As with a very other red case it will start to luck dirty from material dye staining within a month. I had a red leather case and within six months its with venous blood red with black rims- I wear a lot of dark trousers.
Got a tip for us?

I understand the cause I just think its not charity, you’re buying a new phone and pretending it’s a charitable experience which it isn’t.
You can apply it to whatever you want and I would say the same. I’m wearing a product red watch band now, it wasn’t a charitable purchase I just wanted a red watch band.
It’s facebook activism, people like to feel like they’re doing something without doing anything.
Seems You don’t understand the cause. No one is pretending when a portion of the proceeds are contributed towards to the Global fund. Rather somebody chooses to acknowledge what the proceeds are intended for, is an entirely different reason. Your argument was someone else could purchase a secondhand phone and donate yourself, which how many consumers are actually willing to do that at all? Not many and The intent is to purchase a new phone, not a used phone. The consumer can purchase the Product Red iPhone supporting the cause that will donate the proceeds directly, which Apple has a lengthy history of supporting thousands cause for reasons already stated.
Looks too red
Apple early this week introduced new (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8 and 8 Plus models, which officially launched today. As of this morning, the new (PRODUCT)RED iPhone devices are available for purchase in Apple retail stores, and the first (PRODUCT)RED orders have been delivered to customers.
We got our hands on one of the new candy Apple-colored devices to check out how the new bright red shade looks with a glass body, and, as is no surprise, it's gorgeous.

Apple in 2017 introduced (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models, but those devices paired an aluminum shell with a white front plate. 2018's (PRODUCT)RED options are arguably more attractive with a glossy red glass backplate, a red aluminum shell, and a black faceplate for the first time.
The red and black combo is undeniably attractive, and the iPhone 8's glass body looks fantastic with such a bright red shade. Other than the new color, though, the (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are identical to existing iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus models introduced back in September.
Apple's (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are priced the same as other iPhone 8 models, with Apple charging $699 for the 64GB iPhone 8, $849 for the 256GB iPhone 8, $799 for the 64GB iPhone 8 Plus, and $949 for the 256GB iPhone 8 Plus.
Ahead of the unveiling of the 2018 (PRODUCT)RED devices, there were rumors suggesting Apple might also debut a (PRODUCT)RED iPhone X, but no red iPhone X materialized. Instead, Apple introduced a new (PRODUCT)RED Leather Folio for the iPhone X, which is nice looking but somewhat of a disappointment compared to the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
Given how nice a bright, colorful red shade looks when paired with a glass body, we're hoping Apple plans to expand to other colors in the iPhone lineup in the future. What do you think of the new (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8 and 8 Plus? Let us know in the comments.

Sure, all non-charity luxury expenses can be looked at that way, but if you were already contemplating getting a new phone, having part of the purchase go to charity is still better than having it all go to Apple's bank account, provided that you actually like the color.
My biggest problem with the 10 is Face ID. When it works, it’s great. But when it doesn’t (I’d say 20% if the time) it’s annoying. I’m also thinking this will be the last iPhone with a front facing button. This would be my first ever mid cycle refresh, but I’m still thinking I’ll do it.
Im I missing something, same phone different color and people are in amazement over it. Must be desperate for something new

Kudos to Macrumors for highlighting the device here as it’s for important causes so well worth the spotlight to draw attention to it.
You’re the first person to talk about the meaning that I have read on any product red stuff.
Blame this one on the MR summary: "Product (Red)" products include a donation to AIDS charities and are something that Apple have been participating in since forever. Without that little snippet it does indeed seem like a ridiculous amount of hooplah for a new colour.
(Of course, an excuse to boost mid-life sales of a product is good news for Apple's bottom line, too - but, hey, enlightened self-interest and all that... they could just have gone for a limited edition 'all profits go to Apple' version).
But why is it labeled like this? Why not just call it the Red iPhone 8? What’s this product red mean? It looks weird.
I doubt 99.99% of the people who will purchase this colour give a damm about the AIDS donation. You can see by the public’s reaction, “so amazing”, “shiny” etc...

It’s their backup plan in case the sales turn bad
i did that, my red 8 plus is coming monday, honestly i miss the bigger feel of the plus, i know screen size is basically the same , but the plus feels bigger, i do love the x but will get the x plus which is more up alley if and when that comes out
No kidding.
OMG a 4th color! To the reviews! It’s... RED. No seriously, it’s RED! OMG IT IS RED! 10/10 review!
Why is that?? It’s rrally hard to justify when over half my reasoning is the color lol
