We can’t even imagine the conversations that are taking place in Apple’s offices on Thursday. First a huge leak revealed the upcoming new HTC One A9, which is far and away the most shameless iPhone copy the world has ever seen outside of the Goophone. Not to be left out, Samsung just announced that its flagship Galaxy Note 5 will soon be available in two new colors: Silver and, you guessed it, rose gold.

MUST SEE: Leak: This is HTC’s iPhone

Apple introduced a new rose gold color option on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, and it proved to be quite popular with buyers. While some colors have been surprisingly easy to buy ever since the new iPhones debuted, rose gold models have been a bit more difficult to come across.

Samsung has apparently taken notice of the color’s popularity, especially in the APAC region, because it just cooked up its own version. Beginning on October 23rd in South Korea, the Galaxy Note 5 phablet will be available for purchase in “Silver Titanium” and “Pink Gold,” which is a spitting image of the rose gold color on Apple’s iPhones.

Try to act surprised.

An image of the new Pink Gold Galaxy Note 5 can be seen below, and there’s no word on if or when the phone will be made available in the United States in these new colors.
