Now with black front panel
The glass-backed iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus end up having a noticeably different look in this red model when compared to the (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus that came out last year. The red colour on the newer iPhones is a lot brighter and glossier shade, while the older iPhones had more of a matte red finish to them. It is also great to see that Apple listened to its fans and equipped the Product RED iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus with black front panels. The previous Product RED iPhones came with white display panels which just weren’t very aesthetically pleasing.
Specifications
Besides the new colours, all the other specifications remain same of both the smartphones.
