Apple may broaden the appeal of its smartphone with new color options

Some purported iPhone 5S parts have been leaked in photos by a Chinese source, suggesting that Apple will roll out at least one extra color variation this year, which is gold.

Of course, the images in question could well show counterfeit parts for some iPhone clone, but NowhereElse.fr is inclined to trust iColorOS, “having on several occasions in the past proven reliable.”

The images show various minute parts, including volume buttons, mute switches, and SIM card trays. Most of them are there for comparison because only one set allegedly belongs to the iPhone 5S. And that’s the golden set.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for a golden iPhone 5S, but I wouldn’t rule it out either. People seem to want them in color. After all, that’s why people like Anostyle are in business.
