“Yes, there will be a gold iPhone,” MG Siegler reports for TechCrunch.
“That’s the latest I’m hearing from multiple sources after several weeks of rumors and possible component leaks suggesting the same thing,” Siegler reports. “At first, I couldn’t believe Apple would break from the tradition of offering the simple choice: black and white (or “slate” and “silver” if you prefer for the iPhone 5) for their flagship device. Gold simply seemed too gaudy, perhaps even tacky. But a few compelling arguments countered my disbelief. And now, upon checking, sure enough, there will be gold.”

Excellent, indeed.
In other, unrelated news, the Samsung Galaxy S5 will be offered in a Gold-colored casing
Just remember, the Samsung Galaxy S models all have removable plastic backs, so they can easily come out with a replacement gold plastic back and say their smartphones are also gold just like the iPhone.
Fool’s Gold, that is…
“I get no kick from champagne. Mere alcohol doesn’t thrill me at all.”
It makes little sense, but whenever I hear the news media talking about the champagne-colored iPhone, it takes me back to Blazing Saddles. I know the news media hates the idea of a gold- or champagne-colored iPhone and their attitudes about any iPhone product is obviously subdued to the point of boredom.
Go back for a roll of Dimes! 🙂
