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

Why would they blur out the iPhone logo and text?
exactly! this whole thing looks really fishy to me. why in the world would they feel the need to blur our the Apple logo if these images were real? and the color does not match previously posted champagne colored parts. not buying this one.
Please let this be a joke, please!
I can't believe Apple would be doing this, gold is pure kitsch. Design-minded Apple would never do that (not the Apple we know). It really focusses on the idea of "look what I've got" like those Arabs with their chrome super cars. If you're taking that turn in history as a company you know you've failed on other aspects and you're only making a style-accessory. A lot of (Android-) people see Apple as a manufacturer which only focusses on style, but that's not what Apple is about, not the Apple Steve Jobs built.
If Apple is really releasing a gold/champagne iPhone I'll yell "ABANDON SHIP!" and fear for the future of Apple (-products). Stocks would fall dramatically since it's not just a "gold/champagne colored iPhone", it's a statement, a statement current investors would not share.

again, the accepted racism...against the ME.
and do you really think this is NOT for the Chinese Market? I think you do not actually understand regional tastes, and instead have fun throwing around almost-racist statements...
The rumored 5C leaks showed logo and text. Though now I've seen some photos of a green phone with a white logo and text so who knows what to believe at this point.

My guess it will sell well in parts of the world that still adore yellow gold. China, India, and hmmm imagine that two of the biggest markets in the world.
Just my guess.

Why is it racist to say that Saudis and Turkish people will love the phone?! Get a grip.
Yep.. It's the kind of 'classy looking' colour for people who have no concept of high class
If Apple ever falls into the abyss someday (like it almost did in the 1990s), a gold iPhone will be one of the decisions by Apple that led them there. At the very least, it will be one of the early signs when Apple began to go off track under the leadership of Tim Cook. Let's hope 2014 works out better.
Yeah the event is only a few minutes this time. Tim Cook is just going to announce the iPhone 5s comes in Gold. No new features. End of event. Then they're going to hire you.
Well said!
I agree unless they reserve it for the 128 GB option. I hope not. Just doesn't seem to fit Apple's usual color choices.
Now that would nice looking.
Yes seriously, this is nothing more than Apple appealing to urban culture , bling bling flash flash. They really want to be the company that says, hey look at our gold phone?

Who cares. Just ignore it.
I have a "grip." Do you think Apple made this for Turks, Saudis or UEA? Get a brain, this is for the Chinese, it is that simple.
Thats not being racist. Its a cultural norm amongst many arabs and "urban" lifestyle folks. Gold is a status symbol to them.
