Many doubt whether the news that the gold iPhone 5s is having a shortage is real or just made up. In fact, according to the Christian Science Monitor, only eBay has the latest model in stock; it's already sold out in other places.

There's something about the gold color that makes the Apple iPhone 5s fans love it better than the usual binary black and white variations made available since the release of the iPhone 4. The gold iPhone 5s is one of the first for its latest line of high end smartphones made out of glass and aluminum. Not to mention its sexy and elegant appeal that went oozing after the tech giant's television advertisement was shown.

If there's one problem that the company is facing right now, it's their lack of supplies. There was some news of the gold version being sold out in Hong Kong and China with a similar situation in Europe and Australia too.

According to iMore.com, the gold iPhone 5s is best suited for those who like wearing the so-called "bling" accessories. The site says that it is the perfect phone to have if you want to stand out in a crowd or among your friends.

The Inquisitr recalls that when it first became on sale, all it took was ten minutes for the shipping timeframe to move from 7 to 10 days. All three storage versions were all instant hits. Some experts are saying that with limited supplies, Apple can maintain a certain kind of thrill for customers who want to own one. However, others are saying too that if Apple won't act fast on it, then it can also be the main factor to lead frustrated customers away.

All in all, with Apple being a trustworthy company for a long time now, the company can surely get their act together and ramp up their manufacturing process of the gold iPhone 5s.
