GOLD RUSH: No Gold iPhone Available Online Until October Due To Overwhelming Demand

Early reports of a gold iPhone mocked the device. But when Tim Cook officially announced the iPhone 5S, the world fell in love with its sleek design.

Unfortunately, it looks like Apple wasn't ready for the change of heart. For whatever reason, the gold iPhone 5S is in short supply for launch.

While all other 5S colors can be at your door in about one week, you'll have to wait until October for a gold phone if you order it on Apple's site in the United States, Australia or England. It took less than thirty minutes for Apple to push back the gold phone's delivery date online, The Verge reports. It's not clear how many gold iPhone 5S devices will be available in stores.

In general, there are fewer 5S devices available than cheaper 5Cs.
