Apple Unveils Special Edition (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced it is launching a special edition (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus on Friday, March 24.

PRODUCT(RED) models will be available in 128GB and 256GB storage capacities for the same $749/$849 and $869/$969 prices as the equivalent iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models in standard colors. The anodized aluminum's vibrant red finish is complemented by a white Apple logo and white front bezels.

Apple says the model is in recognition of more than 10 years of partnership between Apple and (RED), which it says gives customers a way to contribute to the Global Fund and "bring the world a step closer to an AIDS-free generation."

"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."

The special edition iPhone joins the current (PRODUCT)RED lineup, which is available to purchase year-round, including the full iPod line of products, Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones, Beats Pill+ Portable Speaker, the iPhone 7 Smart Battery Case, and a range of accessories for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

The new (PRODUCT)RED iPhone will be available to order on Apple's website, at Apple Stores, and at select authorized resellers and carriers. Apple says the new model will begin shipping to customers by the end of March in the United States and more than 40 countries and regions around the world.

The other countries will include Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, UAE, and the UK. Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, Turkey and other countries will follow in April.

Wow. That's sexy!!!

 

[Freida]

Why stupid white front again!!!??? Can we not get black/red version? Which btw, is a very nice combination?
Why are all the colours except two with white front? I don't get this

 

[Eggtastic]

Very nice looking phone. I wish apple would bring back more colors instead of having to use colorware. However, I guess for us using a case it doesn't matter as much.

 

[Sunny1990]

Fugly :- looks more like an aftermarket

 

[macduke]

White front = no sale.

Why, Apple??

 

[dumastudetto]

Gorgeous device, I've got to order this.

 

[dtb200]

and there IS a 128GB SE too

 

[KPOM]

Nice. I wonder if they will carry this over to the new model.

 

[Return Zero]

Dang I wish this were available in blue like the rumors said before release... I'd buy in a heartbeat. Red just doesn't do it for me, though I do think they did it well.

 

[femike]

Hey Tim, I think there's a blockage in that pipeline.

 

[Yourbigpalal83]

god dam it. I just bought the 7 plus in december...had i known a red one was coming out i would have waited..the 8 better have this option on day one!

 

[b13o0r12e3]

if only it had a black front, à la...

 

[spacebro]

This iPhone is the whole update? I looked thru the mac section and only the MacBook pro says its new but it looks like its the one from last year.

 

[Macneck]

hahaha! I feel kind of relieved now!

 

[cardfan]

So another white iphone? Ok..lol Not sure why people care about color of the back considering most use a case but oh well.

 

[boy-better-know]

The finish is really nice, better than the high gloss finish in the concept pictures in my opinion.

 

[newyorksole]

I want ittt.

 

[Hieveryone]

Wow so innovative a new color

 

[dtb200]

White front = no sale.

Why, Apple??

 

[potatis]

Thats fast typing from Macrumor's behalf, I see no announcement, only a banner on the iPhone 7 page.
+ iPad Air has been renamed iPad "new", and iPad mini 2 is gone...

 

[freezelighter]

and there IS a 128GB SE too

Yes but is it updated CPU, RAM, Cam or only 128GB?

 

[bobcat3000]

LMAO. People got excited that a meaningful update to the Mac line-up was on the way...

And then this...

 

[CmdrLaForge]

Looks fantastic but is not the right choice for me.

 

[simonmet]

Would've looked better with a black bezel...
