Apple has just announced its Special Edition Red iPhones, sales of which will help fund research into the treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS. They just so happen to look pretty amazing as well.
Last year Apple released the Red iPhone 7, but people were disappointed that the phone featured a white front bezel, rather than black.
Well, it seems Apple listened, because this year the (Product)Red iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus feature the more striking red and black colourway.

Not only does it look stunning, but proceeds from sales of the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus (PRODUCT)RED Special Edition phones will go to Global Fund HIV/AIDS.
Which provides testing, counselling, treatment and prevention programmes with a focus on eliminating transmission of the HIV/AIDS virus from mothers to their babies.
The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus (PRODUCT)RED Special Edition will be available in 64GB and 256GB models starting £699 and joins iPhone 8 finishes in space grey, silver and gold.
