Apple could imminently launch a new red iPhone model. It would be a new finish for the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus that would be the successor to the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Plus (RED) that already launched last year and that it was the first red iPhone in Apple's history.
Since the new iPhone 8 and 8 Plsu were launched, as well as the iPhone X, there have been many rumors about this new color for these devices, and according to Virgin Mobile its announcement could be as imminent as this Monday. The new iPhone have a glass back, so the finish will be significantly different from previous models that had an aluminum back.
The announcement has been made to Virgin Mobile employees, who have been told that the new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus in red will be announced tomorrow, and that it will enter their catalog from that moment. According to the text that has reached the employees, and to which MacRumors has had access, at the moment it will not be available in its catalog for direct sale, but it will be necessary to make a reservation with availability from the end of the month. We do not know if Apple will follow this same strategy in its online Apple Store, or if they will be available from tomorrow.
Rumors also spoke of an iPhone X in this color, but the Virgin Mobile document does not make any reference to this iPhone model, so it could be that Apple limited this color to the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, leaving out its smartphone. star, the iPhone X. Recall that last year Apple launched this new color through a press release, along with the iPad 2017. This year it has dedicated an event to the launch of the iPad 2018, but could repeat statement for the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus in red, to which we could add the iPhone X, and who knows if the expected AirPower, the wireless charging base compatible with the new smartphones, the new AirPods (also pending launch) and the Apple Watch Series 3.
