After all the rumours doing the rounds, Apple has introduced the new RED variant of iPhone 8 series. Apple is working with Product (RED), which is an organization that campaigns to fight HIV and AIDS in Africa. Apple released the versions of iPhone 7 last year around the same time working with Product (RED). An undisclosed amount of total sales of the new iPhones will be going to charity. This year-round, all iPhones will feature black front panel, unlike last year’s white front panels.
Apple’s new iPhones will be joining the family of existing lineup. The existing lineup includes Space Gray, Silver and Gold models.
