AllThingsD Confirms Apple Will Release a Gold iPhone

Personally I don't care what colour Apple offers the iPhone in. They can bring out 12 colours if they so choose.

What I am worried about, which has happened to me before, is when I go to buy the phone I want, that colour is out of stock. This is why I frown on having too many colour choices.

Shops can only stock so many phones in so many colours. I know someone will say that they could still run out of just white, leaving you with only black as an option now, but the chances of you getting 1 or the other goes up with less colours.

I can see this being a problem with the iPhone 5c as well, maybe not so much with Apple Stores, but Mum and Dad shops could have a colour supply issue.

And it's people like you who can only build themselves up by tearing others down.

Who did I tear down exactly? All of Mel Brooks movies could never be made today because people like you are always demanding everything be PC.

Mel Brooks can insult me all he wants. So could you too. Go right ahead. I don't walk around with a stick up my arse.

I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. All I was trying to say is that I associate the gold color with black people. It's not necessarily a bad thing.

Peace

But don't you see, that's like me associating pedophiles with Catholic priests, serial killers with middle aged white guys, and flat asses with Caucasian chicks.

Gold lovers, pedophiles, serial killers, and flat asses are found in all races. I applaud your courage to say you're sorry to anyone you may have offended. It takes a big man to do that. That's more than I can say about others that have posted.

Peace to you too man.....

You leave yourself open to all manner of rebuttal. I'll simply say ignorance is bliss and move on.
 
I may be getting one just to annoy others. ;) Seriously though, it looks pretty good imho, it's seems to be more of a champagne matte finnish, not a high polish "gold" type of gold.

You misunderstood my question:

Why do people say Gold is for Asia?

If anything, I associate Gold with black people.

Both are racists statements. I have seen gold used as a statement of wealth or faux wealth by people of all races all over the world.
 
I am hoping that the gold option is released and is popular, only so that I can get my new black iPhone on release day, without having to reserve or queue. ;)

Gold is only for black people.

They like everything in gold, even their body parts.

This post and others you have posted, are so racist I do not know where to start...

You clearly need to get out and travel more and open your mind.
 
Interesting to read shamesung is now releasing their galaxy gear watch in 'white gold' at a 'later date'.. Didn't take them long!
 
You know that all the pimps will either stand in line themselves to get one or have a "representative" stand in line waiting to get one. :cool:

Yes I own an iPad. Yes I enjoy my iPad (on iOS6).

I'm a graphic designer - colour has a whole lot to do with design. If this forum had black text on a black background it would be bad design as you wouldn't be able to use it.

However the choice of colour for outer casing of a phone is more of a preferential choice and I was merely voicing my opinion. No it doesnt affect the functionality of the phone but if it looks like the mock up then it will look terrible (in my opinion). Don't get upset because you don't agree with my opinion. Design is all about opinion - this is mine.

I do agree with you a Titanium colour may look quite good especially with a matt type finish on the back like the iP5 (I have the 4s in white with glass back).

ROFL

yes indeed a gold iphone would make it unusable, as would the ios7 icons, do you have a twitter i can follow??
 
If this turns out to be legit I will be mortified. Why the F would you release a gold phone period, let a lone an iPhone.

They are clearly targeting the rich yuppy Chelsea retards with this one if it rings true.

Because you notice a few champaign cars doesn't make it a popular color ;) I'm sure the black and white cars out number champaign by orders of magnitudes.

Of course. But Apple already has a black and silver/white phone. So if they're going to do another model of the aluminum phone champagne makes sense. Especially when the low cost phone is getting colors.

I'm still not understanding this line of logic at all. Because you notice a few champaign cars on the road, that makes it a good color choice for North America? If you are going to use car colors as a metric, then silver, gray, or red would be the next best.

Did you not read what I said? Apple already has a sliver phone. I suppose they could do red but since the low cost phones are going colorful Apple probably wanted to leave the flagship device in metallic tones.
