I can see a Product Red version down the road, but no ceramic back.
 
The shiny edges make me cringe. Scratch city for those. They should be matte.

Agreed - I don't like the blush gold either. I'd probably have gone for the white one had it not had those awful edges. I can't believe that is the real design. I much prefer the look of the iPhone 7.
 
It doesn't seem to have the notch design that all the leaks/rumours are pointing to? Personally, I think it looks great though.
 
This – a completely white body – is the only case in which white bezels might look fine for the OLED iPhone, notch and all. Shame there won't be a white OLED iPhone. And certainly no ceramic body. It would be awesome, but very hard to manufacture and prohibitively expensive.

This is just another render. I first saw it on https://www.apple.com.so/iphone-edition (It's a fake website, not Apple).

The 8 will only come in 3 colours.

That is a render!!!
 
The iPhone will come in 3 colors:

Jet Black (nearly identical to iPhone 7)

White (nearly identical to Apple Watch Edition, black face, white body)

Champagne (new, different gold color due to having to change materials, and black face)

Look how awesome the Watch looks, I think the iPhone would look cool as hell with this color:

I saw some tech blog that the ceramic iPhone 8 will be like the Project Red iPhone for the 7/7Plus. It will come several months later. I'm not sure if it's worth the wait, when you have 8S soon after it. But, I like the idea of a ceramic white iPhone 8. I'm all for it.
