Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The gold-colored iPhone, as well as any other gold-colored metal item (e.g. pen, watch etc.) is permissible for men to keep and use as the items are simply gold-colored and do not contain real gold.[1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
