Ming-Chi Kuo Says 2018 iPhone Lineup Will Have New Colors, Including Gold, Red, Blue, and Orange

I’ve been wanting a blue iPhone for a while. A nice rich, deep, sapphire color under a glass back - beautiful.
If Apple added any never before used color (not counting the hideous plastic 5c), I could see blue being the next choice. I won’t get my hopes up though.
Gold would make sense since it has already been a color choice for many previous iterations. Red is reserved for PRODUCT RED, so technically it will be used eventually anyway. I don’t believe Apple would introduce an orange phone. Just my opinion.

about time, I was wanting this forever ... I am in for the blue (hoping it is the beautiful blue they had on the iPod Touch)
He is at TF International now. Apple negotiated a better deal on providing him with information than KGI wanted. Remember, it's both ways with Ming.
With there being a possibility of having all those colors for the iPhone 9, I cannot help but realize that those are a lot of SKU numbers to handle for pre-order morning so that could only mean that we can only preorder the iPhone 9 but will have to wait till release day to purchase the iPhone X Plus just like what happened to those in 2013 that had to wait in line in hopes of purchasing the iPhone 5s.
For wireless charging reasons, the number of supposed color options, and lastly because they are supposedly lower cost devices, these are most likely going to be plastic casings. I personally have no problem with them if so. I think the 5C color scheme fits today's aesthetics better than it did them.
I was going to say I love the blues samsung used on their Notes and would like an iPhone in a similar finish. But I'd also be just as happy with those iPod Nano colors.
I am just so sick of pink, gold, black, and white. No matter how many names Jony can come up with black.
What I hate the most of these rumors is that the smaller version will be LCD while the larger option will have OLED. Why not both OLED?? I love my X and would upgrade again this year but I’ll be giving up a better screen just because I want the smaller version??
If true then I guess I’ll be skipping this cycle *deep sigh*

I would love a blue iPhone X Plus but I will take gold with a black face too
I like my blue 7+

Mainland China firms typically pay far more than KGI in Taiwan.
It's a natural shift as well given China's economic growth in all areas tech related.
Both the 5.8” and 6.5” will get the same number of color choices. Maybe 3 to begin with and possibly a Product Red at some point. I think offering a nice blue similar to Samsung would’ve been a good move for the Apple flagship phone, but I doubt it will happen. If it does happen with the 2019 model (again I doubt it will happen), that’s the one I’m getting if I decide to upgrade next year.
I want to see Jet Black come back and get rid of Space Gray!

The iPhone flagship usually has both more memory and an additional camera on it too!

Rumor has it that Ming is Tim Cook’s boss!
Please let the 6.1" device have brilliant anodized colors like the 5th Gen iPod Nano and not a polycarbonate case like the iPhone 5c.
Thanks for posting that image.
I’d be all over a red or green one if they used the anodized colors again (or if the yellow looked like that image).
I loved my project red iPod Nano, I would happily plunk down for a red 6.1 (if the price is decent and the screen is not much bigger than my 7+).
Not sure if I believe this rumor. Apple is very neutral with their colors, and I don’t see them adding red, blue or orange. Red is usually exclusive to them with the Product Red, but that’s more limited in production. I do believe however gold seems likely, but every year it seems that it surfaces that some random colors are set to be launched for the iPhone, it never likely happens. This is Ming Kuo making the prediction, so I could be incorrect.
Then Again, they may be wanting to market the newly rumored 6.1 LCD iPhone, and what not a better way by offering more vibrant colors.

Didn’t read the full article, my bad.
