Today, we all know very well that black iPhone 5 was no win. Only shortly after the launch of its sales, numerous reports of disgruntled users began to appear, who reported that the paint from the aluminum was falling off and revealing its true - silver color. Now, however, it appears that Apple it has already fixed the problems, and the new model will most likely not be problematic anymore. The folks at jailbreaknation.com got their hands on a gold and white cover iPhone 5S, and they, unlike the others, decided that this gold iPhone conquer the scratch test.
The scratch test itself went very well. In this case, the phone was attacked by two threats - the first of which is coins, which practically every one of us has in our pockets. The author of the video himself emphasizes that his Black & Slate model iPhone he wore it with them, and over time this began to be reflected in the color of the cover as well. In the test, we can see that while the black coating did not pass the scratch test, the gold color really sticks to the phone and there is only a small sancand that it will be damaged. The second test was a bit more demanding, as the scratch test used a Boker Kalashnikov 10 knife. The gold paint was scratched, but it did not fall off.

So what about the durability and design of gold iphone is the best choice
: Until a few days ago, the Polka was swearing at people iPhone 5s when it should have had a gold design. You also cursed at the prototype forgotten in the cafe iPhone 4 that she looks disgusting. When the announcement is almost certain, everyone starts to like it. Sheep sheep…
Well, I am one of those who was in favor of the gold alternative from the beginning. I kind of like this shade of gold, but I don't like it, but we'll see how it will look in real life...
It looks nice, but I'll either go with the gray one if it's available or decide between white/black. This one looks girly to me, but nothing against my taste...
Otherwise, the scratch test couldn't have turned out differently, it's aluminum, so what are you waiting for?? everything has its pluses and minuses
armyk: The gray scratch looks different in black than in white/gold...
* There is no aluminum on iPhone 5 anodized by pure chance? So what kind of shedding are you talking about here?
It is anodized…
And if the author is talking about falling off, he is wrong... Aluminum immediately reacts with air in the same way as metal, the only difference is that a layer is formed on it that is solid (does not peel or fall off) and protects the aluminum itself, while with iron it is rust that falls off.
The resistance is practically the same, but it is not as visible in the gold version as the black color in contrast with the silver aluminum.
Anodizing is basically something like wood staining, only it's aluminum. So, of course, it goes to the depth of the material only micrometers. With that knife, of course, he peeled it off, or rather, scraped it down to the raw aluminum.
