Why is EVERYONE Getting the Gold iPhone 5S

Well.. I guess I am not 'everyone' either..

I, as seemingly many above, got a 'Space Grey' model as soon as a 64GB was available with my local provider.. My 2 1/2 year old iPhone 4 has served me well, and IF they may have had White/Silver-Gold ones I may well have decided I liked one of those better, but the Grey one is just fine for me.. and likely functions at The Same Speed as the Gold ones.. I suspect!! :cool:

I don't understand why people are so "annoyed" by this thread. I just want to know peoles psychological reasoning behind, getting the gold...

Especially since the majority are men,,,seems metro.

Well, my reasoning behind it is that I had every iPhone since the 3GS in black, so I thought that I would switch it up and I found that a totally new color is more switching it up than silver. Also, I found the gold ring on the front to be more attractive than the silver ring. One last thing, in a time of great acceptance, I don't really understand why a phone's color determines a person's sexuality. Are girls with black iPhones manly and dykes simply because they got black? No...
 
It's because it's new and it's a classy color combo. Personally I really like space grey.
 
This is what I'm gathering. Now the gold iPhone makes us guys appear to be metro. Before gold, we had black or white and white made guys more feminine. Now the silver is okay for guys, but the gold makes some people question our manliness? Have to love the world we live in lol
 
Every one have personal preferences ...
I don't like gold color, but I have to admit that gold iPhone 5s is somewhat beautiful.

And please don't try to correlate color with sexual preferences: I've got white 3GS, 4s and 5 and I can assure (and prove :D) I'm a man and I like girls :D

"In a time of great acceptance" lesbians are not referred to as "dykes."
 
I just had a bunch of grey/black phones and was planning to get a white 5S anyway, so when I saw the gold one I thought that was pretty funky and cool, so I bought one. :D

But to please the annoying people here: When I heard that the gold was selling out I absolutely had to have one! so I camped out overnight and paid $10k to get the first spot in line so I could have one.




lol just kidding on that second part

Gold is Best

I just don't understand? Under certain light it looks like the silver one??? Plus the gold ring around the home button, looks awful!

Gold is best. It looks better. It feels better. You only wonder why it might not be better when you don't have one.
 
I was able to get a Gold 64/GB AT&T yesterday for in store pickup in Miami. I didn't like the gold at first. Things change.

My first choice was to get space grey. After seeing the gold in person and thinking how I've had every iPhone generation in Black it was time for a change. I went with the gold and I'm very happy with it.

This is a matter of personal opinion... "everyone" obviously isn't getting the Gold one, and the reason why they offer 3 colors is so you can get the one you like without having to think too hard about the one you don't like.
 
...but I thought the gold iPhone was ONLY for gangsters, people from the UAE and "Jersey Shore" folks.

there is no way that all the gold iPhone buyers only fit inot the 3 categories above, so I am not sure what is going on...
