When I saw the mock ups of a Gold/Champagne iPhone, I was quite skeptical about the whole idea. But having seen these leaked images, I must say, I love what I see. However, I'm still not sure if this color will blend in with iOS 7.

Moreover, do you guys think Apple would've taken care of the scuffgate issue with the 5S?
 
Better than gold but far worse than either the current black or white. It's more "cream", like the color old people have everywhere, and the color every wall and piece of furniture in England is painted. Not my idea of modern, minimalistic, neutral, stylish or sleek. More like bijou, wannabe elegant and rich, no sense of style, old fashioned.
 
New gold back = AWESOME!!!!!!!!

If it has mismatched white bars along top & bottom, instead of same coloring like current offerings = SUCK!!!!!

-my two cents

I have a feeling they don't care. Having the worst impression in your mind only makes this look even better. Or maybe they never thought people would actually believe they'd release a bling bling gold phone.

Lol @ "bling bling". I think my grandmother used that term once....... in 1997. We all laughed at her, then kicked her in the shins for making such an ass of herself!!!

Yeah, I'm curious as to what they are going to do with the glass part as well.
 
:eek:
The golden one looks so good and elegant. I will definitely buy one.

this is what I mean by tacky. People are already begging for a copper colored one!
There simply is NOTHING tackier than copper colored with the possible exception of faux bronze. And this "champagne" colored version is a slippery slope.

I was actually hoping we would be getting more ipod-esque colors like a nice saturated red, blue and green. Instead the new color is an insipid yellow.
 
Looking better here...

Definitely like this better then the other mockups that have come out. Unlike the gold ones, this is one that I would buy.
 
I didn't say that anyone said it was.

It's just that the hype around a new colour is just ridiculous. If that's what all the talk is about, and believe me, a decent portion of the September 10 event will be about the new colour(s), well that is a sad state of affairs for Apple IMO.

You are the one who's in sad state. Lots of people will be happy including apple.

I want one in leather and Product RED.
 
I like the champagne color...just not a fan of the white glass with it. I like the consistency of the white with the silver...looks sleeker in my opinion!
 
I have no opinion on a gold iPhone until I see the glass parts.

I did have one thought though. The gold metal looks better than the black. I wonder if there will be a black 5S, or if the direction is towards lighter coloured phones. This would fit with the very bright iOS7.
 
Color

I can honestly say I don't care what colors are available as I have a case on mine. I want to see some technology. Not the same old iPhone in a different color with minor tweaks. I know I sound mad... Not really. I just think the iPhone is starting to fall behind.

What qualifies as a "minor tweak"?
 
The Champagne doesnt look half bad. More options for the customers. I wonder how many teenage girls will beg their parents for one.
 
What qualifies as a "minor tweak"?

Oh... you know: a radically refined brand new operating system, a new in-house created processor, bleeding-edge new video, redesigned camera for MUCH better low-light photos, using both additional f-stops & a new dual-stage flash, slo-motion video recording, double the amount of ram, maybe a new storage size option to go with that new color, a fingerprint sensor that integrates with your password keychain so that, while your phone remains secure, you NEVER have to type a single password or unlock code ever again.... just some little minor tweaks; after all- this IS an "s year".
 
I have always bought the black models thus far, but I probably never will again simply because they overheat when left in a hot sunny spot MUCH quicker. Not that I leave my phone in the sun too often, but occasionally it happens ... and I'd much prefer a less absorbent shade. The champagne gives a nice alternative to white.
 
All I want is Black/Silver. Black front with silver rear and black glass inserts... why cant they release this color combo? My Black/Slate is too scratched up to buy again.
