- ‘Multiple sources’ have said that the next iPhone will come in a gold option
- Gold is currently one of the most popular after-market colour adjustments
- Leaked parts in May revealed iPhone components in both gold and silver
- Launch of new generation iPhone 5S and 5C is believed to be weeks away
The next iPhone will come in gold, according to the latest Apple rumours.
Techcrunch columnist MG Siegler said he has heard by ‘multiple sources’ there will be a gold iPhone 5S.
A gold option had first been suggested in May when leaked parts of the new iPhone were shown to be markedly different from those in the current model.
The iPhone is currently only available in black and white.
‘Given how popular gold is as an aftermarket option for colour-treatments, and how many gold cases there are – including but certainly not limited to the Asian markets – it could simply be the decision to offer supply where there’s demand.’ said Mr Ritchie from iMore.
MG Siegler from Techcrunch believes that the colour could be more champagne than gold, similar to the old gold iPod mini.
Apple is set to officially unveil the new generation iPhone at an event next month, insiders say.
It is believed the event, allegedly on September 10, will see the launch of the upcoming iPhone 5S and possibly also a rumoured iPhone 5C ‘low-cost’ device.
The C in the iPhone 5C is thought to stand for ‘colour’ which could suggest that the phone will come in a range of colours, rather than the standard black and white options.
Rumoured updates on the new iPhone 5S include an slow-motion camera and a fingerprint sensor.
Other new features include Night Mode in Maps that responds to ambient light when you use it in the dark.
The iOS 7 software also lets users swipe between menus, select apps and control the device’s screen using just head movements.
The new iOS7 software for iPhone also includes a radical redesign of menus and icons as well as improved notifications and better photo-organising abilities.
