Another iPhone 8 leak emerges, new color.

"Grandma's Bathroom Tile Pink"
Seems like it's the same finish as the Jet Black iPhone 7, which got great reviews.
I remember reviewers saying it looked nice, but that it was more easily scratchable compared to the normal colors.

And going to the Apple store and looking at the Jet Black display model DEFINITELY shows that to be true. The Jet Black looked horrible with a million very visible scratches compared to any of the other 7's on display.
 
That's what the people were clamoring for, the color of pennies.

Where's that sexy-ass Deep Blue phone that was rumored for the 7?

Nah but let's not make TOO much money now.

The camera hump/configuration is so jarring for a reason I can't really explain.

Just doesn't seem to "work" aesthetically.

I agree, it kind of looks like it's just slapped on for some reason, really weird.

It's the same as the iPhone 7+. The dual cameras are for better quality, more zoom and the vertical setup is alleged to be for VR shooting.

Design wise it's horrible.
Color wise it's horrible too.

And Apple wants 1200+ Bucks for that? Looooool

Why come post in a thread for something you're not going to buy just to trash it?

I know the 7+ has it, but for some reason the orientation just makes it look not aesthetically pleasing, maybe because I don't normally see a vertically oriented camera set up.

Gross, and the design of the back isn't great.

Still think I'll end up caving and getting this phone, though. Guess it depends a bit on the price, though.

Fuck VR shooting if it wobbles on a table.

Please tell me that's a protective plastic covering on all those phones and that they haven't actually gone back to glossy for everything. If so, I'll gladly stick with my matte black 7+.

FUCK YOU APPLE NO RED?
(RED) would come later on about 6 months after the release as a special edition. If they decide to keep the deal with the charity for this model. They can't release it at launch because then no one would buy any other colors. Gotta wait until everyone already bought their phone.

Looks like a chinese knock off, pretty sure that's just what it is. Something isn't quite right with the design and colors

The iPhone 8's design doesn't look very good. I thought it was supposed to be a nod to the iPhone 4/4S design. The rear camera oblong looks awful especially on models that aren't black.

this makes me happy, now I'll have a chance to get a jet black on day one while everyone else flocks to the new hotness 😬
