Apple missed a golden opportunity to bust out a RED iPhone X to go with the (PRODUCT) RED iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus based on the latest mockups from our favorite Apple concept artist.

Martin Hajek came out with some renderings of what the iPhone X would look like with a red coat of paint and it’s absolutely stunning.

Take a look:

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a red iPhone X mockup, but I really dig the red hue on Martin’s mockup. He also created some concepts of what the iPhone X would look like in gold.

The new RED iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are identical to their siblings on the inside — Apple hasn’t made any internal alterations — but on the outside, they sport gorgeous red glass on their backs and a red aluminum frame.

Apple has chosen to give its RED iPhone lineup black displays this year as opposed to the white displays it offered with the RED iPhone 7. It seems most fans much prefer the new combination.
