The iPhone X is expected to be one of the most sought-after Apple devices in years. And with rumors that the device will be in low supply, getting your hands on one in 2017 won’t be an easy task.

If you don’t care about which color your iPhone X comes in though, there’s a clear winner when it comes color preference among Apple fans that plan to pre-order the iPhone X. Cult of Mac ran a poll yesterday to find out what people are planning to buy and were surprised by the results.

Apple fans are overwhelmingly choosing the Space Grey iPhone X over the Silver model. The 64GB and 256GB models in Silver of the iPhone X placed in third and fourth place in our poll.

Silver iPhone X

Only 31% of our readers plan to choose a silver iPhone X. MacRumors had nearly the exact same results in its poll too.

Considering the iPhone X supply isn’t expected to meet demand until early 2018, this could be great news to customers who have their hearts set on the Silver design. Personally, the Silver model looks better to me because it’s evocative of the original iPhone with its aluminum back.

Of course, just because the Space Grey is the most popular color, might not mean it is sold out quicker. Apple might be producing one color more than the other in anticipation of the demand.

iPhone X preorders open on Friday October 27 at 12:01AM. Check out our guide on how to preorder the right way as well as this article on the best deals on the iPhone X.
