New Videos Depict 'Champagne' and 'Graphite' iPhone 5S Casings

[arbitter]

I dunno, adding graphite and champagne won't attract more customers I think. I mean the difference between graphite and the current black model is just nothing that's decision making. It's not like people were "Oh no that black isn't nice, it should be a bit more... graphite-like" and don't buy one if they want one.

Of course more choice is better. Just less chance of the color you wish being in stock.

Why is Apple bothering with a September 10th media event again?

Only Apple can create 2 new (iffy) colors in a year old phone design and generate this much interest. I mean I was disappointed in the S4 but at least they increaed the screen size while keep the phone a similar size.

Take apart an iPhone 5 only to discover that the internal mounting holes are different? I love it. That fact has been all over the Net for a while.

 

[mashinhead]

I guess the real question is, are iPads coming in these colorways too?

It's pretty incredible how so many different individuals are able to get their hands on the shells of the different colors of the iPhone 5S and 5C.

I would imagine that after the first few leaks of the shells, Apple would put the pressure on the Chinese factories to make sure no additional products left the factory floor.

Choice is great, and many people will be happy to have a variety of colors to choose from in the 5S and 5C, but I sure hope Apple has something amazing planned on these devices, whether it be software or hardware.

Why were you disappointed? What more do you want in a phone?

I certainly hope the granite isn't a prototype

Where are the leaks of the screen? Is it going to stay the same (95.7% chance) or be bigger (4.3% chance)?

 

[Lestdog]

Oh soooo exciting, subtle color variations! Wow, just WOW!!!

Does this crap really excite you guys?

 

[gnasher729]

Metalics for 5s, Groovy colors for 5c. I smell a Samsung commercial poking fun at Apple fans "It comes in Red... wow"

Samsung wouldn't do that. They would poke fun at customers. "Oh look, how stupid, he bought a gold iPhone". People buying huge phones because of their own inferiority complex like that kind of advert.

They should replace slate with graphite. Much nicer! Wonder if Apple will even sell slate and graphite together? They are very similar. Has there been leaks of a slate iPhone 5S?

 

[gnasher729]

First they'd have to poke fun at every other phone manufacturer that offers colors....but that would include themselves.

You don't get it. iPhone in different colours - Apple can't innovate anymore. Samsung phones in different colours - look how innovative!

 

[E.Lizardo]

Wow Tim. Just wow.

You guys are asleep at the switch.It took 9 whole posts for the first un-clever unintelligent unfunny unoriginal stone cold stupid "double down" post.

Hey did milk come out your nose when you though that up?

 

[Abobrek]

its not transparent. what youre seeing are reflections based on viewing angles.

No. Here is a closer view of it. It IS transparent. The bluish, plastic is shown through.

 

[Born Again]

can't innovate my a$$!

look they added a new color guys!

and a dual LED - i mean iLED

As you bother to read this thread AND come up with the usual rubbish, you can't deny that you wish you could get the iPhone 5S too, if you had the cash.

It will attract more customers.

Because 99.99% of the world don't go to macrumors

I'm down for a champagne ipad mini. I keep my phone in a case but not my ipad.

 

[captain kaos]

Oh Joy. It's our daily Champagne iPhone update.

Just thinking the same thing. I didn't know what to do since the last Champagne update yesterday. Luckily this latest one happened....

They can have both.

 

[Icaras]

So MR, is it "graphite" or is it "granite"?

 

[Gigaman]

Aesthetically, it almost seems like Apple is trying to make a clear distinction between the look of low cost and higher quality devices. Me likes.

Apple has never added LED's to make their logo glow in any of their products and they aren't going to start now. Wishful thinking, not going to happen.

I'm betting on 4.3% bigger screen surprise
