; white - documents, surfing, books. In favor of the white panel is also the fact that in the case of the iPhone, this color is more recognizable.

The frenzied hype for the purchase of the flagships of the American company Apple - iPhone 6 and 6 plus slept a little. Users no longer row everything in a row, available products, but purposefully choose the most suitable option for themselves. And in addition to thinking about which model is better - 6 or 6 plus, you need to decide on the choice of color.

However, Apple is not particularly - then it indulges consumers with the coloristic variety of its gadgets. The color scheme of the case of the new iPhone is limited to three, which have already become traditional, options: space gray, gold and gray, which are offered by the manufacturer for the second year in a row.

iPhone color - the pain of choice

But even such a meager amount makes many people think: “What color of the iPhone case is better for yourself?”. As practice shows, there is no single answer. It all depends solely on the future owner and his preferences. And you also need to say thank you to Apple for having to choose one of the three.

First of all, it is worth noting that the gold and "silver" cases, both in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, have a white front panel, and the "space gray" case is black. Omitting moments like: “black color is most suitable for boys, and golden for girls”, let's dwell on the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Black is always relevant!

It is clear that the iPhone in black (more precisely, in black plus dark gray) is a classic that has been and will be relevant, because of its versatility and practicality. It looks spectacular and stylish, and therefore Apple decided to choose it to represent the entire line in the promotional company.

Also, plus everything, the image on the display, thanks to the dark frames, is clearly shaded and seems even more contrasting and bright. This moment is especially noticeable on the big screen of the iPhone 6 plus.

In "silver" or "gold" - the iPhone is always in great shape.

The advantage of the silver case is that it is not painted - it's just native solid aluminum with a transparent coating, when scratched, the color does not change, and damage will not be so noticeable. What can not be said about the other two options. Although the cases of the new iPhone 6 and 6 plus now have a special anodized finish, which involves deep penetrating painting. This means that Apple gadgets will remain unchanged for a long time, and the colors of the coatings will not wear off over time.

On the gold or silver color of the case, smudges and fingerprints are traditionally less visible. As you can see in the picture below, they are only visible on the shiny Apple logo and the surrounding panel is clean.

But on black, it is not conspicuous, inevitably appearing during operation, dust and dirt that accumulates in the sides around the display and the Touch ID key.

In general, the black iPhone visually looks monolithic. All working holes and buttons are clearly not visible on it, and there is an illusion that it is better protected. And in white, all the elements mentioned above are contrast-graded, and when the monitor is dead, it sometimes looks broken.

Color is not important

As you can see, Apple does not strive for color verification of its products, all the devices it offers already fly apart in an instant. The subjective and minor differences listed above do not affect the functionality and uninterrupted operation of the iPhone 6 and 6 plus.

By and large, you most likely will not see the colors of the rear panel. Since to protect such an expensive gadget, you will definitely get a protective case. Moreover, the cases of both models are overly streamlined and smooth, and therefore simply slip out of the hands. This is especially true for the overall iPhone 6 plus. And the use of a cover makes the original color not so important.

Although, in essence, it's all a matter of taste. So just choose the one you like best, and don't worry about how it will behave during operation, or what others will say.

iPhone - originally conceived as one and only, today it is offered downright for every taste and color. Although, for every taste and color - this may be an exaggeration, but, in any case, at the moment the range of i-smartphones is wider than ever.

The official sale currently includes the iPhone SE, iPhone 6S / 7, as well as the Plus versions of the last two. At the same time, each of the devices is also offered in several colors! And if choosing a model is not so difficult - the most advanced - "seven", lovers of small smartphones - the SE version, but for the rest, in fact - the iPhone 6S; the color is more difficult. Strict Space Gray or catchy Rose Gold? Classic, but spectacular Silver or bright and somewhat controversial Gold?

Well, let's figure it out - what color of iPhone will suit you the most! We will understand on the example of the iPhone 6S.

The iPhone 6S is offered to users in four colors - the first two can be called classic - it is gray, which Apple very beautifully dubbed Spay Gray, which means "gray space" and silver - Silver - which for some reason did not get a special name. Well, okay, this is, in general, not the first, not the last and not the most interesting mystery from the "apple" giant.

What are these two smartphones? Let's take a look at them. Let's start with the back panels.

Do you want an honest opinion of the author? They are almost the same! Yes, yes, according to Apple's idea, one model is conceived as gray, and the second as silver, this is clear, but here we are not talking about the silver that glitters. So in the end it turns out that in fact we have a light gray and dark gray body. At the same time, the shade of “apples” and the unfortunate stripes-antennas, which everyone has been tirelessly scolding for more than a year, are almost identical.

Well, now let's take a look at the "face" of the devices, and here there will be no accusations of the sameness - because Spay Gra y has a black front panel and Silver has a white one. For this reason, the first one looks more monolithic and solid, and on the silver one, the sensors, the “peephole” of the front camera and Touch ID brightly “loom”.

Whether it’s good or bad, everyone will decide for themselves - many, for example, find a white fingerprint scanner framed around the perimeter with a silver edging, an even more elegant solution than a “lost” black without an accent, but someone, on the contrary, will like the invisibility of the latter.

However, we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the white and black front panels - objective and not so much - below, but for now ...

Experiments of the "apple" giant

... let's talk about two more models of the iPhone 6S color scheme, which cannot be classified as classic - Gold - gold and Rose Gold - rose gold. However, you can’t call them experimental either, after all, these colors have been in the lineup for more than a year and they definitely enjoy popularity.

