What colors does the iPhone 8 plus have? If you've always wanted a white iPhone. Does iPhone require a special service plan?

Judging by what we've seen over the last 10-15 years, Jonathan Ive's favorite materials are aluminum and glass, but new iPhone to the main the Apple designer had to significantly reduce the presence of the first in favor of the second. Surely users apple smartphones With experience, we were happy with this decision - the iPhone 4/4S form factor with two glass panels and a metal frame between them is still considered by many to be the most successful in the iPhone line.

Color palette iPhone 8 have narrowed compared to previous models, there are only three colors to choose from: silver, gray space and gold.


Are iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus waterproof?

The time-tested design concept of iPhone 4 is realized using more modern technologies and materials - tempered impact-resistant glass and aluminum alloy, the composition of which was borrowed from NASA engineers, should ensure durability and protect the iPhone from mechanical damage, splashes and dust (), and also allow impulses electromagnetic field wireless charging reach the battery without obstruction.

Again, the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are not waterproof, but only provide splash protection ().

iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus display size and resolution

Diagonal Retina HD screens iPhone 8/Plus has not changed - 4.7 and 5.5 inches. The resolution, image density and matrix type remained the same (as in the iPhone 7), but the picture still changed for the better.

iPhone 8

  • Screen resolution: 1334 × 750 pixels;
  • Pixel Density: 326 PPi (pixels/inch).

iPhone 8 Plus

Screen resolution: 1920 × 1080;
Pixel density: 401 PPi (pixels/inch).

First of all, thanks to the use of technology True Tone, which has already been tested on iPad tablets Pro. Its essence lies in determining color temperature environment special 4-channel sensor and subsequent automatic correction white balance on the screen. Coupled with improved contrast, this allows colors to be rendered as realistic as possible.

It is also worth mentioning dual-domain pixels, the use of which significantly expands the angles comfortable viewing. This technology used back in the iPhone 6, placing the pixels not parallel to the perimeter of the screen, but with a slight deviation, which compensates for the unevenness of the glow.

Nobody expected any special hardware innovations regarding the iPhone X camera, but iPhone 8 and there is nothing to say. We have last year’s 12-megapixel matrix, 6 lenses in a wide-angle lens, ƒ/1.8 aperture and optical stabilization in the 4.7-inch model, as well as an additional telephoto lens with an ƒ/2.8 aperture in its 5.5-inch brother (iPhone 8 Plus).

The only innovation is a 4-LED True Tone flash, which illuminates objects more accurately, preventing individual areas from being blown out.

However, iPhone lovers will still notice the difference between the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8. Thanks to the power of the A11 Bionic processor, the developers were able to significantly improve the quality of HDR images, improve autofocus and expand the color range.

In addition, during the development of the Face ID sensor for iPhone X, Apple engineers and programmers spent a lot of time studying and creating algorithms for tracking the user’s face, some of which were used to improve the portrait photo mode. iPhone 8 Plus When shooting, it clearly defines the contours of the face, allowing you to blur the background more naturally and apply new lighting effects.

The front camera also did not receive an update. The new smartphones received a 7 MP selfie camera.





It is not known for certain how exactly Apple separates the concepts of “efficiency” and “performance,” but in the new A11 Bionic processor, four cores are responsible for the first, and two cores for the second. Moreover, efficient cores work 70% faster than in the A10 Fusion (installed in the iPhone 7), and productive cores work 25% faster than in the A10 Fusion (installed in the iPhone 7). And of course, the new chip is superior to its predecessor in terms of energy efficiency

It will be much more interesting to evaluate the test results GPU, when they are provided by independent experts. The fact is that in anticipation of the expected flowering of augmented reality technologies in mobile applications Apple decided for the first time to use a GPU developed by its own engineers.

This is a 3-core processor, which, according to the description, is 30% more efficient than in the iPhone 7 and is capable of playing the most “heavy” AR games without a drop in FPS. At the same time, Apple expects that the release of the updated Metal 2 graphical shell will encourage developers to create applications with console-level graphics.

Wireless charger

Apple has implemented this module in new iPhone 8 and iPhone X with the caption “Logical for a wireless world.” The fact that wireless world, and with it a consortium of manufacturers using the Qi standard for charging mobile devices, has been around for almost 10 years, and seems to have never bothered anyone at the apple company before. At the same time, Apple's own AirPower wireless charging will go on sale only next year, but in the meantime, those interested can charge their iDevices (new iPhones, Apple Watch, Air Pods) using MFi-certified devices from Belkin and Mophie.

