Apple to Redirect (PRODUCT)RED Proceeds to COVID-19 Relief Efforts Through September

[coolbreeze]

Can we please stop the madness?

Nobody ever cared about seasonal influenza, including Apple, before all of this bs happened. Donate your money to that, which is a massive killer every single year...that nobody still seems to care about.

Nice.

But virtue signal all over the place, Tim. Make your Wall Street masters proud.

Obviously strategic, and probably only a very small % is "eligible". With that said, it makes me want to buy a product red phone simply to support the cause.

You’re better off just sending the money directly.

Tim could write the Covid relief fund a check for a billion and no one would notice it in the bottom line. This is a rather pathetic attempt at looking good for the cameras. Considering how much skin they have in the China game it is the least they could do.

Wow just wow. Virtue signaling is about looking good, not doing good.

Red! A primary colour. A red iPhone would be cool!

But one can't carry a red iPhone without becoming an advocate of something.

BS?

Did the last seasonal influenza require New York City to have 85 large refrigerated trailers brought in because city and hospital morgues could not handle the volume of daily COVID-19 deaths?

That's just one of hundreds of reasons "nobody cared" as much about seasonal influenza.

very coincidental.....red -> Chinese favourite color ->Wuhan.

Product Red was patiently waiting all this time for its time to shine.

I guess you've never heard of the word "staged". If they need 85 trailers for Corona then they better bring another 300 trailers for influenza and all the other diseases because there are a lot more deaths from those than Corona.

And don't bother posting stats because everyone knows the data is less accurate than my mother's apple pie recipe. They're calling all cases of influenza/pneumonia as death by Corona as well so right from the start the data is useless. I work with the data from WHO, JHU, etc in Cognos and Tableau and the data is a joke. Totally unreliable. All data scientists and analysts are using garbage data.

How is it the city morgue was able to deal with all of those deaths each previous year? Yet this year, they’re packed and require 85 large refrigerated trailers to handle the overflow deaths.

I would like to see the Apple logo on the back be altered a little to look like the actual virus.

It is great to see how many corporations have come through in their own way to assist in the struggle.

Er...let me get back to you on that.

Ya well,, i guess the health departments need all they can get NOW.. (...Assuming their are even health departments in some countries.,)

The bigger problem may have been we all started to late...

This is what happens when we gotta rush.

What's the matter? Apple a public traded company, hasn't done enough for COVID-19 to suit you personally? I suggest you get over it.

 

[koil]

I mean, I feel like Apple has enough money to do both to be honest.

Seriously, the entire world is shut down and tens of thousands of people are dying every day and you're still spouting the nonsense that it's like flu. Dear lord.

Would have been awesome if Apple could have made a variant of the new Magic keyboard for iPPs, that had a red Apple logo to qualify for Product Red.

 

[Freeangel1]

WOW!! everything for COVID19. just blow off HIV which has 37 MILLION infected WORLDWIDE! 37 MILLION!!
How about all the people with CANCER???

Happy to see Apple doing this!

I bought the Product Red iPhone 7 - Which Apple released in March 2017... Gave It to my mom as a gift

I actually got a lot of people comment on that red iPhone 7 carrying it around, I’d like to see Apple come out with a red iPhone 11 Pro!

I had the 7 Plus in Product Red and it was honestly my favourite colour iPhone I’ve ever had. I’ve really been hoping they bring it to the current flagship models... hopefully they will for the iPhone 12?

 

[Black Belt]

They just announced a new iPhone today, including a product(RED) version.

Yeah let’s see how many RED bottom end phones they sell

Yeah let’s see how many RED bottom end phones they sell

To judge by the release thread, at least a few. Including mine!
