This...
...changes everything all over again.
Whilst I like the look of it, let's not pretend this is innovative. I hope they've done enough testing on the thumb print unlock mechanism. That could be a right clanger if it doesn't work for say 5% of people ("You're holding your thumb wrong!")...another potential antenna gate.
I have another year on my contract, and am still on a 4S and will not be upgrading until we get a bigger screen (especially width) than the iPhone 5.

It doesn't look bad. But why not have the apple logo be reflective gold, rather than black? That is the only tacky part about it.
I'm Still Skeptical.
Why do we see finished black/slate and white/silver iPhones but only an unfinished gold/champagne chassis here?
On top of that, the finished models have regulatory markings, the gold/champagne "model" does not.
I'm not convinced this is the real deal here.

The white and black are normal iPhone 5's the gold is a 5S - obviously going to have a different font with apple moving to helvetica neue /light.
It's a bloody new colour! Are you seriously suggesting that Apple should stay with the same colours forever, because a new colour is not "innovative"? I mean if new clothes designs were only allowed if they were "innovative", we would still wear the same clothes as 100 years ago.
I think it's a subtle hue that fits in with the lineup.
I'm happy to see that top designers at Apple didn't have a stroke after all.

I'm pretty sure the Apple logo is a mirrored finish like the current gen iPhone. Almost surprised we haven't seen any fingerprint sensor leaks yet. That's what I'm most excited about!
I didn't say that anyone said it was.
It's just that the hype around a new colour is just ridiculous. If that's what all the talk is about, and believe me, a decent portion of the September 10 event will be about the new colour(s), well that is a sad state of affairs for Apple IMO.
There's a protective back on the white one.
Someone should do a scratch test on the gold 5S to see if it is still as nick-able as the 5.
