The newest iPhone is expected to be introduced Sept. 10, according iMore.com.
According to AllThingsD, “think champagne, not ingot” in envisioning the gold tone. Apple could be going for the gold to attract more buyers in places like China, which is big on anything gold. “China’s luxury goods market is expected to grow about 40 percent over the next decade. One engine driving that? Gold jewelry sales,” AllThingsD reported.
