I bought Apple's leather case when I first bought my SE and while it looked really nice it offered no protection whatsoever. Ended up dropping my phone on the fourth day of ownership and got a nice nick taken out of a corner; thankfully it didn't do any serious damage. Back to the store it went.
Apple should of offer the red in the X and just made it a imited edition after the X gets discontinued! More buyer would buy it till April 2019!

In September it drop $100 across all 8 models!
Some other sites already shared the model specific RED wallpapers, three days ago. Yupp, those that are shown on the device in the marketing. Here comes some sharing is caring for you folks in this thread.

But what would the review say that's new and different?
The delay is a weird marketing approach. I'd love to know how many they sell this year and have sold in earlier years.
Yeah, paint, sure.

But what would the review say that's new and different?
Perhaps for people who didn't buy an 8/8+ at launch he could mention something briefly about the specs, and then direct them to his more formal 8/8+ review? I know that's a nitpick, just to be something more than, "Oh hey look new color. Bye."
I have not been aware that Marques does unboxing videos now (first impressions, sure) but even he was a bit bored by the unboxing.
In the end none of it is important, I suppose I was surprised that he'd do an unboxing video (I do not keep up with his channel anymore).Not sure if anyone has said this already but I would have been tempted to buy it if the screws, lightning port and perhaps even the Apple logo were black ( the Apple logo from the jet black would have looked great, instead of silver). Not sure about the speaker/mic grills yet. The advert suggests they are red but given all the red laser effects who knows. It’s the little things. I preferred last years white front/silver finish.
Personally I’ll stick with my jet black 7 and the newest (PRODUCT) RED leather case for now...

NO ONE should be surprised if the RED iPhone 8 got a bump from 2 GB to 3 GB of DRAM !
Apple's Upper Mgmt has been (slowly) learning the importance of main memory !
Just look at the comments today about a lack of AR apps, as one example !
Devs can't do much with ONLY 2 GB of DRAM !
NOT surprised that Kuo is clueless about it's importance ! ... NO mention of it in his latest Update.

It looks nice, just disappointed it's only the 8. An iPhone X in red would've been an instant purchase for me. Too bad they didn't go with that.
It's a very nice looking phone and it supports a very worthy cause.
I hope everyone that wants one of these is able to get one and enjoy it.

There is because the colour differs from last year. I'll definitely buy one now that I saw the color in its actuality. (I get where you're coming from though, but it's just pure nerd fun for us, haha.)
Looks great no doubt. Definitely like the black face with the red. And the glass back in red looks much nicer than the previous red aluminum iPhone 7. I’m going to wait until this fall and replace my black 7 Plus with a black X replacement. I’m honestly struggling to think of what they will add to the X tech-wise to make it any different than the current X.

Chuckle and an upvote. I like the color. I like the black bezels. But really, it's a bit underwhelming, and I'm not going to go out and buy a Ferrari-red iPhone 8 just because it's red.

What are you talking about? It would be fall-over-in-a-dead-faint surprising. The only thing surprising is that anyone would think that a mid-year color iteration like this would get a 50% RAM increase - at the same price as other colors of the same phone model.

It's a nice color and looks sweet with the black bezels, but I am content with my equally lovely (and priced) Jet Black 7+. No unboxing and dropping on the floor necessary.

Still love my JB 7, and love how the black looks with a well-worn saddle tan leather case.
