High-Quality Photos of 'Champagne' iPhone 5S Rear Shell Surface

[Smartass]

I don't understand how they can expect the champagne to look good with the cartoonish iOS 7.

this.

Nicely colored phone and then those neon colors on the sceen...yuk

I guess the India/China market idea makes sense. Those countries love their golds.

Central European minimalist modernism, which Ive seems to adore, is pretty culturally narrow, appealing primarily to middle class 'design literate' elites. Contrast, for example, the more neon case lights and alien-like contours of a postmodern 'gaming PC' with an iMac. One man's design perfection is another's blandness.

Purist modernism is just one, quite narrow, way of doing design. I think for functional devices like iPhones it makes perfect sense but large numbers prefer a more folksy human feel, especially in architecture or interior design where extreme modernism is often actively despised for its stark, dehumanising quality. It's possible that if Apple want to appeal to all markets all of the time more postmodern touches like chinzty golds or ornament ion for the sake of it may creep in.

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".

But the case design is the same!! How will people know I have the new phone!! /s

Champagne with black tops and side would look dope.

 

[szw-mapple fan]

I just think the white glass windows doesn't go with the champagne color. maybe a bronze cover?

the truly horrendous thing about the champagne color is that 3rd party vendors will assume consumers want matching accessories.
Imagine a champagne lightning cable?
Or champagne iPhone docks? blecch!
And isn't Champagne Lightning a dancer at Lusty Lady?


On the plus side it looks like all the Jersey Shore types have an iphone just for them. So I can get my regular old black iiphone, and wait in line less hopefully. My current iphone is cracked. Looks like I have to wait a month until I can replace it.

So if there was a champagne lightning cable - how will it affect your life?
And the evil champagne iPhone docks - are they threatening your career or health directly?

I hated the white iPhones from the beginning - but accepted that Apple has to cater to that kind of consumers who want white - mostly girls that put a pink bumper on it to complete the hello kitty-scheme.

a car is just a vehicle. by your judgmental logic, nobody should get their car in a color they enjoy. riiiight.

I think you missed that I was referring to that guy who said a phone is just electronics.

As opposed to how scratches blend in seamlessly on a black or white phone?

ok, they dont blend well with the black color, but yes, the white color does a great job hiding scratches.

 

[Kid Red]

I like it. If real, that's the color I'm getting. It's not gold at all, but a warm grey. Looks like the mac aluminum color.

 

[kenetic]

Any more colors to choose? Rumors!!!!!

Well, Ive is from Chingford which is basically Essex

 

[Solomani]

I'd buy it.

I'd tap that!

Oh wait....

 

[Xiroteus]

They seriously need to match the entire back to one color, this two three tone thing just looks odd.

So if the champagne color is still going to have a white front, then when you put a case on it, you still have a white phone. Am I missing something?

Some cases have transparent clear backs.
Some cases are just bumpers.
Some are just protective clear films. (me)
Some don't use a case at all.

 

[OneMike]

Not so bad but still an easy PASS!

Outstanding contribution!

Simple enough, right?

 

[twoodcc]

i like the idea of more colors, but i just don't think this color will sell that well

Isn't Essex the Jersey Shore of UK?
I've seen the commercials, don't lie.

I feel so much hate for these possible new colors... I think that as long as Apple keeps the original white and black colors in stock, we shouldn't really care if Apple wants to waste some cash into new color schemes that you have to admit some people will like.
