The current rumor has it that Apple’s iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus models in a limited edition (PRODUCT)RED color will be unveiled as early as today, per to an internal memo distributed to Virgin Mobile employees.
Virgin Mobile states that it will add the new smartphone models to its inventory system on Monday, April 9, coinciding with a launch announcement from Apple, which would likely be in the form of a press release. The memo doesn’t mention a (PRODUCT)RED edition iPhone X, so there might not be one.
The memo also mentions the possibility of pre-orders, so it’s unknown as to whether the new red color will be immediately available or ship later this month.
The rumor aligns with previously stated rumors about new red iPhones from both Rosenblatt Securities analyst Jun Zhang and Steve Hemmerstoffer. Ben Geskin also said the new color might be (PRODUCT)RED, after initially saying a new Blush Gold color was in the works.
A recent report said Apple will also unveil a gold iPhone X, which the Virgin Mobile memo does not mention. It’s certainly possible Apple could have a wave of press releases tomorrow detailing availability of the (PRODUCT)RED edition iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, gold iPhone X, and its AirPower charging mat.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
