“Tired of Apple offering iPhones solely in black or white? If photos obtained by MacBoutic are accurate, you’ll get some variety soon… and some bling, for that matter,” Engadget reports.
Yes, it’s a champagne gold-colored iPhone! iPhone 5S, to be exact:
This matches “predictions from KGI analyst (and frequent AppleInsider tipster) Ming-Chi Kuo,” Engadget reports. “While it’s difficult to verify the snapshots when MacBoutic has erased all logos, this doesn’t look like an aftermarket project…”

Imagine. If Samsung copy this.
Plastic Gold!
I guess you could say that it’s… Fools gold. 😉
Dang, if I read your post I wouldn’t have listed mine. But great minds think alike!
If Samsung copied it, it would be ‘Fools Gold’!
Two words–simply awesome !
Yes, I do realize that ‘gold’ is the new silver and the current trendy color in Hollywood and the fashion world for accessories and things like ray-bans, watches, etc..
It makes sense that this could carry over to an iPhone too, but I m calling this a bogus rumor only because Gold is about the worst color to match with the new pastel palette introduced in iOS7. I just can’t see Jony Ive approving the gold and pastel combo.
Er, you do realise that this is the back of the phone?
When holding it and using it, you look at the front, not the back.
In any case, when are people going to wake up to the fact that once iOS 7 has been customised by its users, apps moved, added placed into folders, wallpaper changed to completely different designs and colours, it’ll look nothing at all like the stock, vanilla version. The so called ‘sissyness’, as the more idiotic trolls have said, will completely disappear, and as far as the champaign colour is concerned, who’s going to see it anyway, once a case has been put onto the phone.
This particular colour was what hifi equipment came in, back in the eighties, particularly Sony, Marantz, and Pioneer, before they all went black and silver. It’s nice to see it being resurrected for a quality piece of equipment.
It doesn’t matter. Apple design their products as a WHOLE design. Front and back, hardware and software, it is a complete thought. Gold and pastels DO NOT match. Apple/Jonny Ive wouldn’t do it.
I’ll take mine like a Model T – any color as long as it’s black.
I hope the gold one has a premium price increase. Don’t want just anybody getting one. My wife has a 4S, a nice gold 5S would be great for her. I’ll take black or white. Not fussy, just get them to market please.
Did someone say…’shahm pain ya’?

Perfect. I was just about to ask if a line of Apple smoking jackets would be coming out as well.
Ready for the Chineese market.
No doubt! The nouveau riche can’t buy enough into the illusion of wealth.
Looks like something assdumb fool Hussein would buy. Would work with the fscking dice hanging down from the rear view mirror in the First Cadillac.
Or maybe someone prefers gold to black or white. Why read into it something that is inherently negative?
I don’t want one. Buy what you like but I think gold is naff.
Hideos
Hideous 😉
Vielen dank.
“Vielen Dank.” Dank is a noun.
That is the one I will be getting to replace my iPhone 5.
Personally I think it’s horrible, but I’m sure it’ll sell well in Dubai.
It probably would fly in Dubai with the “poorer” but the rich always want the real deal. 24kt perhaps?
I want one made in Kryptonite.
As long as I can get a fuzzy dice case for it, I’m sold!
may i have a pizza?
Ah, yes, Rumourville. Guaranteed to rIse a smile. Useful to pass the time for those on the dole, and relief for those suffering from a dearth of royal baby stories
MDN, I’d prefer a picture of Marisa on the red ball
I can hear Samsung’s copiers are hard at work at this moment!!
Yeah. They are now preparing Gold Note3 and S5
…get ready for the avalanche of gold-colored devices!!!
(terrible!)
Looks so tacky but the Chav’s here in the UK will love it.
It will be the must have phone to have on the council estate or what to buy with their benefits
yuck, if any one had doubts about steve jobs being dead.. well now you know.
I will hold off judgment on the gold color to see if it really happens. Seems a bit odd. As one person wrote, it doesn’t blend with the new pastel line of colors that is supposedly coming. Although the pastel colors seem to be for the 5C. I’ll stick with Henry Ford black.
Now if they threw some hot-rod red on it….😛
Looks like the picture have been modified for the brushed aluminum to look gold….
