You could say the same thing about black and white for North America!!
This is coming from someone who isn't really interested in the champagne color. Just have to respect we ALL have different tastes. As long as you can get the flavour you want why hate on what others want? (I know, I know... it looks a bit hideous).
Clever people would think: apple is targeting 2 billion people in emerging markets.
Price would go up. You probably would sell and lose money
OMG, I need to get one. Whip this puppy out in the club, especially on launch weekend, I'll be the man all night.
When I got my first Mac, I remember thinking, now here's a company that gets me, and it doesn't even know me.
The hardware immediately appealed to my industrial design sensibilities. The operating system mostly worked like I'd make it work if I could make my own operating system. Icons were beautiful...understated, elegant, intuitive.
I felt the same way about the original iPod. Then the Nano. Then 3 other Nanos. Then every iPhone. And more Macs. And Airports, Apple TVs, iPads, etc.
Apple made stuff that clicked with me, and millions of other smart, sensible design-aware consumers.
Now the person who oversaw and approved every detail of every product, the person who knew what I wanted before I did, is gone. As a result, we now have iOS7, made of stick figures covered in Skittles. That was a punch in the stomach. Now that I'm doubled over, a gold iPhone has just kicked me in the ribs for good measure.
In 10 years time, Apple and its products will have little if anything to do with the company and products we've come to know and love for the past 15 or so years.

Not just yet, awaiting impatiently for new updated MacBook Pro, in gold of course
I'm sorry, but there's no way steve would have allowed this.
He was the king of bauhaus principles and design.
And I'm sure if Walter Gropius "the silver prince" was alive today, he'd be shocked.

I don't see any gold, so yes.

Dude, come one. Look at Post #251... This isn't the first time. You can still get the black color you love.
Okay, so Rainbows>gold. Got it.
I think if they do go ahead with this option it will "hopefully" by classy and way more champagne and way less gold. Would be funny if it didn't get released at all and all these people getting worked up and getting worried about Apple will have gotten worked up for nothing.
Yeah, the more I think about it, a Gold iphone is a little too opulent & blingy if you ask me. Especially in these tough economic times, it just smacks of snobbery. I dunno. I guess some will buy it. I could see lots of Wall Street guys & rappers scooping one of these up.
Only if that was their idea of innovation you idiot.
I can imagine it looking very attractive when it's fully assembled. Folks said the same thing about the original iPhone 5's design, and I think that's beautiful.
Apple may have not yet jumped the shark with IOS7 and the gold iphone5, but they are approaching the take-off ramp at a high rate of speed!
Hopefully there's still time to pull out!

Keep dreamin.
I heard from made up sources that gold was Scott Forstall's influence, just before he left. His final present to us.
