If this year's iPhone is not enticing to me, the red 8 Plus will be my next (after the price cut)

Haha, yeah.
Remember the white iPhone 4?![]()
Because there is no definitive answer from ophthalmologists on whether the Face ID projector tech is safe for the eyes of my kids. Or us adults for that matter. Insufficient data.
So not every single person who likes iPhones is sold on this roadmap for the iPhone’s future, especially if they’re looking for a phone for their teenagers or even younger kids. I’m hoping by the time our 8’s need to be replaced some studies will have been done on this specific application of this specific light emitter and we will know more. Or Apple will come to their senses and include Touch ID back in.
Also some of us just like this series
Like the phone, but not the folio.
I don't get what the big deal is. Apart from the colour, what's the difference and who cares?
Looks EXACTLY like the old one from the front. Meh
Why why why 4 months all new phones just wait the x and 8 are gonna be last gen soon
Maybe because this red iPhone will sell more than every mac mini model combined since its introduction? Just a thought.....hahaRed iPhones????? Where is the new mac mini!11!!!!! /s
Red looks awesome but I would never use my 8+ without a case with it being a glass back

Well if I could see the links to the research they did that would be great. I have seen preliminary research indicating there can be eye damage from some exposure to IR beams, but they didn’t study effects of the kinds and strengths of the light in this particular application for biometric authentication in cell phones. Nor what happens over the course of frequent exposure.
My husband and I and a few other forum members have already experienced cumulative progressive severe eye pain from iris scanners in smart phones. I do think Apple has a smarter implementation than the iris scanner we used, but right now with no published data to consult, I don’t care to trust the gift of eyesight to this particular application of LED laser technology. My husband is fine with it, that’s his choice as an adult. The kids are a different matter.
Already, Apple’s particular presentation of OLED has landed some forum members in the ER or their doctor’s office with severe migraines, despite their never having experienced migraines. This type of OLED has been used before. Yet Apple didn’t seem to anticipate this effect on some of its customers.
So I don’t blindly trust any company, not even Apple, to look after my or my family’s health and safety. The CPSC site is filled with recalls due to reports of death and injury to customers from products that had been successfully marketed for years. Like the crib I used for my own baby.
Do it! Do it!! Do it!!Ordered 8 plus 64gb in red. Got a space grey x arriving later so still debating to refuse delivery or cancel the 8 plus.....got 3 hours to decide. Tick, tick, tick, tick.

Well said. As somebody who is affected by PWM, I want to like the iPhone X, but it’s a pass from me. I never considered the potential effects of Face ID. But given my issues with PWM in their OLED display, I wouldn’t want to chance it at all. That said, depending on what Apple releases this fall I could see myself picking up a 8 or 8 plus if they move their line entirely over to the new design with Face ID. Excellent post though and thank you for taking the time.Well if I could see the links to the research they did that would be great.

Am I the only one that thinks the red phone is ugly and particularly juvenile with a black front? I feel like if you asked a 5 year old what they wanted their phone to look like they would say red and black.
Not that the red/white candy cane was much better, but it didn't seem as juvenile as this imo.

I think they are referring to the 8, not the 7."Otherwise, these iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus models are identical to those unveiled last September, with the new color likely introduced to boost sales."
They also have the glass back of the 8 line as opposed to the aluminum back of the 7 line.
why downgrade, its just a colour people acting like a colour makes everything diff lol
