Foreigners complain about the gold version of iPhone 5s

Although the two latest iPhones released by Apple seem to lack groundbreaking innovation, they are still the best smartphones in the world. Moreover, Apple, skilled in marketing, used a very simple method to make them highly talked-about: adding colors. Perhaps people were truly tired of the all-black-or-white iPhones. Among these, the most controversial is undoubtedly the gold version of the iPhone 5s, as gold is an extremely polarizing color—either fashionable and noble or associated with "nouveau riche" and "parvenu." Not only Chinese users but also foreign users have many opinions about this color, even sparking heated debates. Let's take a look at how Twitter and Facebook users view the gold version of the iPhone 5s.

Sarcastic Group:

· By 2014, every white girl on Earth will own a gold iPhone 5s - @thats0jack (This seems somewhat racist, mocking white girls for being as shallow as Paris Hilton?)

· The gold iPhone 5s will go perfectly with a shiny case, a pumpkin spice latte, and a pair of UGG snow boots - @KYBlackoutTFM (This person is clearly a sharp-tongued fashion critic.)

· The gold iPhone 5s will be my standard for deciding who not to hang out with - @Creative_Rants (A unique way to choose friends.)

· The gold iPhone 5s is obviously designed for Gaddafis and rich women - @danilic (Typical resentment towards the wealthy...)

Fanatic Group:

· If my mom doesn't buy me a gold iPhone 5s, I'll chop off my limbs in front of her and poop at the door - @EmilyChickxxo (Judging by the name, this is a hardcore woman...)

· I'm going to sell my lung to buy an iPhone 5s - @itslyss_bitch (It seems selling organs to buy an iPhone isn't unique to our country.)

Cynical Group:

· Enjoying watching everyone work hard just to buy an iPhone 5s to show off - @blackemoji (Classic cynicism.)

· Don't let me see any man holding a gold iPhone 5s, too effeminate - @BreauxGod (Extreme male chauvinism.)

· Those moms who bought the gold iPhone 5s will find it looks like a pile of poop from a baby's diaper bag - @ohhdani (Very imaginative.)

Well, it seems the gold iPhone 5s has already succeeded because, no matter what, it has garnered the most attention, despite its obvious polarization. So, have you decided to pre-order?