Unfortunately, neither wireless headphones AirPods nor AirPower wireless charging are included with iPhone 8 (iPhone 8 Plus).

The new smartphone comes with a standard set:

Prices and start of sales of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in Russia

iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus come in two storage options - 64 GB and 256 GB. The most budget version iPhone 8 with 64 GB of memory will cost Russian buyers 56,990 rubles, while for the top version of the G8 you will have to pay 68,990 rubles.

The 5.5-inch brother is traditionally sold a little more expensive: 64,990 rubles for iPhone version 8 Plus with 64 GB of memory and 76,990 for 256 GB storage.

Pre-orders for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus will open on September 15, sales and deliveries will begin on September 29.

Conclusion

As mentioned above, iPhone 8 looks like a worthy representative of the premium smartphone segment and looks somewhat faded only in the shadow of the iPhone X. However, as a product for the intermediate price category The “eight” will certainly justify itself and will find its buyer, who does not need an exclusively “hi-end” device.

If you have already decided on the model you want to buy, and this could be the iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 PLUS, then it’s time to talk about colors.

I did not add this topic in comparisons, because this point is worth a separate article. You always have to think for a long time about what color device to choose.

There will be a little discussion and I think they can help you:

What colors are there for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 PLUS?

Unlike previous years, this year times Apple I decided not to be as generous with the colors of the new iPhones as in previous years.

iPhone 8 and 8 PLUS received only three colors and they are called: Space Gray, Gold and Silver. A very standard set, but very, very unusual to see such a small selection.

I think you will be interested in seeing all the options at once and here are photos of all the colors:
iPhone 8


iPhone 8 Plus


It is in these colors that you will see people with new iPhones. We’ve become familiar with the overall picture and it’s time to move on to the main part.

iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 PLUS - which color to choose?

Of course, everyone has their own taste and everyone sees something beautiful in what the other does not see. This will be partly my opinion and partly statistics.

Last year was quite difficult on this issue, because there were matte, glossy and regular models. This time, we received three options in a glass case.

It would seem that there are only three options, but choosing a color for yourself is more difficult than it seemed. However, this year we have the following popularity rating:

  • GOLD;
  • SILVER;
  • BLACK.

You may not agree with me on this, but now I will explain my point of view in detail. After all, there is always a logical explanation for absolutely everything.

Let's take Gold. The most spectacular and unusual iPhone 8/8 PLUS this time is Gold. Thanks to the glass, there are some shimmer issues.


It’s also worth noting that this is a happy medium between last year’s Gold and Rose Gold. The color is very delicate and most importantly, it will suit absolutely anyone.

In life he looks simply stunning. If you don't believe me, then just go to the nearest store with Apple technology and see for yourself.

Let's take Silver. Also quite non-standard this time was Silver, which was always behind. The glass case changed this position simply instantly.


If you describe it in words, it’s probably more White color. It all depends on where exactly you are. In some conditions it will be more silver, in others it will be more white.

Such properties give us the opportunity to experience completely new emotions from iPhones. So if you want to have something unique, then this time the Silver color is included in this list.

Take Space Gray. If last year the emphasis was on black, then this time it turned out to be something very, very incomprehensible.


It feels like the phone was simply bleached by the sun and it turns out to be a very faded gray color. First impressions are very mixed.

But, as before, there will always be fans who prefer this option. But for now, the situation is exactly this way.

With the last sentence in this part I want to say only one thing - let’s go to the store and compare devices live. Photos on the Internet and a device in reality are two completely different things.

You should not order blindly if you have not become familiar with the gadget before. Let’s not be lazy, get your butt off the couch and go try out new devices from Apple.

Think about the fact that this is the device you will see most of the time every day. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s morning or any other time of the day.

What color iPhone 8/8 PLUS should a girl choose?

If you are choosing an iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 PLUS as a gift for your girlfriend or wife, then here are a couple of tips for you when choosing.


To be honest, last years had a pronounced Rose Gold color, which was very obviously bought by girls for the most part. Although I have also met guys with such iPhones on the street more than once.

The situation with the general choice has not changed at all:

  1. GOLD;
  2. SILVER;
  3. BLACK.

Gold and silver, the female sex has always loved and will love. First of all, they are very cute and of course are associated with precious metals.

