# Red iPhone Photos

![](https://web.archive.org/web/20100408132448im_/http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/red_iphone_150.jpg)A red colored iPhone has been on the rumor mill for some time, but today French blogger [Steve Hemmerstoffer](https://web.archive.org/web/20100408132448/http://www.nowhereelse.fr/iphone-red-edition-14497/) sent us some photos of one. He told us via email that the source was anonymous. We’ve heard already this year about a pink iPhone hitting eBay, which [Engadget thinks](https://web.archive.org/web/20100408132448/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/02/mysterious-pink-iphone-3g-hits-ebay-cue-onslaught-of-rumors/) was the result of “some OEM in Asia whipping up custom colors.” We’re a little skeptical too of these red iphone photos, but with Macworld nearly upon us…who knows? And it *would* make sense for Apple to release a red iPhone for the [Product (RED) campaign](https://web.archive.org/web/20100408132448/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/red_web.php).
