happened to the iPhone 7 as well.
There’s a Product Red iPhone XR. You could get that.
Or get a red case.
Or paint it red with nail polish.

Not being an Apple apologist, but you had 5 months to buy it. And I am positive it’s available both new and used on places like swappa and eBay. Probably cheaper than Apple sold it for at msrp.
I have it. I’m just sad for everyone else who can’t get it now. It’s a great looking phone.
My step father got that phone a few months ago, he liked it better than the regular iPhone colors. It’s a really pretty phone, sad that they’ve discontinued it.
I would LOVE a red xsm.. sadly I don’t have the patience. But since I’m putting a case on it anyways, it most likely wouldn’t even be seen.
I have a 7+ red that’s been discontinued after ~6 mo and I actually like it. More rare

Not likely will happen since they didn’t do it for the X and Xr already comes with one.
Well... I am not sure how much of the proceeds on each sale goes to AIDS research, but maybe the $100 price drop on each unit makes it harder to make that donation... So only the current gen gets it? I remember back in the day, the Product Red iPods were priced $20 if I am not mistaken. Apple has to please the shareholders with profit first....
Check local Apple Stores if you happen to be anywhere near one! My friend got hers yesterday from their remaining in-store stock. SE's and the 6s and other discontinued phones might still be in stores until they sell out, too? I know it's not possible for everyone to get to a store, though.
They are already pleasing shareholders just fine. I think they could do a lot of good with the huge pile of money are sitting on for both consumer satisfaction and charity. I think the product RED phones look really good so I would love to see them as a standard option for all of their phones. Slap a tiny bit higher price tag on it and people will gladly pay it if that price difference goes to a good cause.
You Might be waiting. Because I don’t know necessarily that Apple will offer the XS Product red. Especially being that the XR already offers Product red, I doubt Apple will conflate the two colors between both iPhone models.
