On Sept 25 I stood in a long line at the Northridge, CA, Apple store waiting for a 5S. By the time I got to the head of the line all they had was 16 or 64GB in Space Gray. I liked the color well enough, but was pretty sure that 16GB was borderline for me. On the other hand, the 64GB at $400 was vast overkill, so I took the 16GB thinking that within the month allowed for returns and exchanges I would exchange it for a 32GB model.
About an hour and a half ago (3 p.m. PST) I was in the Northridge mall, and just for laughs stopped by the Apple store. I showed the guy my 5S and asked whether they might have gotten in any like it but in 32GB, AT&T. He replied, "Sorry, the only thing we have in 32GB right now for AT&T is the gold color."
Sorry? SORRY? This was the very definition of pure dumb luck. Needless to say I walked out with the 32GB gold 5S.
As many have said, it's really not "blingy" at all; it's quite easy on the eyes, in fact. I'd have to say that after years of black or silver phones, it makes a nice change. Except to my wife, who's tied to her corporate 4S.
