MG Siegler on Techcrunch reports:<\/p>\n

Yes, there will be a gold iPhone.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the latest I\u2019m hearing from multiple sources after several weeks of rumors and possible component leaks suggesting the same thing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He goes on to describe how this will be less of a completely blinged-out “gold” and more of a subtle shade of “champagne” in colour. Rene Ritchie of iMore has done a great job mocking up how this could look (pictured above).<\/p>\n

Be sure to click through for the full\u00a0comparison at iMore<\/a>, including a pic of an aftermarket-anodized gold iPhone 5, which may also give some clues as to how this new colour variation could look. A few parts with this colour treatment have also been leaked on French site\u00a0MacBoutic<\/a>, which seem to correlate what everyone else has been saying, though I’d take those parts pics with a healthy grain of salt.<\/p>\n

I think “champagne”\u2014a colour that several handset manufacturers have used in the past\u2014sounds way more plausible than straight-up “gold”, but ugh. I can’t say I’m a fan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Image source: imore.com) MG Siegler on Techcrunch reports: Yes, there will be a gold iPhone.
