Sorry, but the iPhone 8 probably isn’t coming in rose gold


Sorry, but the iPhone 8 probably isn’t coming in rose gold

According to reliable reports, Apple isn’t releasing an iPhone in rose gold this year. Sorry rose bros.

The first report came early this week from Weibo. MacRumors published a photo found on the social network that seems to display the back of each of the three new iPhone 8 color options. In it, we see that black, silver, and gold — although, if you squint, it looks a little rose gold-y.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo later said the iPhone 8 would indeed come in these three color options.

Kuo, who has built a stellar reputation as a reliable source of pre-launch Apple hardware information, also says Apple will unveil all three new iPhone models at the same time in September, and launch them simultaneously.

As with all pre-launch rumors, it’s merely speculation at this point. Maybe an online petition, or a change of heart from Tim Cook could lead to a late announcement of the pink (but don’t call it pink) iPhone.

Fingers crossed.
