Apple to Donate Up to $1 Million to (RED), Outs New (PRODUCT)RED Gear in Honor of World AIDS Day

They should also create a RED Macbook PRO, so the color would match it to the color of their owners faces when they find out they have a one year old processor and they need to spend an extra 100$ for dongles.

In Africa, it does affect a large number of children via birth. A for effort on the bigotry though.

To be honest it is you that sounds like the bigot.

He said he'd prefer to be donated to other illness. I don't see anything wrong with that, he and many others might think that Cancer and other illnesses are more deserving.

Who are you to say that is right or wrong. Not everyone shares the same opinion.

It amuses me how the hateful labels start popping up as soon at anyone thinks the money should go somewhere else. Goes to show who the real closed minded haters are.

Is it a coincidence the products laid out look like Africa?

So the company that literally has billions of dollars in surplus can only spare a paltry million, and we're supposed to be impressed by this? Wow.

EDIT: On second thought, this really isn't something I should be getting in to. Blood pressure and whatnot.

I may never understand those who applaud to this distasteful act of greed disguised as charity.
There is no dignity in this.

$1 million from Apple is like a penny for the average person

And to the charity who is receiving the money, it's like a million dollars.

Their evil little beancounters came up with this as the cheapest possible donation they could make and still get off with positive impression.

Mr Burns from Simpsons couldn't have done it better.

True.

Of course, if Apple customers spent $100 million with the intention of helping out, the charity would still see only $1 million... while Apple silently pockets what many people might think was a viable matching purchase.

Apple Pay spending everywhere is supposedly over a million dollars an hour, so Apple's "up to $1 million in spending" with Apple stores/services might happen in just a few days... while the PR will last all week.
