Recognizing more than 10 years of partnership with the Product (RED) charity that fights against HIV/AIDS, Apple has announced iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in a vibrant red aluminium finish. Apple is the world’s largest corporate donor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, contributing more than $130 million as part of its partnership with (RED). The new variants will be available to order online and via retail stores across more than 40 countries and regions starting Friday, March 24.
The new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus red variants will be available in India from April, with Apple announcing Rs. 82,000 price tag for the 128GB Red iPhone 7 Plus. While Apple has not officially announced the price in India of other red iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus variants, based on the pricing of the 128GB red iPhone 7 Plus, it's expected to be the same as other colours.
