Alleged Foxconn Insider Claims Copper-Like iPhone 8 Color is Officially Called 'Blush Gold'

This iPhone 6 ver. III Plumber Edition has spoiled my appetite for a new iPhone.

16gb might be fine for most users if Apple didn't steal part of that 16gb for the OS. Truly, can we get past advertising space as all being available and instead just admit part is used by the OS?

How hard would it be for them to sell a 20g phone where the OS makes only 16g addressable by the user and apps?

Yes, I agree. 16GB is not ultimately 16 GB after the iPhone initializes. Most do not recognize this until they check there storage after they set up the iPhone.

Phil will be blushing once he introduces this new iPhone without an in-display TouchID. Audience will be booing for this and then he'll say "can no longer innovate my ass". He'll try to convince the audience that this is a better technology than TouchID. Then everybody will be clapping convincing themselves that it is the future of technology.:D

Man, I can't stand that loaded guy anymore.
Aleays the same superlatives when selling ******** like it is fruit from heaven
In my dreams someone steps up, grabs him by the waist and rolls him over his belly off the podium. Then someone comes up and says "Indeed, it is ******** what we have come up with for the past five years. We decided to quit and give it to a new generation"

Odd name as the word blush is often associated with being embarrassed.

Look up the "blush makeup" that women use. It refers to a light rose color on the cheeks.

In other words, "blush gold" can be the name of a variation of "rose gold".

Someone commented to that Twitter post mentioned that the correct translation from the Chinese readout is cheek instead of blush by the way.

The idiographs ( 腮红金 ) actually translate individually as "cheek red gold", but the first two in combination ( 腮红 ) mean "blush".

So the correct translation from Chinese is indeed "blush gold".

If the fronts are all black I’ll take whatever is easier to get. Preference is all black but my case will hide the feast anyway. Unless they make a bumper.... I loved the 4/4s bumpers.

Nonsense. Apple is the company that started the whole metallics thing to
begin with, copied by all your knockoffs. so enough with the narrative.

I think his point is that every other non-black iPhone color has historically always included a white front. Silver, Gold, Rose Gold, Red, all white fronts. You have to go back to the 3GS days for a black front with a white back.
 
First of all, give it to me in white. that was the sharpest, cleanest color option. second, no way jose will i ever pay $1,000 for a mobile phone. please don't cater to the 1%

Yeah, but his point doesn't make any sense wrt an OLED display with minimal bezels and a notch; there will be no white front this time.
 
It looks slimmer with the black front. Lol, I'm guessing then that Jony will approve the black front for it. /jk
 
That is so beyond ugly! Whoever wasted all the time and resources developing/testing/meeting about this color should be fired.
 
Looks like a rusted pipe in the sewer...

Who's the target audience for this color? Are they completely out of touch at what colors people want?
 
I'm surprised the very popular gold and rose gold are going away, but I think those colors would look really bad with this material. This new color works with the class I think. I like how were moving on from anodized aluminum, it's time for a change.

Also, why do people think it'll actually be Brushed Gold? It looks nothing like brushed anything. I think Blush Gold is an accurate color description and can see Apple using it.
 
I'm kind of amazed some people on here like it.

I actually like both Rose Gold and the original Gold, but this looks terrible to me. It's flesh colored. Yuck.

Nooo, that that means I would have to get the even more expensive model if I want to have more than 64 GB. I thought for the rumored price of > 1000$ they would at least start with 128 GB.

With colors, there is no such thing as a target audience, because of how preferences differ amongst a Multitude of people. One might find the Blush Gold appealing and someone else (Like yourself) may find it unattractive. Granted this color is different and not traditional, but perhaps this is what Apple wanted if this color happens to be accurate.

Lies! I was told we had decided on "poop brown"!

I hope it looks better in person. And knowing me, this will be the color I choose if I get the 7S because how else will people know it's the new model? I always go for the new color :)