And here, on the contrary, let's start with the front panel. And why? Yes, because, in general, the front surface of both Gold and Rose Gold practically does not differ from the Silver version, the only difference that is not immediately visible is the Touch ID edging - in Gold it casts gold, in Rose Gold it is pink color. All!

But the rear panels are another matter - you don’t have to look closely, it’s immediately clear, “xy from xy”. The silver model is light gray with dark gray antenna stripes, Gold is golden, Rose Gold is pink, and the antennas of the last two are white - by the way, the decision is also very subjective - someone will praise for interesting accents, and someone will scold - “Well, why did you single out what no one likes!”.

Be that as it may, everything related to the back panels, by and large, is not so important for one simple reason - the iPhone 6S smartphone is not cheap, and therefore most users, trying to protect it as much as possible from scratches and falls, put on a case . Well, besides, the range of accessories for i-smartphones is so great that it is very difficult to deny yourself the desire to refresh the device with some interesting case.

But it turns out, of course, injustice - Apple is trying, experimenting with the back of the case, and for the most part it is simply covered with an accessory. However, thank God that, in desperation, the "apple" giant did not decide to make smartphones completely gold or pink, because, in fact, the success of these experimental models lies in the correct dosing. Whatever you say, but working with such colors it is very difficult to find the optimal edge and get something elegant, not vulgar - the "apple" giant turned out great!

Come to the dark side...if you want!

However, if you are one of those who do without covers, the color of the back panel is of great importance to you, as well as the “perception” of motes, dust particles and fingerprints with one or another shade. However, in this sense, all models can be divided into two groups - light, in which they will be - silver, pink and gold, and dark, in which gray will be lonely.

So, what are the advantages of light models? Correctly! Fingerprints on them are not as visible as on the dark one, by the way, this applies to both the front and back panels. In addition ... and no "besides", because here the pluses end. Motes and dust particles will be visible on any light model, of course, to a much greater extent than on a dark one. This is especially true for the "face". Yes, Apple smartphones are all so solid and monolithic, but dust will always find a place to hide, alas! She especially likes to "nest" at the edge of the display and around Touch ID. And this is an obvious problem. If a speck of dust clogs under a black fingerprint scanner, it will be much less noticeable than if this happens with any light model.

And here is the time to remember about the sensors, which are very noticeable on the white panels. Yes, eye-catching Touch ID is a subjective issue, but very few people find the black “holes” above the display of light versions aesthetically pleasing. However, frankly speaking, they do not look such a thorn in the eye - if you do not look closely and find fault, all the elements of the white panel look quite nice. On the other hand, how can you resist the temptation to find fault with Apple? By the way, we apologize to those who did not notice these sensors before, but now do not know how to “unsee”, after a while they will again seem like sheer nonsense to you.

And, finally, one more problem of light models. Look closely at the display and its borders - you will see a narrow thin black border around the perimeter, which the black front panel seems to “erase”, and as a result, the picture literally lies on the surface, which visually feels much cooler.

What is the best color for iPhone?

What is the result? And here's what - if when buying an iPhone 6S it doesn't really matter to you what color it will be, take Space Gray, you will get a practical gadget with a cool effect on the screen (although the prints on it, we recall, will be more noticeable). If you want colors and variety, you can always buy a case.

On the other hand, what if you really want a white front panel? Then forget about practicality, you still need to choose with your soul. Note that the screen of the light versions is just as good as the dark one, it just visually looks a little different. Oh, and don't be afraid of experimental colors - pink and gold smartphones by Apple look very dignified! Although we remind you of the white stripes of the antenna on them, if you are an ardent opponent, gray and silver models will suit you more.

Recently, the iPhone and iPad color line has been replenished with a new flourish: "Pink gold". The new color has become so popular that there is still a huge hype around the world. Buyers are ready to overpay huge money to resellers, just to get the iPhone 6s in this color.

We end up with four colors currently available for purchase: Space Grey, Gold, Silver, and Rose Gold. Many buyers "puzzle" their heads when choosing the desired color, because each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.

If you choose white, then the appearance of an Apple smartphone or tablet will be more stylish and youthful, but on the iPhone and iPad of this color, black frames around the display, light sensors and a front camera will be visible. It is because of these shortcomings that many refuse to choose this color.

The gold coloring does not differ from the white on the front of a smartphone or tablet, but the back of the case looks and feels completely different. The golden color, although in fact it is more like sand, gives the back cover a special look, which, with the release of the iPhone 5s, allowed to further emphasize its individuality.

Rose gold differs from the usual gold color only in a different color of the back of the case. For the most part, the iPhone 6s smartphone purchased in this color allows you to emphasize your status as the owner of the newest generation of iPhone, and the girls like Rose Gold a lot.

When choosing an iPhone or iPad color, it is important to understand a few things. Scratches and abrasions will show up much more on dark colors, so grays will take on a used look more quickly. On the space gray iPhone, the display feels more alive due to the lack of black frames, or rather because of their invisibility.

New colors like "Rose Gold" and "Gold" are tidbits for thieves, as they let them know from afar that they are the owner of the newest and most expensive generation of iPhone. Buying new body parts is much easier for Silver and Space Gray as these are the most popular colors.

The most practical color for the iPhone and iPad will be "Silver". The device in this heyday is equally well suited for men and girls. The second place goes to "Space Gray", which takes its place due to the effect of "picture in the palm of your hand" due to the inconspicuous frames around the display. The third place gets "Gold" and the fourth one "Rose Gold".
