Rumor: iPhone 5S about to become colorful?

Iphone 5

It's about that time when numerous Apple rumors start making their way to the masses. One popular rumor is in regards to next iPhone, presumed to be called the iPhone 5s (if they follow their past naming traditions). According to Bgr, Brian White, a Topeka Capitals Market Analyst, has somehow gotten the scoop on the next iPhone from Apple's suppliers. He claims that the next iPhone will be fundamentally changed compared to earlier models. He also predicts that the next iPhone will come in 5 different flavors: White/Silver, Black/Slate, Yellow, Blue, and Pink. If this is true, this will be the first time in iPhone history where a different color palette will be used alongside then typical white and black. The new iPod touch, which is like a little brother to the iphone, has already started this trend so why not the next iPhone. In addition to the array of colors, White also believes that Apple will release the phone in multiple screen sizes, similar to what Samsung is doing with its Galaxy handsets. If both of these rumors are true, it shows that Apple is starting to really stray from tradition with their phone line. It will be interesting to see how it will all turn out when we arrive closer to the rumored release date of the next iteration of the iPhone in May/June 2013. As for now, it's all speculation.