If the first two colors will probably be a win-win, then with Space Gray it’s already more difficult, because it’s very, very rare to meet a girl with a black iPhone.


We discussed at the editorial board and decided what to read iPhone review 8 in the usual format is of no interest to anyone. We decided to do things differently and prepare several materials on the phone’s features. Talk about its new fast charging, its advanced camera, because, in general outline, it turns out that this is still the same familiar iPhone 7. But there are so many minor changes, that it would be ugly to forget about all this overnight and continue dreaming about the iPhone X.

Sluggish start to sales

Sales of the iPhone 8 have begun, but the phone received a cold reception in Russia. You can even say differently, he is not interesting at all yet. Enterprising guys quickly purchased phones, but prices collapsed rapidly, the price of the phone fell within a day, very quickly, this has never happened before. Why are people not interested in a new device? Because Apple itself killed sales when, at the presentation of the new iPhones, 10 minutes after the announcement of the iPhone 8, they introduced the iPhone X. That’s all, everyone wants a new one, original iPhone, not a replica of the 2014 design.

If top Apple iPhone 8 Plus 256 GB began to be sold for 180,000 rubles on the evening of September 22, then the next day it was already sold for 73 thousand rubles. It blew, and prices fell, a nightmare for those who brought devices for resale and did not have time to quickly find a buyer.

What color should I buy new?iPhone 8?

Last year, Apple rolled out the iPhone 7 in different colors. Classic “gold”, “rose gold”, silver, matte black, glossy black and even fire red version. Six colors, wow! Now the choice is more modest: silver, gold and “space gray”, not enough?!

The most masculine color is golden. In this color, the iPhone looks especially gentle and cute; only a man who is strong in spirit and strong in body will choose this color. Seriously, this milky pink iPhone will be given to unloved girls on March 8th. Because your loved ones will buy an iPhone X.

The silver-white color looks simple, somehow even a little Chinese, forgive me for saying so. But the combination of glass and brushed metal on the sides leads to the fact that new iPhone It looks unexpectedly simple, because the glossy sides were left for the top-end iPhone X. It’s a pity, because the design must be expensive for it to feel like money was spent on it; the iPhone 8 still belongs to the top line of smartphones.

"Grey Space" in my opinion was not a success at all. Remember what metal iPhones were like? They were a noble dark shade, they were beautiful, but here they were some kind of pale gray color. It's as if the phone has faded after being left in the sun for several days. Yes, this can be explained by the play of light, and besides, the glass glares, but if you dreamed of a glossy black iPhone 8 Jet Black, then you won’t get it, it’s a completely different shade.

When they brought us a bunch of boxes with new phones on Friday, we quickly unpacked everything, opened it and looked at what was inside. I was disappointed with the contents; somehow the new items look very Chinese. Although, judging by experience, you often don’t like everything new, and then you get used to it. We'll see what happens after a while, but the long-awaited Space Gray color disappointed me - this was not the iPhone I was expecting. I think it’s a matter of habit; as usual, you’ll get used to it and fall in love with it, but there’s no wow effect, and you don’t feel like running to the store for a new product.


Why do they exchange one iPhone for another, buy it because of its characteristics? No, the capabilities of the phone have long ceased to excite the imagination. We’ll leave all these benchmarks, Antutu tests and other geekbenches for the Android world. No, iPhones are loved for their design and appearance, for their feel.

Apple released the iPhone 6 and 6s in the same design for two years in a row, then a glossy-pre red iPhone 7. But the body features remain the same, nothing has changed, it’s still the same phone from 2014. Now Apple has retained the same features, but presented a new vision of familiar forms, replacing the metal back panel on glass. If you carry your iPhone without a case, then perhaps gadget lovers will notice that you have a new phone in your hands. But in the case, no one will understand that this is a New Year’s phone. And yes, the old iPhone 7 cases fit the iPhone 8, it seems like a small thing, but it’s nice.

In general, it’s a talent to take iPhone design 2014 and sell, sell, sell it again, without any special changes. Just slightly changing the features of the phone, but not inventing anything new. It will be fun if Apple again rolls out an updated model with the same features in 2018. No problem, we’ll grumble and buy again.

