Apple (Product)RED iPhone 7 is as red in colour as it sounds

Apple has released a (Product)RED version of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to celebrate its continues commitment to the charity.

Apple has always had a fondness for the charity, and this time has gone as far as creating two bright red versions of its two flagship smartphones.

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus (PRODUCT)RED Special Edition will be available to order online worldwide and in stores beginning Friday 24 March (Red Nose day is probably just a coincidence), and feature a red anodised shell.  

“Since we began working with (RED) 10 years ago, our customers have made a significant impact in fighting the spread of AIDS through the purchase of our products, from the original iPod nano (PRODUCT)RED Special Edition all the way to today’s lineup of Beats products and accessories for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.

Aside from the colour, the two Apple smartphones will be identical to the current iPhone 7 line-up in terms of specs.

The company, unlike it normally does with partnerships with its Apple Watch, hasn’t included specific exclusive wallpapers, or any other (Product)RED features. The new models will be available in 128GB and 256GB models starting at £699 in the UK and $749 in the US.  

Apple says that both special edition models are available worldwide beginning Friday, March 24, and start shipping to customers by the end of March in the US and more than 40 countries and regions, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, the UK and United Arab Emirates.

Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, Turkey and other countries will follow in April.
