After numerous publications reported on the existence of a gold color option for the upcoming iPhone 5S this weekend, AllThingsD and 9to5Mac this morning have reported that gold will indeed be a new option. This is in addition to the existing black-and-slate and white-and-silver options for the iPhone 5. John Paczkowski for AllThingsD: Apple is adding a new color to the iPhone color palette, and yes, it is indeed gold. Sources in position to know tell AllThingsD that Apple, after years of offering the iPhone in either black and white, will soon offer it in a gold tone as well.
