Are we getting new iPhone colors?

You might have been seeing this around but KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently reported that Apple might be releasing new color variants for the upcoming iPhone X-like devices. The five new colors include red, orange, blue, white, and grey. It will be available for the “entry-level” 6.1-inch LCD-toting iPhones. These are rumoured to be priced at around US$700 (around CA$915). There is also going to supposedly be a higher-end 6.5-inch OLED iPhone model that will be around US$1,000 (around CA$1,300) and this dual SIM device will come in black, white, and a new gold. There might also be a smaller 5.8-inch iPhone X coming.

There’s a possibility that Kuo is referring to Space Grey and Silver when he talks about “grey” and “white” but there are still four other new colors to choose from. The red might also be a PRODUCT(RED) phone but Apple usually doesn’t release this when new iPhones are launched. These new changes, Kuo reports, might result in significant growth for the iPhone with the $700 variant accounting for 55 percent of sales.

Microsoft put the kibosh on any hope that Surface Andromeda would come to market in 2019, or quite possibly, ever, as per a ZDNet report. Microsoft has a history of deep sixing products ready for release (KIN, Surface Mini), despite having seeded reviewer models and having thousands of units ready to go.
