Both men and women are buying the darker hued devices first. Men who dragged their feet to get a device pre-pandemic had no choice but to get pink devices and be the butt-end of the jokes amongst BOTH men and women in their sphere.

That's what every guy says to girls when he had no choice but to buy the last iPhone avaliable lol

I'm curious as to how many Apple products don't sell simply because the Rose Gold devices are usually the last to leave the shelves and I can't count how many times I myself have been told that it was "the laaaast available color." Think the newest version of Rose Gold and the new Starlight tints were the best way to stop customers from feeling slighted by carriers & establishments looking to scalp overages for the demand of more popular colors in comparison.
