I guess the India/China market idea makes sense. Those countries love their golds.
Central European minimalist modernism, which Ive seems to adore, is pretty culturally narrow, appealing primarily to middle class 'design literate' elites. Contrast, for example, the more neon case lights and alien-like contours of a postmodern 'gaming PC' with an iMac. One man's design perfection is another's blandness.
Purist modernism is just one, quite narrow, way of doing design. I think for functional devices like iPhones it makes perfect sense but large numbers prefer a more folksy human feel, especially in architecture or interior design where extreme modernism is often actively despised for its stark, dehumanising quality. It's possible that if Apple want to appeal to all markets all of the time more postmodern touches like chinzty golds or ornament ion for the sake of it may creep in.

But the case design is the same!! How will people know I have the new phone!! /s
I just think the white glass windows doesn't go with the champagne color. maybe a bronze cover?
the truly horrendous thing about the champagne color is that 3rd party vendors will assume consumers want matching accessories.
Imagine a champagne lightning cable?
Or champagne iPhone docks? blecch!
And isn't Champagne Lightning a dancer at Lusty Lady?
On the plus side it looks like all the Jersey Shore types have an iphone just for them. So I can get my regular old black iiphone, and wait in line less hopefully. My current iphone is cracked. Looks like I have to wait a month until I can replace it.

So if there was a champagne lightning cable - how will it affect your life?
And the evil champagne iPhone docks - are they threatening your career or health directly?
I hated the white iPhones from the beginning - but accepted that Apple has to cater to that kind of consumers who want white - mostly girls that put a pink bumper on it to complete the hello kitty-scheme.

I think you missed that I was referring to that guy who said a phone is just electronics.
ok, they dont blend well with the black color, but yes, the white color does a great job hiding scratches.
Some cases have transparent clear backs.
Some cases are just bumpers.
Some are just protective clear films. (me)
Some don't use a case at all.
Isn't Essex the Jersey Shore of UK?Well, Ive is from Chingford which is basically Essex
I've seen the commercials, don't lie.
I feel so much hate for these possible new colors... I think that as long as Apple keeps the original white and black colors in stock, we shouldn't really care if Apple wants to waste some cash into new color schemes that you have to admit some people will like.
