If they want to go with a champagne gold color then go all the way. I don't like the white face. While using the phone all you would see is the white on the front which defeats the purpose of offering a new color.
Exactly my sentiments.
The back looks cheap with the different color bands as well. Looks unfinished.
Lots of people in the Bay Area like that color of gold.
God, these fucking California references are getting more obnoxious all the time.
Cheer up! Maybe some company from an anti-American country will make a donut pillow cover that color and then you can have something to match the gold iPhone.
So what's new? Superman still wears his Fruit of the Looms outside his tights. Rumor has it, he loves everyone to see his big red ess.
Actually, the red tights have been gone since DC relaunched the character in 2011.
I'll play…
That means Safeway Supermarket is the "home of the big red ess".
Or, maybe:
Say, Dick, isn't the corporate headquarters of Safeway located in Pleasanton, CA.? I consulted for a while at their DP shop in Oakland, CA right near where the freeway collapsed in that earthquake.

Why yes it is.
When I was with IBM, Safeway HQ was in Oakland. I worked with them on a special project... DP was kinda' out in the boonies and had duplexed everything, computers, data files, power backup, power sources, communication lines... IBM loved 'em!
It was 1970, and IBM had built a special computer, the 29/SM. It was designed to be in the back room of a supermarket and control substitutes for cash registers (no barcodes in those days).
We installed and tested it in the training store basement of the Oakland location. Then, we installed a live system in the [then brand new] Fremont store * adjacent to the distribution center.
Only 2 checkout counters were active... But customers would line up to use these, because they printed itemized receipts.
Sadly, IBM cancelled the project... Sigh!
* Safeway had excellent meats... The Fremont store had a lunch counter -- you could buy a steak in the meat dept., and they would prepare it for you at the lunch counter.

The really sad thing... We must be geeks -- we're discussing the Safeway image [the big red ess sign] -- rather than the other image -- which, IMO, is a lot more interesting...
Color is not going to be the main selling point of this device. iOS 7 will be more important than even the scanner. Lets remember that functionality and bells and whistles are what people like the best and hopefully iOS 7 brings out the best.

Black is the second most popular colour choice after white, and there is no evidence so far they are making a black iPhone 5c either.
Personally, I'm starting to have severe doubts about this years phone choices from Apple. A gold iPhone is still a bit tacky even if it's "champagne" and the latest on the fingerprint sensor indicates they are changing the shape of the home button from concave to flat which seems like an awful idea. Neither of these choices seem worth it in terms of the damage they do to the overall iPhone design to implement them. For me, this could be the first year I don't upgrade to the new phone. I'd pick the 5c if it came in a nice colour but it doesn't.
When did Apple announce they were getting rid of the black iPhone? Since the black and silver iPhone designs aren't new there isn't anything to leak. Same thing about the home button, no evidence of that either. Seems to me way too many people are making assumptions before they've actually seen the products that will be for sale.

I don't mind the color... but the white face??? and unfinished bands on the back... wtf???
I don't believe these photos to be real of a finished product. No chance Apple releases a phone looking like that.
Maybe those 5C cases were for the Champagne model all along ;-)

Walk into any discount store and look at the ridiculous cases that are already sold.
In China this "bling-bling" phone would be the #1 smartphone in the country in 3 days.
