Apple to Offer Gold Colored iPhone 5S, 128GB Storage Option?

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has issued a new research note claiming that the iPhone 5S will be available in gold and have a 128GB storage option.

We also forecast the new model will add a new look, a golden casing, and a new option for larger 128GB storage, to offer greater differentiation from iPhone 5.

We've already seen numerous leaks of gold colored iPhone components which corroborate Kuo's prediction.

A new 128GB storage option would double the currently available storage for the iPhone 5. This would be welcomed improvement for those who store a lot of media on their devices. Notably, Apple has already increased the storage on its iPad to a max of 128GB.

Kuo also says the new iPhone will get 1GB DDR3 RAM.

We reckon A7 will upgrade memory bandwidth spec to LPDDR3 from LPDDR2 adapted by A6, in an effort to improve system performance. Since Apple is in charge of both hardware and OS design, it is capable of minimalizing memory capacity at an optimized state. Therefore, A7’s RAM will likely be unchanged at 1GB.

In a previous note, Kuo predicted the iPhone 5S would have a convex sapphire home button with a built-in fingerprint sensor.

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 5S on September 10th.

"Colored" is a racist term. You're supposed to say "African-American."

Which color will bring more $$$$ in a year when I go to sell it is the ? I'll never see it during the year because it's always cased

I don't know but gold doesn't seem to jive with Apple's current color scheme. Perhaps this would go well with the iPod line and not for iPhones.

Wow! The gold one is ugly.

Samsung will do something better, spects: (4 GB of memory ram, 256 GB of storage and a 3 Ghz quad core CPU ) but you can get it for FREE on a Frosted Flakes box.

Oh snap! - August 16, 2013 at 8:21am

You can buy a full body gold decal for less than 20$ on Amazon for those who do not want to fork over the $

Why not just buy an anodized bezel instead? Their $63 from mengtor.com covers are cheap and shitty

Hey Steve. I love apple as much as you do. Always have and always will. But dude. Sometimes You make no sense when you talk. Just slow down and explain yourself better man.

Nitro Junkie - August 16, 2013 at 8:50pm

I don't know dude. You just don't make sense sometimes. Your explanations are all over the place. I ain't fighting with man. And to prove you wrong the iPhone 4 and 4S were made with stainless steel. The iPhone 5 is aluminum.

Nitro Junkie - August 16, 2013 at 11:35pm

Like I said I'm a lifetime apple fan just like you are. Always have been and always will be. And to let you know you can't always believe everything you see on these sites. They've been wrong many times before. I don't believe anything until its officially announced on stage. That's something you need to understand.

Nitro Junkie - August 17, 2013 at 2:22am

Honestly I don't understand what you're saying. Your comments are all over the place. What are these things you are talking about?

I just use iCloud storage. No need for that high memory

6italia0 - August 16, 2013 at 6:34am

I really do hope this option become available, I often find myself having to delete stuff from my 64GB iPhone 5 because there is just not enough room, so a 128GB option would be perfect.

Copperhead - August 16, 2013 at 6:27am

And I bet the price will be staggering....

Randy - August 16, 2013 at 6:30am

You got that right.
