Red iPhone 8 and 8 Plus might be coming this week
Remember last year's red iPhone 7 -- the first iPhone to launch as a Product (RED), a special edition line of products that help fund and promote (RED)'s efforts to fight HIV and AIDS?
Apple may be giving the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus a similar treatment, according to a new Virgin Mobile memo, obtained by MacRumors.
According to the memo, Virgin Mobile will be adding red variants of iPhone 8 and 8 Plus to its inventory on Monday, April 9, and a launch announcement from Apple (no event, just a press release) might happen on the same day. The devices will be available for pre-order, which indicates a later shipping date.
The iPhone X is not mentioned in the memo.
Another prominent leakmeister, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, said that the launch will likely happen "this week."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
There were also rumors of a gold/blush gold iPhone X launch around this time, but they aren't confirmed by the memo as it only mentions the (RED) products.
