just try proofreading what you write. just a little. c'mon. but you won't. it's obvious you & ai don't give a rat's behind about the quality of what you spew ... just get those page views and ad impressions. i would certainly never hire you, and i know at least two other tech writing establishments that would not either. so don't quit your day job.
He did apparently tweak the "Minor tweak..." non-sentence (nonsense?), so whiney little missives do seem to be working.
Gold color is a color preferable by Asian and Arabian so learn to be thinking globally.
I don't think that's the reason. I think they are releasing the cheaper 5C, but don't want people to think they're taking Apple low-end, so are releasing the Gold iPhone at the same time to counter that perception.

I wanted to threaten the writer for the use of "colorways" but I've heard you shouldn't threaten someone if you aren't willing to follow through. Whiney little missives are the extent to which I'm willing to follow through. But as you point out they can be effective.
You call that a headline? Here's your AppleInsider headline! [B]"Apple to offer 'iPhone 5s' in new gold color [I]as plastic Samsung Galaxy sales climb[/I]"[/B]
Can someone provide justification for the odd expression "colorways"?
Why use an obscure (and arguably less correct, according to Wiktionary) term, when a simpler one will do?
"Colorways" comes from the apparel industry, AFAIK. It's dumb. Really dumb. I had to do a double-take when I first heard it. No one should use it when describing consumer electronics, IMO.
Because if you don't have an Android phone you have apps. And you might buy music. And take photos you might want to keep, including nice panos that are huge.
Someone on MacRumors mocked up what a champagne colored 5 design would look like. It actually looks quite nice.
That's a very tasteful color. I approve of this wholeheartedly.
It makes me want Sparkling Jell-O. Remember that? I say remember that because I'm reading right now that it's off the market, which sucks. I'm just now remembering it after however many years it has been, and how I loved it. I saw that iPhone and remembered the taste of it… Haven't even thought about it for, what, a decade?
… Great. I'm depressed enough about my memory as it is without remembering that I've probably lost everything I've ever actually liked in my life.
The gold iPhone will be sold only in upscale jewelry stores along with a similar version of the iWatch... Only obtainable in places Oprah shops and $32,000 purses are offered.

So what do you think, more money for 128GB? Or last years 64GB price.
From all the leaks the"gold" color doesn't really look gold.
It looked to me more like a champagne color which could be nice and high end when paired with white glass.
Very few metals look as (pure) gold, the colour of which results from the arrangement of valence electrons and apparently, relativistic effects (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold). This diagram from Wikipedia illustrates. A gold plated finish would look spectacular but anything else, less so. Gold finish is very popular in parts of the world, whether another finish with the appearance of gold will hold up is yet to be seen.

Colorways is a colorist term. Since apparel is the fastest color changing segment of all products it get the most attention, however color trends affect home furnishings, carpets, drapes and paints, linoleum, tiles, and even door hardware... although these colorways change much slower. The color "red" of today's car is not the same as "red" was a few years back.
It's hard to believe that the changing colors of tableware is not random, but are actually forecast years in advance. The same applies to the colors Apple choses for iPods and iPhones... it is a secretive and viable industry and anyone that isn't in step with the flow looks ridiculous. Remember the brown Zune?
So what do you think, more money for 128GB? Or last years 64GB price.
Good question... Apple may up the price just to hold out that option for people to whom price is not a consideration. You see them walking down Rodeo Drive wearing $5000 jeans with the knees ripped out.

You think as much as Apple touts its app store quantity of apps, they would update the storage capacity to contain those apps.
I hope they make the low end 32gb and keep the 128gb at $849- what the 64gb is currently. But that is almost definitely wishful thinking....
Edit: and just as I posted, so did Rot'n.

Does look nice. If it's anything close to this, I can't wait to see what this looks like with iOS 7.

Why do you need 128GB if you stream movies?

Anyway, I like this mockup.

But that's not what I thought of when I heard the word "gold"
