What’s this? AT&T is planning on pushing a new iPhone color? Well, if Engadget Mobile‘s anonymous tip (the best kind of tip) pans out, AT&T has indeed started to stock “Deep Red” colored iPhones.

In what is purported to be an internal inventory sheet from AT&T, we can clearly see AT&T’s new “Deep Red” iPhones. What’s interesting, though, is the 4GB variant of the Deep Red iPhone. Considering that the 4GB iPhone went the way of the the floppy-disk (remember those?) with Apple’s infamous iPhone price-cut, we’re not sure what to make of the 4GB iPhone popping up in “Deep Red” guise.

Either way, a new color is a sure-fire way to breath some life into a product line. If AT&T and Apple decide to bring the 4GB iPhone back to life in the “Deep Red” color, we can’t see how these things won’t be selling like Twinkies at a fat camp come this holiday shopping season.

    the “INS” in the name would indicate the device is an “insurance replacement”, and it’s also the prefix for iPhones received in-store without simcards.

    The item numbers, R9000 and R9001, are way outside the bounds of what we sell… the items are always assigned a 5 digit numerical-only number.

    Oh, by the way. I work for AT&T

    I would love you forever if you would make a purple iPhone. I love my phone and purple is my favorite color so I would definetly buy a new one! :) There are only a couple of things iPhone dont do that I wish it did!

    it would be nice to have insurance. You should make new colors, and you should seperate pieces so people dont have to buy a whole new i-phone.
