Virgin Mobile UK Says Apple Will Announce (PRODUCT)RED Edition iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus on Monday

Apple would be better off releasing a blush gold X first. Maybe hold off the product red option until the release of the 10s/10s Plus.Most likely due to poor sales. The 8 is the top seller.
A sensible person would listen to all the people having an iPhone X saying they don't notice the notch and that it's not an issue.
Show some restraint. Nobody needs a new iPhone as soon as it’s released.
Talk about first world problem!
In reality, yes. That's why Samsung, Sony, and many other Android OEMs have staggered releases of different colors and limited editions. Ask any regular person what's their criteria in buying anything, including gadgets and cars. Often color is more important than the actual spec. Thus it's a smart business decision, especially knowing there's a long gap (1 year) for a new model release, to pad it with something like a new color release in between.

Yet you have one. Why pay $1k for something you hate? :shrug:
I still find it funny that you're willing to pay $1k for a phone with something that you hate and will see all the time when you use the phone (the notch). :shrug: I guess I'm more careful with my spending.

Forced? LOL seriously?
Hobby, 1k$ is nothing for a hobby imho. I really don't care when people are spending thousands for fishing/hunting gear or whatever.
Alternative is to go Android way, and Apple with all shortcomings is much better eco compared to Android.
X is great device, but it's far from perfect. Notch is going to disappear asap.
Could be anytime in the next 2-3 hrs to sometime before noon.
I just bought a gold unlocked 256GB 8+ Sunday at the Apple store. Not going to return it for another color because I already have a red 256GB 7+ as well. I want to be able to tell the difference between the two phones. Took me half the day to set things up on it and then to finally sync up my 13,000 songs onto it from iTunes.
I'm still curious to see what if anything will be announced later today.
For reselling used ones, i found the matt black has the best value.
I don't care about the notch. I care about the price reaching $1700 for 256G version in my (EU) country. This can't be fixed by any new color and is the no.1 reason why these devices are not selling well (at least outside the US).
i love the notch, but im not a man who loves ordinary things , the camera hump, yes a little to big
hmmmm, if Apple regularly releases my favorite color mid-cycle, I might just wait to upgrade mid-cycle most years.
Rather like when I went S-cycle during 3-4-5 series iPhones.
Gold option doesn’t attract me right now, but red X would.

You should b happy to know that not only does it have a headphone jack, it actually has 2 of them for good measure.
Phone up on the Apple site now. No mention of AirPower or wireless AirPod case in the press release.