I don't like cases and have been using my iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black without a case for six months now. Scratches? I don't care, I like the color and the feel of the case in my palm. In my opinion, the matte sevens turned out more slippery than this gloss. If you are in doubt whether to buy the eighth iPhone or not, fearing the glossy body, then don’t worry. Hide your phone in the case, it won’t slip. And so, the sensations are exactly the same as from “jet black” - the surface is smooth, pleasant to touch.

Is glass unreliable?

There is an opinion that if you buy a glass smartphone, you are dooming yourself to pain and suffering. They say he dropped it, which means he broke it. In fact, it's not all that scary. Apple announced that the iPhone 8 received the most durable glass possible; such reliable glass has never existed before. Sounds good, but what happens in practice? Valentin spent detailed testing, iPhone 8 suffered a series of falls. Yes, in the end it was broken, but I doubt that any other smartphone would have withstood such a test. And in general, all these drop tests are just games of chance, either you will be lucky or not, as it turns out. But I can say one thing for sure: after what you saw, you are no longer afraid for the fate of the phone. In addition, you can always attach a case, it will soften the blow if it falls.

I want something bright

Apple didn't have many phones, and the design hasn't changed much over the past 4 years. Wide frames, big sizes Apple still lives in the past, but they forgive it for that. For me the most a convenient iPhone The SE was and still is a great little machine. I really liked the Space Gray color, but to get an iPhone in this color, you need to buy the old 6s, Apple limited the choice. And as you can understand from the text, the design of the new eights did not impress me. If I were Apple, I would try to revive the multi-colored 5C, remember those bright colors? Blue, green, yellow... Combined with glass body they would stand out against the general background. For example, here is a photo from Google Pixel XL, look how beautiful it is against the background of the gray-black mass.

Further more

There are several more stories to come. I want to write about iPhone camera 8 Plus compared to iPhone 7 Plus. I think I’ll also tell you about the screen with True Tone; of course, I’ll also need to test how the phone works with different chargers. I myself am wondering whether it makes sense to buy an expensive power supply for 5 thousand rubles for fast charging, or a regular iPad unit will suffice, but it costs 3 times less.

With each new smartphone, Apple tries to surprise users or diversify their experience. existing technologies. Sometimes it turns out really impressive, like with the iPhone 7 Plus. This article will review the iPhone 8 Plus and give you an opinion on whether it's worth the money.

A distinctive feature compared to the iPhone 7 Plus, which was also reviewed, is the ability to shoot in 4K resolution at 60 fps (only 30 fps was available in the 7 Plus). The battery has also become slightly smaller.

Official price - from 46,900 rubles.

Equipment

The iPhone 8 Plus is the same as the earlier model and differs only in size, which is exactly the same as the iPhone 7 Plus. This even allows you to use the same case.

On the other hand, using an old case for the iPhone 8 Plus is an unconvincing idea due to the fact that it will not feel new smartphone, if you had 7 Plus before. Of course, what is new in the design sense is glass rear end housings.

Apart from the obvious advantage of appearance, there is also a practical benefit: the smartphone is less likely to be scratched compared to the iPhone 7 Plus in black. And this despite the rare use of the case.

However, it is obvious that using a case reduces the likelihood of external damage to the device and keeps it beautiful for longer. appearance. Therefore its presence is recommended. This is understood in the most Apple, which has released a number of new cases. One of them is charcoal leather:

Regarding the colors of the gadget, it is worth mentioning that pink and “black onyx” do not color the iPhone 8 Plus. Instead, there are new colors - “space gray” and red, which are not suitable for everyone, unlike white and gold, which are more universal.

Display

The display parameters are no different from the iPhone 7 Plus: the same 5.5″ with 1920×1080 resolution and IPS matrix. From the point of view of modern realities, these are not record values. But the quality of the picture on the screen depends not only on resolution, but also on other technologies.

The display surface is a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface, which ensures no scratches. Its anti-glare properties are better than, for example, Google Nexus 7.

The screen of the iPhone 8 Plus is darker (brightness in the photo is 104 compared to 113 for the Nexus). The splitting of reflected objects on the phone display is weaker. This indicates that there is no air space between the outer glass and the surface of the matrix (OGS - One Glass Solution screen type). Due to the smaller number of glass/air boundaries with significantly different refractive values, such displays look better under intense external illumination.

