iPhone 5S to go for gold

These are actual gold-plated phones. Not the same thing

The possibly soon-to-be-released new Apple phone possibly
 known as the iPhone 5S will probably have a new colour
 choice: gold.
KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted that the rumoured
 new phone, the existence of which Apple is yet to confirm,
 will have a lot in common with the current iPhone,
 most notably the screen size. While the rest of the world is
 moving towards (and in many cases, beyond) the 5-inch screen,
 the iPhone 5S will stick with the iPhone 5’s 4-inch screen.
But anyone disappointed by the lack of screen real-estate will be
 able to buy a new gold-coloured model, Mr Kuo has predicted.
Also making up for the mere 4 inches of screen will be
 that long-rumoured fingerprint scanner, which will be in the 5S,
built into the home button which will be made of sapphire,
 Mr Kuo predicted. That’s a slight departure from Apple’s
 own patent application for biometric phone unlocking, which has
 the fingerprint scanner located between the home button and the
screen. The home button seems like a better choice.
The phone, expected to be launched on September 10 (Sept 11 here),
 will also come with an option for 128 gigabytes of storage, Mr Kuo has
 predicted, which could come in handy because, disappointingly, the
 phone isn’t expected to come with the micro SD memory card
 slot that most other smart phones have.
Anyone disappointed by the lack of expandible memory will be
 able to buy a gold-coloured model, however.
The rumoured phone’s rumoured camera won’t be upgraded in
 terms of megapixels, Mr Kuo said, but it will be upgraded in
 terms of its maximum aperture, which will now be as wide as f2.0.
Anyone disappointed by the lack of extra megapixels will be able to
 buy a gold-coloured model.
