It's going to be impossible to find for months, unless people want to pay $3000 on eBay, Chinese scalpers will be everywhere sucking away US stock back to China. Apple knows this (they're doing it on purpose), we know this, I know this. I'll be preordering minute one and will just wait and wait for its arrival. I'll open my wallet for 256MB of storage too, if that's an option, though we'll likely have to wait for 7 for that.

Unless it doesn't have at least 2Gigs of RAM. Then I'll pass.
 
Well there you have it.

I'd order gold with a black face for sure. There's mockups/mod jobs out there that look great. There's no way I'd ever pay over retail to get it early though. The exercise in patience is good for you.
 
Neucase. Black Matte for me.

Is that a skin? How much did it cost?
It's a case replacement. There is a firm in Los Angeles that does this (you pick the color) called Neucase.

Costs about $200. Note that I have not personally done this - yet. But I want to.

256 MB of storage? Knowing Apple, I wouldn't be surprised if that is a new low-end option ;)

As for color choice, no question I'll be going with Space Gray. A gold iPhone was neat back when the 5s came out, but now I'm ready to make the switch.

Thank you for that piece of useless information. Guess we can all go outside and have a life

Agreed. I'll order it and wait rather than buy it from resellers.
 
Gold was and is and always will be tacky - what happened? Did some of you not get the joke?

Gold is just considered tacky because the zillions of hours of mass TV you've watched make you associate it with female and bling BS. You ever hold a big chunk of pure solid gold? It's a NICE metal. The nicest there is.
 
apple already have gold color , why they make rose gold for ???
just release fresh PINK better .......

rose gold and gold is about a same ........:eek:

Is that why platinum is considered more expensive and nicer? ;)
 
Correction, GOLD used to be tacky.

Like all styles and fashion things come back around.

It's almost a statement now because people behind the times will call it gaudy or tacky, but then Rose GOLD is a whole new era and Apple singlehandedly made it popular again.

Rose GOLD definitely catches the eye.
