The iPhone 8 is expected to launch next month

The iPhone 8 is an all but confirmed product, and while we already know pretty much everything about it, there still are a few details that are yet to be disclosed.

A leak that reached the web today allegedly claims to reveal the iPhone 8 colors, which apparently Apple wants to update from the current generations with some subtle tweaks.

The leaked photo reveals what seem to be three different iPhone 8 models coming in colors called copper, shiny black, and pearl, which are more or less new interpretations of the existing colors named Rose Gold, Jet Black, and Space Gray.

While the quality of the leak does not allow us to inspect the photo closer and spot any difference from the existing color lineup, there’s a chance that Apple indeed makes some subtle updates to mark the 10th anniversary of the iPhone.

Deep Blue iPhone? Not so fast

Apple has been hard to convince to bring new color versions to the iPhone lineup. The iPhone 7 series, for example, was rumored to come with a new Deep Blue color, but sources close to the matter claimed the company canceled this version at the very last minute.

While details on this decision have never been disclosed, the iPhone 7 did launch in two new versions, namely Jet Black (glossy) and matte black, but without a Deep Blue variant.

As far as the iPhone 8 is concerned, there were reports that a white version could also see daylight, and this made sense particularly because Apple is already selling a white edition of the Apple Watch.

Right now, however, it turns out that adding new colors for the iPhone is too much to ask for Apple, and the upcoming anniversary model would be available in the same options as the existing models. All details will be disclosed the next month when the iPhone 8 should officially see daylight.
