Check out our review of the Apple iPhone 5S smartphone.
Though not necessarily worth its weight in gold, a shortened supply in Apple’s new iPhone
5S in luxurious gold is causing its price on sites like eBay creep up on sites like eBay at
exorbitant prices.
One of Apple’s big highlights at its big press event about two weeks ago was
the announcement of its brand new smartphone, the iPhone 5S. Of the three colors
released, gold is the one that caught the most attention. Apple’s supply of gold iPhones
was excessively low at launch, with some stores getting not a single golden iPhone, and
even Apple’s own flagship store in San Francisco receiving only around 20.
Due to the short supply, many are turning to eBay and Craigslist to get their hands on their
very own iPhone 5S, complete with a finish even Richie Rich could appreciate. An
average 16GB Gold iPhone 5S can fetch nearly $1,000 from impatient iPhone fanatics –
nearly 30 percent higher than an identical, though less flashy space-gray or silver. In
China, golden iPhones are clocking in at nearly twice as much as their retail value.
As crazy as people may seem for picking up a golden iPhone for $1,000, all eyes are on
that eBay auction where in just 24 hours a golden iPhone started at just 99 cents before
ballooning to a crazy $10,100. However, this price is an anomaly. Someone with zero eBay
feedback set a ridiculous $10,000 offer for the golden iPhone – and then someone else
outbid him. The winning bidder has real eBay feedback, suggesting that perhaps he or she
really wanted a $10,000 iPhone. There is a chance that the listing will get canceled by eBay.
Whether $1,000 or $10,000, the fact remains that stock has dwindled for the iPhone 5S,
making some wait well into October for the latest Apple smartphone. Whether this is due
to unexpected sales or artificial scarcity is unclear, but in either case Apple better hope it
leads to a better earnings quarter as Samsung continues to steal the show.
Lastly, since we know some of you will be disappointed the new iPhone 5S lacks any real
gold, remember you can always settle for the iPhone 5 featuring 24 karat gold, platinum,
and Swarovski Crystals. Take your pick folks
Since the rumors for the gold iPhone 5C have popped up, the web has got filled with reports about whether the gold iPhone will be lucky or unlucky for Apple. Some reports have gone too far that they have even traced the luckiness of golden color in different countries as well. Details below.
Many analyses for the gold iPhone says that golden color is considered lucky in China and therefore this change to golden color might boost Apple’s sales in China. So let’s see what colors Chinese actually prefer.
As per the chart of auto colors compiled by Fortune’s Philip Elmer-DeWitt, the favorite or the lucky color of Chinese consumers (at least for buying autos) is silver, not gold. Even the second most favorite color is not gold. It is black. While golden color holds the eighth position, that doesn’t seem to be impressive enough. Well, does this mean that gold iPhone is not going to bring riches for the fruit company? Maybe no.
Golden color might bring fortunes for Apple in India. This is because gold is a traditional color there, due to the extensive use of gold jewelry, especially in weddings. So we can say that the significance of gold in India can give some fame to the golden-colored iPhone 5C.
However, there is one thing that might make people less attracted towards this gold iPhone and that is that there are already smartphones of other companies in golden color, then why would one choice gold iPhone? But since Apple’s products’, in particular iPhone is considered to be something more than just a smartphone, therefore those who want best gold smartphone might go for this one.
Do you think the gold coloured iPhone will be a success?

What to comment....You all seem to be super-intelligent, next to God. Let's meet again after 2 yrs in 2015 and discuss whether the following are true or not:
Top 9 programming languages
1. C++
2. C
3. Perl
4. C++
5. C
6. Perl
7. C++
8. C
9. Perl
See you after 2 yrs in 2015, save your comments towards me till then, good or bad. Right now you can keep believing what you want to believe
method 6 right click on title? what title? the website title? the survey title? more detailed
Hello there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after checking through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
you can find me at http://www.mytrickpages.com
Whatever you are talking about is just bullshit. Java will remain on top even in 2015 and after.
@Mike: Well, you must be aq great Java developer. If saying so, gives you a good night's sleep as of today, so be it, at least for the time being. Nevertheless, I wish to point you towards a few facts:
1. Android was having (and still having) a nice ecosystem based on Java. Intel CEO met google CEO on a public platform and proclaimed that future intel processor architecture would be built keeping into mind the Android platform --- the result: Android NDK which allows one to develop Android apps in C/C++. The NDK is maturing day by day.
2. There are insider news that Apple would try to support C++ for iOS development as well as Mac OS development. ObjectiveC would remain as a first class citizen but C++ would also have a place in their ecosystem. DragonFire SDK allows C++ development on both the platforms.
3. What to say anything new about Microsoft, it is touting C++ and popularising the language heavily since past 2 - 3 years. It has also pumped in money for C++ 11 standard and working towards C++ 14 with the ISO committee alongwith passive support from community and other giants like IBM etc.
Within another 2 years almost all native apps can be developed using C++ (I repeat : can be).
The world is moving towards "GoNative" revolution and suddenly Bjarne Stroustroup is not having any timeslot in his busy schedule left. ISO committee has roadmap for C++ till 2017 when C++ 17 would come out.
Discuss this with your friends and think over it.
dear..ambar the crage of java in now days is highly impressive then c and c++ so as i hope that in even 2015 java will we remain in top..
i really appericate your feedback keeep it up bro...
u have to make right click on the surveys page...