But if the outer glass is cracked, the repair will be very expensive, because you will have to completely replace the screen. By the way, it has a grease-repellent coating (the same quality as that of the Nexus 7), which means fingerprints appear less frequently and are removed better compared to regular glass.

The highest brightness level (when adjusted manually), displaying a white field on the entire screen, was approximately 580 cd/m², the lowest - 2.7 cd/m². These are tangible values, and taking into account the high-quality anti-glare, the readability of the information on the display even in bright sunshine outside will be pleasant.

In complete darkness, the brightness is reduced to a comfortable level. There is automatic brightness adjustment when using the light sensor, which is enabled by default. This allows the smartphone to automatically adjust the display brightness depending on the ambient lighting conditions, but depends on the position of the brightness slider that the user has set.

So, without external influence, the brightness level in complete darkness will drop to 3.0 cd/m², in office light (~500 lux) this value will be around 100-160 cd/m², and in very bright light (20,000 lux) - 670 cd /m², which is highest value than with manual adjustment.

iPhone 8 Plus has built-in night Night mode Shift, which makes the image on the screen warmer (this level is user adjustable). This is a beneficial feature for the eyes, ensuring greater productivity and reducing additional stress on the eyes.

The system also has a True Tone function. When it is turned on, the color balance of the display is adjusted to the environment. For example, True Stone is activated, after which the phone is placed under LED bulbs with cool white light. As a result, the color temperature will reach 6900 K. With a halogen incandescent lamp - 6100 K. The actual operation of the function coincides with expectations.

Performance

iPhone 8 Plus runs on Apple processor A11 Bionic is a 64-bit SoC with six cores: two of them are high-performance, the rest are energy-efficient. At peak load, all cores work together. The prefix Plus also means that the quantity random access memory was increased to 3 GB compared to the younger version. These changes add up to the performance results shown below.

It's worth starting with tests in Safari browser: SunSpider, Octane Benchmark, Kraken Benchmark and JetStream. The testing also included iPhone 8 and 7 Plus.

As expected, the 8 Plus is ahead of the 7 Plus by a confident margin, but the 8 could not be surpassed, despite the difference of 1 GB of memory.

Once again, the 8 Plus comes out ahead of its predecessor (especially noticeable in Geekbench's CPU and RAM tests). But there was no significant advantage against 8, and in AnTuTu the value was generally lower. Thus, we can say that the increase in RAM does not provide the necessary indicators for better results in these tests.

The next group of benchmarks is designed to test performance graphics chip. For this, we used 3DMark, GFXBenchmark Metal and Basemark Metal Pro, developed specifically for devices that support Metal technology.

Note! Offscreen tests mean displaying a picture in 1080p, regardless of the actual display resolution. Onscreen adjusts the image to match the gadget's display. Therefore, the former denote the abstract performance of the SoC, the latter - comfortable work applications and games on a specific device.

Looking at GFXBenchmark, the iPhone 8 Plus did not significantly dominate the 7 Plus, but was again inferior to the 8. From a logical point of view, this is understandable: a lower screen resolution shows more frames per second. But in all tests with a specific resolution, the 8 Plus is ahead of the younger version.

As expected, the 8 Plus leaves the 7 Plus behind by a more significant margin than in the previous benchmark. But in comparison with 8, the difference seems to be a calculation error.

And finally - Basemark Metal Pro.

Again, the iPhone 8 becomes the leader, as in GFXBenchmark. However, the difference in the calculated points is not that big; even the iPhone 7 Plus is not so far behind.

After this, we can say that the iPhone 8 Plus is approximately equal to the iPhone 8, and the increase in RAM did not provide the expected performance increase. Regarding the 7 Plus, the difference is more noticeable, but in different modes the values ​​vary significantly.

Cameras

As before, the difference between the cameras of two iPhones of the same generation comes down to the presence of a second lens with optical zoom in the Plus version. Regarding the iPhone 7 Plus, a weighty argument has emerged - the ability to shoot 4K video at 60 fps (7 Plus - at 30).

Camera shows good result even in the evening in cloudy weather or when there is wind. The program selects the exposure so that the leaves are not blurred and small details do not disappear due to noise.

The gadget has two cameras, just like in the previous generation Plus. In fact, only the focal length differs. In the G8, the optical zoom was removed and the cameras were given some tricks: it is recommended to use a wide-angle camera during normal shooting, tele - for portrait. However, it’s still worth looking at the zoom in action:

It can be seen that the portrait camera shows a slightly worse result: some places are blurry, there is more noise and, in principle, a “soft portrait image” is created. On the other hand, telephoto lenses in this form factor cannot yet do the same.

