ive seen the yellow at best buy, so i dont think it is, but it does say that on the apple store...?
I recently noticed they are not charging extra for these apple exclusives... Like they did with the Red 4G.
If I had known I would of probably bought the Red, since I think it looks lovely...but Ive grown fond of my silver now....so I may just stick....
The thing that concerns me with my silver is that the paint on the select button seems a little unmatched to the rest of the finish, its noticeable from certain angles...is that normal?
I have until Sunday to return it.

My theory, not that it's trademarked or anything, is that it is a color that they wanted to bring out but were unsure how it would appeal to consumers. I finally saw it in person yesterday and it wasn't bad but it wasn't my thing. I think many consumers may share the sentiment. That being said, if it's an online only deal then they can make less and have less to try and unload at the end of the 5G lifecycle.
I don't think it's marketing, I think it's playing it safe with inventory. When you need to limit supply it's best to control the outlets where it is sold. Instead of having to stock every store with say 100 units you can stock your warehouse with 100 units and push more out as needed.
The difference is that the Red was a special edition. The "exclusiveness" of the yellow (supposedly) just means that it's only sold directly from Apple.
