Apple announced new versions of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in red, keeping its entry-level iPhones fresh after being overshadowed for months by the iPhone X.
The new colour scheme is part of the “PRODUCT(RED)” initiative, a program that gives a percentage of sales to the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS. Apple didn’t announce a red version of the iPhone X, which remains available in either grey or white.
It’s the second year in a row that Apple has rolled out a red version of its latest iPhone.
Last March, Apple launched a red iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and discontinued those models about six months later when the initial iPhone 8 line launched. The red iPhone 8 models cost the same as the gold, grey, and silver versions, at AED2,991.50 ($699) for the smaller model and AED2,934 ($799) for the Plus.
The new color goes on pre-order Tuesday (April 10) and is available in stores from April 13, Apple said. Deliveries to UAE and Saudi Arabia will follow later this month, the company said. More
