Apple's had more trouble stopping leaks about the iPhone 5S than a sieve has had stopping water, but we're certainly not complaining.
How else would we have learned about supposed fingerprint technology, dual-flash camera, or the expected launch event for Apple's next iteration of the popular smartphone?
Amid the reports of the iPhone 5S' hardware and specs, there have also been some rumors about the Cupertino company adding a bit of color to the line.
Though the rumored budget iPhone 5C has been tied to a few different variations in hue, we haven't seen much in the way of actual evidence the same was true of the iPhone 5S... until Friday.
Gold standard
French site MacBoutic uncovered some leaked production photos of a new iPhone 5S complete with a gold shell.
It's certainly tough to verify the validity of the gold case considering there are no logos or markings visible anywhere on the device, however, the fact that the entire piece is gold gives some credence to the idea this hasn't been developed by a third party.
There were leaked images of colored iPhone 5S SIM trays earlier this year, which could also help hint this fabled device is one step closer to reality.
Gold would certainly fit in with the recent switch to metallic cases Apple made with the iPhone 5, and even if gold isn't that bombastic a color, a third, more "luxurious" option could be very appealing to the iFaithful.
In the land of exclusive carrier deals though, one has to wonder if this rumored gold iPhone 5S will be available everywhere.
