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.
