Don't understand all the hate. I am an architect/product design and I think it's beautiful.
More importantly, it will sell A LOT, even more than regular colors in many many countries. The marketting team is really clever.
The only problem is that you need to use it without a case. Not a good idea.

I think it would sell quite well actually. Not just in other countries but in the US as well. There are so many people that just want to show off they have the latest greatest they will buy it. Especially if it's in the more champagne color hue and not a garish brassy tone. I don't think Apple would do that. They are a very classy Co. and I am sure they know what they are doing.
There are many cars that come in champagne color that are quite attractive. And for Pete's sake, it's just another color choice. As in, *REPEAT* choice!

I must say, I never thought Apple rumors would collapse to the point where they had to drag out the gold paint to generate a bit of interest. When we look back on this in a year or so, it'll likely be known as the most boring and dull rumor searson ever.
LOL
Golden iPhone is far from being sophisticated and elegant. It lacks of good taste and looks just cheap. I thought bling bling era is long gone but maybe there are still markets for products with some bling bling. Chavtastic.
I look forward to see how this golden iPhone will sell in Europe
Way worse than in the US.
No just no, it'll be flashy wankers who buy in gold thinking it looks more expensive.
I can se apple doing colours with this being yellow but I really wished they wouldn't.
Heres to hoping this is a photoshop creation, the blurring of logo suggests who ever took it is capable of such things.
I would love a bare aluminium shell a white and a black.

This will successfully tap into the burgeoning smartphones for pimps market. They can do promotions with auto parts stores for gold spinner rim discounts.
On a serious note though, why would the components inside the phone also be gold??

Umm, it's Apple that's getting sad. MR isn't making a gold phone. Don't shoot the messenger.
True class is black. Sleek and black. I've always found the white iPhone to be tacky.
The same principle applies to those who make fun of other companies for using plastic. I own a 3GS. Plastic is ok with me.

This is correct. Also, in iOS 7, gold iPhones will retain a glossy UI where as white and black models get the "flat" look.
Haters gonna hate, but this gold iPhone is MONEY. A lot of cats gonna be upgrading their blackberries this fall, mark my words.
You simply have bad taste I'm sorry but it's true. And your missing the point, people are not offended by it there just upset about the direction apple would be heading if they introduce this.
If there is a market for a golden iPhone they will make it - Apple is a commercial company not the defender of "good" taste whatever that maybe. It is personal taste remember?
