You’ll remember that the usually reliable Japanese blog Macotakara affirmed earlier in the week that golden casing will be one of the few possible iPhone 5S color choices.
For what it’s worth, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo thinks the gold color will be exclusive to a rumored 128GB iPhone 5S model, which today surfaced in the sales system of the German retailer Media Markt.
As commenters have previously noted, the gold-colored option is very Apple-inlike, but if the iPhone 5S is to come in a range of colors like the latest iPod touch series, why not offer the gold variant – Kim Kardashian will be ecstatic.
