It's exactly as you say, all hype. The only reason the "Gold" is getting so much exclusivity is because the quantity for it is so low and it's a brand new color... but I have seen it in person and anyone else who has seen it in person can tell you that it isn't really "gold"... it's more of a very very dim subdued yellow...

Would you say, urine like?

I originally thought to get the gold, merely because I figured it might be worth the most when it came time to sell. Then the more I thought about it the less I liked a white face, which is all you'd really see with a cover on.

Also kind of got soured on the fact that Apple knowingly only shipped out less than a handful of gold to each store. Really smacks of playing games to create hype.

Store had a 32gb SG in stock, so I pounced on it.

Healthy urine, yes....
 
Starting to consider the silver a bit more now. Space Grey is definitely out as I'm wanting a white front.

Might just get the gold anyway as it looks silver in a certain light; best of both worlds.

Does the silver show scratches less than the gold or is the consensus that both the white versions will show them the least?
 
Just ordered a 16GB space grey. Was going to go with the white/silver but decided to have a change from my white 4S. No idea when it will arrive. :D
 
Got space grey last week but returned it today and got white gold. White gold is amazing and much better than space grey I think ....

How you were able to get at same time the gold one while you was returning your space grey. Coz every one here is just gone crazy about delays in Gold shipping.
 
I'm getting Space Grey. Even though I already have the black leather case for the 5S that covers the entire back (save for the small camera hole), I personally prefer looking at a black face plate that blends solidly with the case as opposed to a white face plate. I guess I have always thought personally that the white was too bright to look at coupled with the screen.

Although, I have seen iOS 7 on a white/silver phone and it does look really good as well.

Got the gold from someone selling on kijiji. Paid 50$ extra .....
 
Never interested in the gold. Was pretty sure I wanted a white/silver. On Saturday, the morning after the initial offering, I got into a short line at my local Apple store and took the only model they had for AT&T - a 64gb Space Gray. I am now VERY glad that they didn't have it in white or I would have one now, and be wishing I'd have gotten the gray.

I love the Space Gray.
 
Gold! I actually like the silver one more. I think it is more elegant, classy, and cleaner looking. Plus it would match everything I already have haha. But gold is the new thing so of course I had to choose it.
 
:apple: Space Gray is the new Black :)

I was actually torn between the Space Grey/Black and the Gold/White, didn't really like White with the Gold and the Space Grey/Black just seems more professional and dare I say a bit more masculine. :apple:

Come to think of it, the Gold/White iPhone 5s would be a great gift for my 80 year old Grandma! :)
 
I was debating between gold and silver for the longest time. Cancelled my gold, cancelled my silver, ordered another silver. I guess i'm happy since I didn't want to match one of my friends :p
 
Just bought the 32 GB Silver / White. It looks so nice! I've always gone for black apple products but I think it's time for a change.
 
Since my g/friend and i are looking for a 5S and she is really charmed of the gold/champagne colour but she wants to see it first irl before she buys, but there is our problem, the thing wont go on sale untill the 25th of this month and the nearest apple store is around the 100KM away.


So, my question, is there a nice MR member here who has the gold one and would like to upload own photo's of it preferred made with normal lighting and circumstances to show the colour?

My thanks would be eternal and i will never forget the one who uploads them.

Thnx.

Order the space gray 32gb model. Received it about 2 weeks ago.
But, regret my decision, and I'm switching it for the silver/white model.
Should be here by Tuesday
 
I got the gold and hubby got the space gray. I love them both, to be honest! Really awesome phones. Yay Apple! :p
