Why is EVERYONE Getting the Gold iPhone 5S

[jr866gooner]

Had I not unexpectedly fallen in love with the blue 5c I probably would have bought the gold 5s simply because the color is new. I'm personally burnt out on the black/white iphones.

I was a sucker for the blue too lol

i got the silver 5S but i still want the gold 5S. been waiting for over 3 weeks now since i got the silver (as i have 30 days to do the switch) at a local Apple stores but couldn't find one. otherwise i will just keep the silver.

I haven't seen a single gold 5s yet

i've been waiting for one at my local Apple stores since launch day but nothing. so decided to get the silver one for now. i got 30 days to do the switch.

I think the real question would be:
Why do so many people who don't have the gold phone hate it so much?

Just got one and I love it. It looks even better in person than in photos.

I got the gold because I like it. Got it from a Retail Store, just got lucky one day when I called up the store and they had stock.

The lighting in store does it no favours. It looks nothing like silver when you get it home.

This. It beats me as to why people cannot understand that their opinion isn't the be all and end all.

One week with the Champagne iPhone 5S, but I have a nice case on it that only shows the home button with the gold-ish ring that really stands out. Please with this color.

I got it because its the new color. I also got the White iPhone 4 when those came out. So what if it's gold? If it looks good then I'll buy it.

Wait,,,gray is for men! haha...

I think I noticed the gold isn't actually as popular as the silver and slate grey! WOWZERS!

Better question. With apps like Backflip Madness being the top downloaded apps in the App Store, what did you expect that the 64 bit chip would do?

I wanted to buy a Gold iPhone with 800 Gold Dollars. I brought my satchel, but they said no.

So I took my doubloons and went home.

got my gold yesterday...but having it for a day realized it isnt for me. its gorgeous but i think space gray fits me better.

Thought about getting the gold, they had both the silver and gold 64gb at my store in KC, i ended up going with the silver, the gold looked nice, but unfortunately I'm the kind of person who NEEDS there stuff to match
lol

So it's easy to show off that you have the new iPhone .

It is an attractive new color and is more easily differentiated from the 5. I've been complimented by several people on my phone.

I got it because I'm simply bored of colours. Had black iPhone 4, then black iPhone 5 because black this time looked sick, then bought white iPhone 5 because as I said, got bored of black, now I'm on gold 5S. I'm not yet bored, but I feel I will be in couple of months.
