Apple No Longer Offers Any Devices in (PRODUCT)RED Color

[tubular]

In fact, there are no longer any devices available in the charity-supporting color option.

That's a pity. I always got it when I could.

That's too bad. The black & red iPhones look sick. Probably their best color

That sounds like something Tim Cook would do. Tightwad Tim's corporate greed is insatiable.

I heard he may be one of the finalists for this year's Neville Chamberlain award. 🤣

I believe Apple will be donating far more now without (PRODUCT)RED. This is part of Tim Cook's core mission at Apple... to leave the world in a better place than he found it.

His life’s goal? To make sure he left this world with way more money than he came in with—morals, ethics, and basic human decency be damned.

If you actually want to make a difference, donate to a transparent charity instead of splurging on overpriced RED-branded gadgets.

Was always my favorite color, and supported a good cause to boot, hope they bring it back

I guess my last hope for a PRODUCT(RED) iPhone Pro is now gone. I had an iPhone 14 Pro Max Silicone Case. It looks great (except it ages quickly, just like any silicone case). I was hoping to get one for my 15 Pro Max, but it was not an option. I'm happy with my RED Apple Watch Sport Band.

Next up: Apple drops plans to achieve Carbon-Zero. Will start shipping products in plastic wrapped boxes again with styrofoam, stickers, paper instructions and EULAs, chargers and cables a plenty.

I have a few Product(RED) Apple devices and they really stand out - gorgeous color and finish. I've noticed recently that less and less new products came in that color and I wondered if sales for red colors of Apple products in general started to decrease. Perhaps some/many Apple owners find the color paired with an ideology they don't agree with? It is sad, regardless, as the devices Apple made in red had an almost Ferrari-like feel to them - very regal and refined.

Apple continues to support The Global Fund through its annual Apple Pay donation program, which ran from November 29 through December 8 last year.

Perhaps Apple found that the AP donation program was a better way to show support versus making a different color product, which must be expensive and potentially open them up to unsold stock?

It is a pity, the color option was very nice on many of apples products.

The colors on recent products have been very very muted and bland compared to ten or so years ago

Don't worry, you'll still have the choice of light grey, dark grey, natural grey and warm grey.

Don’t forget space gray!

I guess this means we’re not getting a new Pride Band for the Apple Watch this year either. What a shame, I liked them.

It would be Pride, but only for three letters 🙄

 

[JamesMay82]

I always liked the red and had it on my SE. I always wish they had more colour options, more so on the pro.. black is getting a bit boring for me now

Aids is basically cured at this point, so why keep doing it? I mean, you can take a pill and get it so it's not detectable and you can even sleep with people with no danger of passing it on.

Project red is for places where there aren’t local resources to just get a pill from your local Walmart.

I remember buying an Ipod nano in Red color back in 2007. Also used two or 3 iphones throughout the years

 

[wilderkun]

My understanding is that the product red brand is Pretty much over. Apple donated 90% of the money that was made on product red, and most companies stopped making stuff about 2010/2015.
I think Apple now prefers the Trevor project for AIDs/LGBTQ donations, which means there’s 100% chance of a new Pride band

 

[Techwatcher]

Did someone tell Apple they can still make red colored products regardless of partnerships? Tired of this smart dumb company.

 

[cbaca51]

The product red colorway is so damn beautiful and to this day, it makes me sad that they never offered it for the pro models

Not in Africa and some other developing nations. It is about getting testing to communities that don't have access to testing and treatment to communities that can't afford treatment. If everyone gets tested and everyone with the virus gets treated, the virus will be gone in a generation.

I think it’s safe to say at this point that Product RED is on life support. Apple & Starbucks were the 2 biggest brands associated with it & Starbucks hasn’t released any RED branded merchandise since 2021 I believe.

Both of those corporations are now PRODUCT (GREEN)

It is a mystery known only to Tim Cook and his bean counters.

Besides it being for a decent cause, the colour was always one of my favourites.

Look at the new 16e: Black or white. Chicken or Fish…

Yeah, one of the reasons I bought a 2020 SE was product red. Because of the colour.

 

[throAU]

NEver cared for the extreme Red color. Something red-orange or a more muted red would have been better.

It was always good to distinguish your phone from the rest of the phones people would leave laying about. Not many people bought Product Red, so it stood out amongst a sea of black and white iPhones.

Sad to see this. Will be nice to have a red iPhone even if it is not a Product RED. Waiting to see a red colored Pro iPhone. Hopefully Apple will have bright colours for the iPhone.
