This is a red option, better known as (PRODUCT) RED an initiative that Apple has been part of for ten years and that contributes to eradicate AIDS in the world.
Since we started working with RED ten years ago, our customers have had a significant impact in the fight against the spread of AIDS through the purchase of our products, from the original special edition of iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED to the current line of products.
Beats products and accessories for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
The introduction of this special edition of the iPhone in a beautiful red finish is our biggest offer (PRODUCT) RED to date to celebrate our partnership with (RED) and we can’t wait to put it in the hands of customers.
