Looking Closer at the New 12-Inch MacBook’s Rose Gold Finish

In quick succession, the rose gold color of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus has spread to first the 9.7-inch iPad line, and now the 12-inch MacBook. We put the new notebook’s rose gold finish under the magnifying glass, and suggest where this color option could be headed next…

In fact, another news outlet, AppleInsider, has already scrutinized how the latest color option for the 12-inch MacBook fares visually. As with last year’s model, it’s possible to buy an up-to-date MacBook in space gray, silver or gold. However, click through to the various photos that AppleInsider has taken of the rose gold alternative, and you could be surprised by how tempted you find yourself…

That’s because, far from appearing tacky, this new MacBook can actually look quite cool and subdued under soft light. And, when more light does shine on it, the color can really pop – in a good way. It’s reassuring, then, to know that the iPad Mini 5 could be next in line for the rose gold treatment.

If, however, it’s specifically a rose gold Mac that you want, the 12-inch MacBook is your only option… for now. Pick up our new issue – by subscribing through the free AppleMagazine app for iOS – and you can read much more about this new MacBook, including what’s actually in its beautiful enclosure.
