Have you heard of Hadoro before? If you have not, you might want to start checking them out – they happen to have their headquarters planted at the heart of the French jewelry industry in Paris. Hadoro’s team of craftsmen have managed to come up with a unique iPhone that has been produced using 125 grams of massive 18K gold. It has been specially designed and printed with 3D technology, and each of the final product is different from another since they are all finished by hand, although you can expect the same standard of excellence for all of them. In fact, Hadoro’s artisans claim to have invested over 200 hours of brushing, polishing and refining to the smallest details.

This would mean the iPhone 5s will now be a luxury object without sacrificing on its cutting edge technology, now how about that for some much needed bling in your inventory? It is a no-brainer then that this is a limited edition handset, where only 50 of these puppies will be produced. You will be able to pick up Hadoro’s massive gold iPhone 5s in yellow or red gold, with the starting asking price of 55,000 Euros. The first specimens, however, will be available in the Collette Store that is located in Paris, France.

As Apple was prepping the perfectly glitzy hue of the goldpagne iPhone 5S, the phone was being referred to as "the Kardashian phone" inside Apple according to NY Times reporter Nick Bilton. Yes, that would be the same Kardashian as notorious iPhone auteur Kim and her well manicured yet totally overexposed family. Which means yes, Apple was completely aware of how ridiculous the goldpagne iPhone was going to be.

Apple released its iPhone 5S this past weekend, although we’re sure those of you who own an iPhone 5 may not want to pay full retail price for the next iPhone for one reason or another. You could always attempt to win the iPhone 5S through a sketchy giveaway on your social media network of choice, or you can just spend $24 to have those around you think you’re someone who is way more important than you actually are by tricking them into thinking you own an iPhone 5S.

iPhone 5S $24 Upgrade Kit Turns Your iPhone 5 Into The Latest iPhone… Sort Of original content from Ubergizmo.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of low iPhone 5S inventory. When Apple didn’t offer pre-orders for the smartphone, it was believed that was due to supply constraints. Only yesterday we heard a report citing various carrier sources saying that they had “grotesquely” low iPhone 5S inventory. A new report claims that all four carriers and the U.S. retail giants that are going to release the new iPhone tomorrow don’t have any inventory for iPhone 5S units in gold and silver color.

If this report is true, then it most certainly is a bummer. Apple has offered a gold color option for the very first time, if it isn’t available from majority of the points of sale across the U.S. on launch day, customers lining up for them probably won’t be too happy. 9to5mac claims that every carrier source and U.S. retail outlet it has heard from says that they only have the iPhone 5S in space grey. Though there’s a possibility that stock in the aforementioned colors might arrive late at night. This situation is said to be only at retail stores, customers will be able to order the iPhone 5S in any color from any carrier or retailer that they want online, but they’ll have to wait for their new iPhone to arrive in the mail.

We’re hearing rumors about the next generation iPhone on a daily basis now. Apple is expected to unveil the smartphone on September 10th, though the company is yet to confirm its plans. Over the past couple of weeks there has been speculation about iPhone 5S being offered in gold color as well. By now we’ve been treated to two purported casings and various analyst reports in favor of this possibility. Reuters now chimes in with its own report, claiming that its sources based in Taiwanese supply chain “confirm” that Apple will offer a gold covered iPhone next month.

It is believed that the gold color wouldn’t be tacky or over the top. One analyst recently claimed that the color would be less gold and more champagne. There’s speculation that the gold iPhone 5S would do well in China, given that a lot of local brands make gold colored smartphones and features phones in the country that are popular with customers. Jerry Zou, Senior VP of Beijing based PR firm FleishmanHillard, says that a new color would add variety and novelty. He calls them key to “winning over fickle Chinese customers.” Still, there’s no official confirmation that Apple would break away from its tradition of offering the iPhone in black and white only. For that we’ll have to wait, hopefully, until September.
