Lol, fat chance. What with Tim's margins and Jony's obsession with 'cruft' we'll be lucky if it has a full alphabet.
I need food to survive, I need water, I need oxygen, I need a house to keep me warm! I don't need a piece of gold on my finger! Selfish vanity such as this is everything that's wrong with the world. Yes, a down vote button would be very welcome...
Gold Finish, Paint, Anodizing, Plating, et al...
It's all highly overrated and meaningless except to those who wish they were rich.
Apple knows this and works its usual marketing expertise to drive demand.
Gold Watch, Gold iPhone, Gold MacBook
Oh please, it's all a bit tacky yet there's no shortage of wannabes. Vanity reigns supreme in AppleLand!

Yeah I know that's why I thought it might look more like those original samsung gears with matte gold finish.
Mark confirmed no OLED in new iPhones. This is absolutely absurd. Apple is becoming the company the haters paint it out to be. Outdated and stale
...the "advantage" is having a real gold watch. If you are only concerned with the look, or people thinking your watch is gold, then sure... spray paint away. People with those hangups and priorities have other issues.
I'd like to see Apple release a solar powered numeric keyboard and trackpad. Considering their emphasis on being green, I'm somewhat surprised this hasn't happened yet.
I've been using the Logitech K750 for over a year now and love it. Even ambient light is enough to power it. Sure, it comes with a wireless usb dongle, but that's at the back of my iMac and a small price to pay for not having to buy, change and recharge batteries.

They're not going to debut an Apple Watch v2 while they're still releasing the v1 in other countries. So not this year.
Not sure how it could be... it'd still basically be a Bluetooth keyboard.
I'm hoping they introduce them as Mac keyboards as well... upgrades for the iMac.
Maybe because some like the color, not necessarily the concept of flaunting wealth or not? The gold and white together look great and is a different thing than the sea of black-colored technology.
I would *love* a backlit keyboard from Apple. I also need (it's beyond preference
) it to be a 10-keyless at the very minimum. Even wireless is totally optional since I use my external KB at a desk, and there's already plenty of wires!(FWIW, I'm currently using a current model wired full size).
Bluetooth with number pad!!! It's so important for so many things. Coders, number bods, even designers need them constantly.
And the arrow keys are actually usable on a full-size!

People in here, tossing around self-righteous vitriol - likely typing it on some unnecessary laptop, phone, or tablet that they opted to purchase rather than "donate" to a worthy charity. The comedy.
The gold AWS, like the gold iPhone or laptops, will be the same price. It's a color option - simple as that.
*kicks soapboxes*

So, you are in a forum about the computers/tools with the highest profit margin, and possibly the most expensive computers on the regular market and say what you said? How so?
You don't need clothes. You don't need a computer. You don't need electricity. Go live with the Amish and donate the rest to charity.
Oh, and giving money is overrated. Important, but overrated. Give time and skills; go volunteer or work in the non-profit world for a lower wage.
Just out of curiosity, why wasn't a number pad included with the wireless keyboard from the get go?
The only problem is Apple prices the Gold Edition 50x the price of Sport for only the metal being different. I'm sure the gold in it is not worth the price difference.
... Just give me a wireless keyboard with a number pad.
I don't care about color, I don't care about batteries vs. rechargeable, I don't even care about it being backlit.

For the same reason some people spend five figures on a real Rolex instead of a couple hundred on a fake one.
Some people want the real thing, and they don't care what others think about it.
