We'd be very surprised if what is shown here isn't
aftermarket iPhone X rears, or elaborate knockoffs out of China, but the panels
are certainly a food for thought about Apple's upcoming iPhone trio in the
fall. The iPhone X is currently only available in the classic white and black
versions (officially dubbed Silver and Space Gray), but rumor has it Apple may
introduce new colors for it, or its successor this year, to spice the variety
up. Moreover, it has been hard enough for Apple to produce a sufficient amount
of units at the beginning, thanks to the complicated TrueDepth camera, that it
didn't want to add yet another hue complexity to the production process to
manage.
This year, however, the production kinks must have
already been ironed out, and Apple could introduce new colors for its notch-y
iPhones. Now, what would these colors be? While we already rendered out the
iPhone 9's eventual colors, now claimed new iPhone X (or Xs) color models
posted on a Mac forum, and subsequently deleted, are showing the phone in green
and violet.
Apple's fall crop is now all expected to sport OLED
displays - previously the "affordable" 6.1-inch iPhone was said to
come with LCD panel - and notches housing a TrueDepth camera kit. The rumored
iPhone X Product RED edition didn't materialize, but Apple is now expected to
offer more colors for its fresh 2018 iPhone cohort, or else someone will be
disappointed there is no "Peel Green" or "Violet" versions
of phones that are likely to land at US$ 800+ price tags.
