While the earliest iPhone generations came only in the standard black and white options, beginning with the iPhone 5s, Apple introduced gold, space gray and silver models as well.

The new colors were previously leaked by KGI Securities' Ming-chi Kuo, who, as the Verge notes, has a pretty reliable track record on reporting new iPhone details before their official release.
