KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has issued a new research note claiming that the iPhone 5S will be available in gold and have a 128GB storage option.  We also forecast the new model will add a new look, a golden casing, and a new option for larger 128GB storage, to offer greater differentiation from iPhone 5. If there's one thing that we know of KGI Securities Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, his predictions are always 90% true. To corroborate Kuo's claim, several gold parts of iPhone 5S have been seen.

Therefore, A7’s RAM will...
