Red iPhone 7 Plus Release Date: Where To Get Product Red Edition
By now you’ve probably seen news that Apple and (RED), Bono and Bobby Shriver’s AIDS charity, will be releasing a special edition iPhone, but now you’re probably wondering “where can I get one?”
They’ll be available on March 24 at 11:01 AM EDT, but no sooner, according to Apple’s site. While the phones will be sold online and in stores beginning Friday, those ordered online will ship by the end of March.
The iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus will be the only special edition (PRODUCT)RED phones Apple offers with either 128 GB or 256 GB of memory. The iPhone 7, with 128 GB of memory will cost you $750 outright, if you want more memory it’ll be $849. For the 7 Plus, the 128 GB is priced at $869 and the 256 GB is $969. The phones are also available to lease through service providers.
The phone is a celebration of the more than 10 year partnership between (RED) and Apple. Previous PRODUCT (RED) items made by Apple have included iPods, Apple Watch bands, phone cases and more. With each purchase of one of those products, a portion of the proceeds go to HIV/AIDS prevention and research. “ One hundred percent of all money raised by (RED) goes directly to Global Fund HIV/AIDS grants that provide testing, counseling, treatment and prevention programs with a specific focus on eliminating transmission of the virus from moms to their babies,” according to a release from Apple. Since (RED) was founded in 2006, Apple has helped raise more than $130 million for the cause.
