The device is unlikely to be "a totally blinged-out gold," according to TechCrunch's MG Siegler, but a more subtle "champagne" colour - similar to the previously released gold iPod Mini.
A gold iPhone would likely do well in the Chinese and Indian Markets, where the colour is very popular. Once considered gaudy, gold is now reportedly one of the most popular after-market colour adjustments for current iPhones.
Apple has also launched a trade-in programme, in a bid to encourage more users to purchase iPhones through its own stores and to upgrade.
The Clic and Walk app, available on Apple iPhones and Android devices, pays users up to £3 for every picture they take.
Users of the app are given tasks, such as taking photos or writing a review, for businesses who want to measure their consumers experience in real time.
The tasks take anywhere from three minutes to 30 minutes and users of the app are only sent on the task once they accept it.
The app is used by 50,000 mobile customers and businesses who use the service include furniture maker Ikea and technology firm Logitech.
According to reports, the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD will run Google's Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system, and feature a high-resolution 1920 x 1200 display with Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB RAM, front-facing camera, Wi-Fi and mobile connectivity.
The 8.9-inch version, meanwhile, will feature a 2560 x 1600 display, which would pitch it at the same level of sharpness as the Google Nexus 10.
The Kindle Fire HD launched last year and succeeded the extremely successful original version. Amazon was one of the first players in the 7-inch tablet market but now faces stiff competition from the likes of Apple's iPad Mini and Google's Nexus 7.
