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.

That is quite a large amount of memory for an iphone, I don't see how people even fully use 64-32gbs.

Apple really has ran out of ideas. They're fish out of water at this point. They know they are slowly but surely losing to Android. Fingerprint Scanning on the next phone? Wow, that's really gonna put them ahead. A gold phone? MY GOD. SO COOL. 128GB Storage options? Congratulations, took you guys long enough.

If they are adding more colours, surely they should have done what they did with the iTouch and added a broader range? I think Gold might look tacky if they don't get it right.

Looks really nice, would be cool to have it, will probably cost a lot more than usual..
