iPhone 5S will be available in gold, new 128GB option coming
MG Siegler of TechCrunch got the scoop from some inside sources and tonight declared that a gold iPhone is, in fact, in the works. There are still a few unanswered questions though. Since Apple is expected to unveil two new iPhones next month -- the iPhone 5S and lower-end iPhone 5C -- it might be possible that the gold will only be available for one of them. Traditionally, Apple tends to get more colorful with lower-end products that don't have as much of a premium feel, however a gold iPhone 5S could act as a decent differentiator from the iPhone 5.
In keeping with the theme Apple started in 2012 to have two-tone color options like black and slate gray, it appears the gold will be mixed with a white front panel and white strips on the top and bottom of the back. Personally, I think gold and black would look more sophisticated, but with the overwhelming amount of white present in iOS 7, perhaps black hardware wouldn't complement the white software as nicely.
It'll definitely be interesting to see the feedback Apple gets if the gold iPhone is truly unveiled and if it will be a popular color option among consumers.

Toque Why not diamond?! Apple should complete the challenges for the other devices so they can unlock diamond housings
Apple wants to keep their colors to a small amount.. Black, White and Gold seem fine to me. Diamond may have been a little expensive as well

Wow it actually looks really really good! I always thought white looked the best, guess I have a new favourite now :D

That is the most tacky thing I have ever seen/heard of in my life, and is nothing short of cringe worthy... disgusting.

The new iPhone will not come in gold for sure. Companies have been making gold iPhone 5 housings for months now...

Not only that, there are no logos on it what so ever. If it was an official apple part it would have the logos.
Next, I doubt the new iPhone will come out in a 128gb option unless they kill off the 16gb models and sell only 32gb, 64gb, and 128gb. But it really is pointless to have an iPhone of that storage size especially with Apples emphases on using cloud services.
Just my 2 cents.

Lmao, they already made the product a game of collectibles. Collect all the iPhones and you win a newer iPhone with slightly better features.
