Apple Releases Special Edition RED iPhone 7
Apple today announced iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus (PRODUCT)RED Special Edition in a red aluminum finish.
The release is in recognition of more than 10 years of partnership between Apple and (RED), which gives customers a way to contribute to the Global Fund and “bring the world a step closer to an AIDS-free generation.”
The special edition iPhone will be available to order online worldwide and in stores beginning Friday, March 24, according to Apple.
“Since we began working with (RED) 10 years ago, our customers have made a significant impact in fighting the spread of AIDS through the purchase of our products, from the original iPod nano (PRODUCT)RED Special Edition all the way to today’s lineup of Beats products and accessories for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “The introduction of this special edition iPhone in a gorgeous red finish is our biggest (PRODUCT)RED offering to date in celebration of our partnership with (RED), and we can’t wait to get it into customers’ hands.”
“Apple is the world’s largest corporate donor to the Global Fund, contributing more than $130 million as part of its partnership with (RED),” said Deborah Dugan, (RED)’s CEO. “Combining the global reach of the world’s most loved smartphone with our efforts to provide access to life-saving ARV medication in sub-Saharan Africa, customers now have a remarkable opportunity to make a difference and contribute to the Global Fund through the purchase of this new beautiful (PRODUCT)RED iPhone.”