Here's the result of a typical portrait camera, albeit not in great conditions:

Insufficient lighting does not allow showing all the advantages of the camera, but it still shows good results. And since a wide-angle lens doesn't provide as much quality geometry at such a close-up, the quality of this camera is commendable. By the way, many modes have also been added for portrait photography for different scenarios.

Autonomous operation

At first glance, it may seem that the battery capacity is so small that the charge is barely enough for half a day. However, in practice, everything is different: with regular calls via mobile and Internet networks (about 1.5 hours a day), communication in instant messengers, active web surfing, push notifications Email About 40 emails a day and light use of the camera, as well as Apple Watch and AirPods, the battery lasts for two days. That is, if you start using your phone on Monday morning, the next charge will be needed on Tuesday evening.

This is an excellent performance, roughly similar to the iPhone 7 Plus given heavy use. Of course, using high-performance applications or watching videos for a long time, this value will be different.

The disadvantages include uneven battery discharge. If at the end of the first day about 65% of the charge remains, then at the end of the second it is practically gone (this despite the fact that 1-2% is consumed per night).

Carrying out tests in different operating modes showed the following results:

iPhone 7 Plus- 12 h2 hours 13 minutes
6 hours 55 minutes18 h 15 min2 h 10 min

After using the Basemark Metal test twice in a row, the phone's thermal image showed the following:

The top one heats up the most right part gadget, where the SoC chip is likely located. According to the heat chamber data, the maximum temperature reached 41 ⁰C (at 24 ⁰C in the room). The 7 Plus gets just as hot.

You can't miss the presence of wireless charging. iPhone 8 Plus supports the most popular Qi standard. Find wireless ones in retail charging device not as easy as in online stores. Prices start from 1000 rubles.

Taken as an example cheap charging Buro Q5.

The result of her work is not very rosy: half an hour after the start iPhone charging charged approximately 12%. It will take at least 4 hours to fully charge the gadget. It is worth noting that the current strength of Buro Q5 is 1 A. There are also two-amp devices on sale, but their price is at least 2000 rubles.

As for the proprietary AirPower wireless charging, users have differing opinions. The fact is that on the eve of the announcement of this device from Apple, the Chinese released a similar solution, which already shows decent results in practice and, of course, costs much less.

conclusions

A full review of the iPhone 8 Plus gives you an opportunity to understand what advantages and disadvantages the user will encounter after purchasing it. When compared with the previous generation model, the performance gain is obvious.

The dimensions of the gadget are larger than the younger version, but a full battery charge lasts for a couple of days. iPhone 8 Plus is ideal for normal everyday use. There is no big reason to upgrade from 7 Plus or even 6S Plus, but if you have more old version phone, but you don’t want to overpay for the iPhone X, then the iPhone 8 Plus is the best option.

After all, it is color that becomes the expressive difference between iPhones. We'll help you decide what color iPhone 8 to buy and why it might not be as important as most buyers think.

Apple has added a fourth iPhone 8 color option this year, offering a total of four options including: red, silver, gold and grey. And this is a reduced proposal from last year with six colors, but there are some more important points, which you should consider when choosing the color of your iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus. Apple offers the same colors in all countries, and all colors are available in stores, so you don't have to worry about exclusives.

New rediPhone 8.

Apple added new color Product RED for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in April 2018. “This Special Edition (PRODUCT) RED iPhone features a stunning red and black color combination and offers customers the opportunity to make a difference in the fight against HIV and AIDS,” said Greg Yoswick, Apple's vice president of Product Marketing. “iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus improve everything we love about iPhone, including Retina screens HD that is more beautiful than ever, the most powerful and smartest chip in a smartphone with the A11 Bionic, and the most advanced cameras for incredible photos and videos. We're proud to support the RED program for this bold new iPhone and hope customers consider this step important, just like us."

The new iPhone 8 design relies on a glass back, which may change the way you use your case and may have an impact on iPhone color 8 whichever you want. Apple is offering a new gold color with the iPhone 8 that's a little different than the gold iPhone 7, so you'll want to take a closer look when you get your hands on it. Apple still uses two different front colors with the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, which may be more important to some users than the overall color.
