My answer to Why didn’t Apple release a gold (champagne) iPad? on Quora
According to John Gruber: http://daringfireball.net/2013/1...
One other thing the 5S offers that the new iPads do not: a gold option. My understanding is that they tried it, and it just didn’t look good bigger. It works on the iPhone because the iPhone is so much smaller — more like jewelry.
