Apple is rumoured to be gearing up for the launch of an exclusive gold-plated model for its forthcoming iPhone 5S, that could potentially ruin the business opportunity for dozens of specialised traders who custom-make gold plated Apple products.
Trading companies say they might go a step ahead and release new variants to beat Apple’s move.
Collectors Palace, a Dubai-based company that retails gold-plated iPhones, iPads and other brands, says they plan to come up with a Platinum iPad.
A UAE-based trader says he has decided to come out with a platinum iPhone as soon as Apple comes out with the new model.
