Gold Apple iPhone 5s known as Kardashian phone in Cupertino
When we first showed you pictures of some of the parts used in the gold Apple iPhone 5s, we called them champagne colored. It seems that Apple actually had a more interesting code name for the handset, the "Kardashian phone". This interesting information comes by way of a New York Times reporter, not a scribe for the National Enquirer. The name was used by Apple employees during the entire design process.
