We've already seen leaks of multiple colored neon plastic iPhone cases for the iPhone 5C. Typically, phones first come out in black and maybe white that other colors are added later. However, Motorola has upped the ante with the Moto X that lets you pick from 18 case colors and 7 accent colors. Apple may be going for that glorious gold look with a shell for the iPhone 5S that looks like simulated gold jewelry.
One could say that Apple is trying to go for the Midas touch. Formerly KGI analysts Ming-Chi Kuo also predicted that Apple would put gold-metal to the petal. Let's hop that iPhoneaholics don't worship this as a golden calf.
Kuo also predicted a 128GB iPhone 5S along with a processor with 64-bit architecture. The iPhone 5S is reportedly going to have an 8MP dual LED flash camera. Another prediction is that the home button will be sapphire and the iPhone will have a fingerprint scanner,for authentication and security.
Other suspected features include mogul slow-motion video, AirDrop media sharing, offline voice dictation and other features found on competing smartphones.
Whatever is revealed over the next few days we will know absolutely for sure what the iPhone 5S will be like on September 10.
Please also be aware that after a new iPhone launch, the price drops for recycling and selling older iPhone models. Some recyclers are offering lock in rates now for when you trade-in your iPhone later.
The Moto X lets you engrave your Moto X, also. Engraving in gold plastic on the iPhone 5S would look strange.
The first iPhone was introduced in June 2007 for the first four years its size did not change, processor, display resolution and camera changed. With the release of the iPhone 5, the screen size was increased to 4" which compared to most other makers is seen to be small in comparison, now.
