I think the colour scheme has more to do with iOS 7 no? I could be way off. After all, I don't have a very good track record with predictions about devices and software releases.

In spite of that track record, I imagine that iOS 7 will go gold along with a new iPhone. At this point, I think it's impossible for that guess to be wrong. If that is the case, that should be a fun day for one major reason - the jarring effect iOS 7 is going to bring about for the average iOS user. I've shown some people iOS 7 on my iPod Touch and suffice it to say, it's not going to be a nice experience for many average users. However, the shakeup is better than keeping things as stagnant as its always been (Van critiquing iOS? Say it isn't so! ;)). Short term pain for long term gain.

I saw some very believable images of the iPhone 5C box in various colors, so it seems like that the colors in this invitation banner seem to elude to those phones and as appalling as it is (to me at least), looks like there will be a gold'ish colored iPhone 5S as well..

I'm looking forward to the "shake-up" of a new iOS. I am excited about everything I saw demonstrated in the keynote a few months ago.

So do the rumors include announcement of a new iPad mini too?

No one knows for certain..but most of the rumors seem to be surrounding the iPhone. No idea if the iPad line will get any attention or more information about the Mac Pro or Macbook Pro refresh..just have to wait..:)

Gold is such an ugly color. I'm secretly hoping the graphite color iPhone is real and that it looks good. I may be interested in that color if it looks good.

My wife likes the various colors. I can already see us trading in her iPhone 4 for either a bright red or gold model. (Sorry Stretch.)

Totally agree if it is a real Gold color..but from what I've seen and read, it isn't as much a gold color as just orange..either way it's ugly IMO and I'll be sticking with the black iPhone 5S when I upgrade from my iPhone 4..

Jumping ahead a bit... I wonder when the iPhone 6 will be launched as I'm not convinced I want to go for the 5S yet?

Really?? Just a bit? ;)

If history teaches you anything you'll likely be waiting until September/October 2014.

Unless you're under contract and can't buy the 5S because of that, Apple is offering a no interest 12 month payment plan for the unlocked versions of the iPhone 5S. The offer is good until September 30th. No interest 12 payments is a pretty good deal.

If you do wait until Feb, you might be able to pick up a refurbished model for a little less $$.
