iPhone Would you buy the Gold iPhone 5S?

catchit · 10-11-2013, 11:21 PM

The gold iPhone 5S seems quite popular. It looks cool but I am not one of those who would buy one. I prefer the sliver or black theme. And I'm wondering how many would buy this gold phone?

I totally would buy it. In fact I plan on buying it.

JSWolf · 10-12-2013, 03:43 PM

Not I. I've already got an iPhone 5.

kyteflyer · 10-12-2013, 04:28 PM

Nope. Glitz and bling dont interest me. when the time comes (iphone 6/6s) I'll get black/grey/whatever.

I liked the gold back but wanted a black front, so I got the space grey iPhone 5S and this cover in gold.

I'm buying the gold, but I have to wait until my contract is up. I'd buy it outright, but I want the 64GB version. I want to pair it with the blue leather case, think it'd look cute.

I bought the gray. Not a big fan of gold.

We just bought our 5's on contract with our cell phone provider. We really didn't feel a need for the fingerprint technology just yet. And our phones are both in Otter boxes for their own safety anyway, so the colors they had didn't make any difference. I sure did like the looks of the gold ones, though, at least in the pictures I saw on the Apple site.

My white 4S is still going strong, but since I always use a case, gold vs. silver doesn't matter much. I'm really hoping to see a Product Red version at some point in the future. Or even better, (and, yes, I know this will never happen) an "Apple Cares" line of colors. Buy a green iPhone and Apple will donate 20¢ to Oxfam. Buy a purple iPhone and Apple will donate 20¢ to Autism research.

Same here as far as the case goes. I have the black 5 and love it, but I keep it safe and snug in my Otterbox Defender case so it doesn't really matter. If I used it naked (the phone, not me) I would prefer the black, but that is no longer available for a 5S.

I await new lyrics for the old melody, "Gold Finger"

Gold down 1260 (USD) maybe more affordable.

If you've got a spare 15.3 million lying around you could always go for something like this version...

According to the designer, the custom made iPhone 5 took him 9 weeks to build and the complete device has been made by hand. The outside casing of the smartphone is said to be made up for 24-carat gold, while the home button consists of 26-carat black diamond.

The Apple logo and the corners of the smartphone are built using the white diamonds. The device is encrusted with 600 precious stones, out of which, 53 are housed in the Apple logo at the back. The world's most expensive smartphone was ordered by a Chinese based businessman, who owns the black diamond that went into the construction.

Now that's some serious bling. Not sure it would fit in my Otterbox, though, LOL!
