Most Popular iPad Colour

I may be receiving a new iPad. I don't need or want it, so I'd probably resell it. The specs probably don't matter much for my question, but they are:

  • 128GB iPad
  • 9.7-inch Retina display
  • A9 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture
  • Touch ID fingerprint sensor
  • LTE/4G
  • WiFi

Anyway, I have a choice of three colours. I'd appreciate people's opinions to find out what the most popular colour would be, so it has more chance of selling.

So for those that already own one, what colour did you choose (or which colour would you change it to if you could)? And for those that don't already own one, which colour would you choose if you were to buy one?

I summarised this info from a website:

Space Gray (black) - is the preferred choice for watching media or playing games. The black front bezel makes the video or game colours stand out. Black also hides dirt and grime for folks who use their iPad in less than clean conditions.

Silver - is very light in color with a white front bezel and light-grey aluminum back. Silver hides scratches and other deep blemishes, but white is notorious for showing dirt.

Gold - is similar to silver with a white front panel and light colored aluminum backing. So gold also conceals flaws while showing up dirt. It is a striking colour many people prefer.

Thanks for reading.

  • Space grey is usually the color that an iphone or ipad sells out first during a pre-order.

  • That is the older version of the iPad.

    • Do you mean the newest model doesn't come in space grey? Or just that space grey sold out first in the previous model? (Or something else, lol?)

      • The 9.7 inch version. If I was buying one I would get the 10.5 inch one.

        • Ordered it today… 128GB, 9.7", Space Grey. (It's free. I'd have to pay for the larger size.) ;-p

        • @GregMonarch: Enjoy your toy. "One of us, one of us,…"

        • @try2bhelpful: Thanks, but I want to sell it actually, lol. (It comes as part of a telco bundle.)

          Man, ebay are such THIEVES… Greedy people list them higher, but past auctions show they regularly sell at $550 + about $10-$15 postage (for combined WiFi & Cellular models).

          ebay fees = 10.9%! About $59 !!!

        • @try2bhelpful: Yikes: Officeworks = $799! No wonder people are buying them on ebay - still new, but $560 compared to $800.

  • People make a big deal on whether the front panel is black or white but honestly, u wont even notice it when using. I've used white phones and tablets for a long time and it never bothered me in any way.

    • I prefer the black to the white for the face. I really don't care about the back cover as I put the phone/pad in a cover anyway.
