2. The article isn't clear...

....is the backing gold-colored? Or made from actual gold?

3. Gold Painted Plastic as opposed to Apple's Gold Anodized Aluminum.

Neither contains any actual gold.

4. So, that's the big thing, huh?

If it was real gold, it would be newsworthy.

I can't believe the media buzz over what is, essentially, one of the oldest options of products sold: color.

Didn't iPhone users nearly kill themselves trying to get a black iPhone a few years ago?

5. White, not black. Apple had to perfect the manufacturing process and was months late with it.

Samsung followed using the same process.

Shocker.

7. I like Apple products...

however, I just bought an S4. I don't understand why Samsung had to copy this, too- they are currently making the better phone.
