In July, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo made the claim that the OLED iPhone 8 will come in fewer color options than LCD models of the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus, in a bid by Apple to maintain the iPhone 8’s “boutique image.”<\/a> Kuo never made it clear exactly how many colorways that might entail, and a few new images today provide a glimpse into one potential possibility, although their credibility remains uncertain.<\/p>\n

Shared on the popular Chinese microblogging site Weibo (via MyDrivers<\/em><\/a>), three new images depict three separate models of the iPhone 8. One is the expected black version, another is white, and the last is what’s described as a “champagne gold” option that’s said to be “closer in copper” in its color. The new colorway is also visually similar to current rose gold iPhones.<\/p>\n

Due to the nearly bezel-less design of the iPhone 8, an all-black iPhone would provide an even more seamless blending into the device’s OLED screen. For this reason, black iPhone 8 components have been spotted more frequently<\/a> in the supply chain, suggesting Apple might only release the device in black, or at least in shades of black. A white or gold-type version would have bezels that more directly clash with the OLED display, particularly when it’s turned off.<\/p>\n

While the images provide an interesting look at a potential new iPhone 8 color, their veracity remains in question. Besides the vertical dual-lens rear camera and slightly elongated lock button, they don’t show any other sides of the iPhone 8 that would support previous rumors. There’s also no indication as to whether they are components directly taken from the supply chain, or if they are dummy models<\/a> made by non-Apple suppliers based on recent rumors.<\/p>\n

In separate color-related iPhone 8 news, leaker Benjamin Geskin last month claimed<\/a> that Apple will make the OLED iPhone 8 available in four colorways, with a “mirror” shade pitched as the new option. Although the recently released HomePod firmware has yet to hint at any iPhone 8 color details, it’s provided information on a wealth of other topics, including the general design of the new smartphone<\/a> and advanced facial recognition features<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
