That gold iPhone 5S sure is popular (or Apple didn’t make very many of them) — if you try to order through Apple’s website, it won’t ship until October. What a champagne pain.

Gold HTC One Spotted In Leaked Photos

Gold HTC One Spotted In Leaked Photos

Earlier this week, Apple finally unveiled two new iPhones, the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S, both of which would be made available in a variety of colors. The iPhone 5S, however, will have gold as one of its color options giving those of us who enjoy the finer things in life the chance to really enjoy the luxury that comes with owning a gold iPhone. It looks like the gold phone bandwagon has received a newcomer as HTC looks to be building their own gold HTC One, according to some leaked images that hit the Internet today. (more…)

    Gold-colored HTC One part leaked in China, we’re sensing a trend here

    Goldcolored HTC One part leaked in China, we're sensing a trend here

    We’re usually quite skeptical when it comes to leaked phone parts, especially those that just show a new color, but this one seems fairly reliable. Courtesy of the same Sina Weibo user who previously showed us a blue HTC One (which has since been announced along with its mini counterpart), we’re now looking at what appears to be the front-half of a gold-colored One. Call it impeccable timing, but given the August 12th date stamp on the part, chances are HTC also had this planned some time ago. In fact, a 24-Carat gold One already exists.

    In addition to the leakster’s track record, the hand-written marks on the parts lend credence to their authenticity. The One series’ designer Justin Huang (who’s sadly in a bit of trouble right now) previously told us that the letters grade the form of the front-side frame, in order to help pick matching parts. It’s also worth pointing out that we’ve yet to come across any fake custom HTC One parts in the Huaqiangbei market, which is likely because of the difficult manufacturing and disassembly process. That said, the phone’s relatively lower demand than, say, the iPhones and Samsung devices may be a bigger deterrent for those part makers. Let’s see if this new color option will change HTC’s course.

    Conan Reveals Why Apple Created the Gold iPhone 5S

    You see, the goldpagne iPhone 5S wasn’t designed in Cupertino. No, no, no. It was made by a team outside of Apple located in Miami Beach! By the same guys who wears shiny shirts, gold chains, sunglasses indoors and more rings than fingers. Duh. That makes so much more sense.

    Creative launches a trio of audiophile-grade headphones for Europe

    Image

    We like strapping things to our heads that replace the bad sounds with good ones, so we’re very excited about Creative’s new headsets. The company is launching a pair of audiophile-quality cans, as well as one for the audiophile on a limited budget. First up, there’s the Aurvana Platinum and Gold, which come with active noise cancellation, NFC and HD Voice. Then there’s the ShareMe technology, which lets two users wirelessly listen to one audio source, which’d be ideal for watching a movie on a long train journey. The Platinum will retail for £250 and the Gold for £180, while the more modest Live! 2 — which packs leatherette ear pads and 40mm Neodymium drivers — will set you back £110, with all three launching in October.
