The artificially created shortage, and the implication that waiting might equal "missing out", may cause formerly undecided, but prestige-desiring customers to drop the money. Those who were already set on getting the new model might do so anyway, regardless of the color.

Indeed. I read somewhere that only 10 or so gold units were sent to each store, per carrier. The fact that, after 7 years, they still "fail" to estimate their demand is nothing but yet another PR stunt to hype their product and create headlines. Nothing new to see here, move along, move along.
