Is this what the 'copper gold' iPhone 8 will be called?

It could be. It could be.

When Apple's executives get on stage next month to unveil the next iPhone, we'll already know almost everything there is to know because, well, they screwed up and leaked the most important details themselves.

The new iPhone will probably have an new OLED edge-to-edge screen, no physical home button, wireless charging, and likely come in a new "copper gold" color. But what will Apple call that hot shade of pinkish-bronze?

According to phone leaker Benjamin Geskin, who has been providing a steady stream of iPhone 8 leaks that have been corroborated by other reports, Foxconn's internal name for the copper-colored device is "Blush Gold."

Geskin sent the tweet with two concept renders depicting the front and back of the iPhone 8 in the new color. His tweet also included "Barcode says 'Blush Gold 64GB / 128GB'". While the tweet might suggest that "Blush Gold" could be exclusive to these two storage models, Geskin told Mashable his Chinese factory sources only saw references to these two specific capacities, but it's possible there's a 256GB version that just hasn't surfaced yet.

It would be a little a little odd for Apple not to offer the new color in the highest possible storage capacity. Currently, Apple only sells the Jet Black version of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus with 128GB or 256GB of storage. You can't buy it with the base 32GB.

It's rumored Apple might bump up the entry-level storage from 32GB to 64GB this year, or only for the more expensive iPhone 8. Apple's also expected to announce new iPhones with 4.7- and 5.5-inch screens that resemble the current iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. They should have newer components and possibly a new glass back design.

Without more information, it's hard to figure out what's what. Hopefully, the new copper iPhone will come with 256GB of storage.

But back to the name. Is this really what Apple might call it? We'll know for sure when Apple announces the new iPhone next month or if more leaks continue to hit the internet. Our guess is Apple will probably give it a name that sounds way more luxurious than it actually is.
