Apple's New iPhones Will Come In a Plethora of New Colors, Says Report (9to5mac.com)
According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple's new 2018 iPhones will come in a plethora of colors. The 6.5-inch iPhone will be offered in black, white, and a (new) gold, while the entry-level 6.1-inch LCD iPhone will debut in "grey, white, blue, red and orange." 9to5Mac reports: That's a potential five new colors for the LCD model. It is very possible that when Kuo says "grey" and "white" he is referring to the Space Grey and Silver finishes as seen on the current iPhone X. We've mocked up the new finishes by tinting an iPhone X, but note the 6.1-inch LCD iPhone is not expected to have a dual-camera system. However, that still means Apple is looking to introduce four new options. It seems like the higher end models will add gold to the lineup...
The ~$700 6.1-inch LCD 2018 iPhone (which will mostly resemble an iPhone X's design from the front) will have a larger lineup including blue, red and orange. This harkens back to the iPhone 5c era when Apple rolled out a cheaper iPhone sibling in colorful chassis. We have heard some mumblings prior to today's report about Apple expanding the color options for the cheaper phone, but this is the first time someone reputable has reported specifics. It's not clear if the "red" color means PRODUCT(RED)... Kuo also says that the 6.5-inch OLED iPhone Model should be priced around $1,000 like the current iPhone X, and will feature dual SIM capabilities. Meanwhile, the 6.1-inch LCD iPhone X style device should retail for around $700. The other iPhone expected to be released later this year will be a spec-bump upgrade to the 5.8-inch iPhone X currently available.
In other Apple-related news, Intel will reportedly not provide the 5G modems for Apple's 2020 mobile devices.

I think this is a new low for Slashdot. How bad into minutiae of rumours for a crap phone can you get? The only site this oh-so-vital piece of news could fit on would be fashion for hipsters.
The creatures outside looked from Alt-Right to Antifa; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
Culture would includes fads and fashion.
But this is supposed to be a tech news site. Instead we're finding out if a appliance can color coordinate with our shoes.
What else to add? Is /. now "News for Fashionistas? Does a chipset setting determine the colour? Because if it doesn't, this is garbage news.
...first thing most people do is slap a case on them so you can barely see what color they are. It's not like these are iMacs, y'know.
