The iPhone Xs and Xs Max are finally here, and boy do they deliver. Apples top-of-the-range handsets are big, beautiful and better than ever. As ever with Apple, aesthetics are a big part of the package, and colours a big part of aesthetics. So what finishes are the iPhone Xs and Xs Max available in?

Unlike the multihued madness of the iPhone XR (hello blue, yellow, red, coral, white and black), Apples keeping things pared down and luxe for the iPhone Xs and Xs Mac. The handsets will be available in three colours: Silver, Space Grey and, for ultimate resplendence, Gold.

Weve gone into analysis mode, bringing you everything you need to know about the available colours of iPhone Xs.

A classic beauty. The Grace Kelly of iPhone colours. You cant really go wrong with a silver iPhone. Yes, theyre slightly more vulnerable to scuffs and scratches. But think of the style longevity! Youll likely be touting this well into the latter half of the century.*

*Legal disclaimer: this is hyperbolic.

Like silver, but sultrier, Space Grey is just Apples way of saying dark silver. The latter proffering is exactly why I dont work in marketing. Anyway, Space Grey is to Silver what Ryan Gosling is to Ryan Reynolds: darker, less clean-cut, ever-so-slightly more alluring, and able to raise just the right amount of eyebrow.

More monied millennial than street dealer, although, to be fair, the latter is probably less obnoxious. Dont go buying a gold iPhone unless youve got some serious BDE. It takes a hell of a lot of chutzpah to pull this bad boy off.

…and thats all, folks! Be sure to read our full coverage of the iPhone Xs and Xs Max, along with its entry-level counterpart, the iPhone XR.
