    I could do with wireless charging.

    Then the 8 is the cheapest for you, contrary to what others say though, if you don’t like the 8 rather consider the XR, the X is last year’s model and will still cost around the same as an XR (it’s also officially discontinued by Apple). Unless you can find an X that is significantly cheaper, that is.

    Is the PRODUCT RED 8 any less of a phone than the regular 8 ?

    It's exactly the same apart from the limited edition colour of the case.

    As far as I understand the specs are the same as 8, the phone being a special release by Apple in 2018 to help fund research into Aids & HIV in Africa.
  • Apple are still using the numbering system. It’s just that they have changed to Roman numerals for the X (10) release. I would personally recommend XR. Just upgrades from an 8 plus and the camera quality and screen resolution is significantly improved!
    Before you make a decision, can you not go into the Apple store? Or compare models on the website?

    Makes you wonder why they did that and where next from the X.
  • They missed out 9 due to it being the tenth anniversary of the iPhone, hence it being called the ten.
    I’ve no idea where they are going next with the numbering system but we will find out in September. :D
