On Monday, Apple introduced new (PRODUCT)RED models of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, which went up for pre-order on Tuesday and are available to purchase in Apple Stores as of today. Since it's an Apple product launch day, customers interested in the new iPhone 8 color can visit Apple.com to check stock at their local Apple stores and arrange for an in-store pickup on the smartphone.
Apple's iPhone availability tool shows that the new (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus devices should be easy to obtain today at most Apple stores across the United States and in other countries, in both 64GB and 256GB. Those who don't feel like picking up at an Apple store, or who don't live nearby one, can also choose to have the iPhone delivered via free next day shipping.

Alongside the new iPhone 8, Apple also launched a (PRODUCT)RED iPhone X Leather Folio at $99. As with every (PRODUCT)RED accessory and device, the iPhone 8 and iPhone X Leather Folio are part of Apple's partnership with (RED), which helps raise money for The Global Fund in its fight against HIV/AIDS.

I truly don’t get the fascination of (PRODUCT)RED’s devices, but I am happy for those who do.
Are you kidding? The Geekbench scores speak for themselves:* The (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8 is over 38% more red than previous iP8s.
* Its chromatic caching is up to 630nm (from a more orange 590).
* The (PRODUCT)RED moniker is 265% more difficult to format correctly than even the leading Android device.
This is, without a doubt, the reddest iPhone 8.
If Tim Cook was an Intelligent Man, AND that's a BIG IF, Apple would have put 3 GB into the RED iPhone 8 AND 4 GB into the RED iPhone 8 Plus ...
I think I speak for everyone on this forum when I say... “DUDE. Relax. Re. Lax.”AND if that had happened, then both would be RUNAWAY SUCCESSES ! ...
AND, very-likely the last good iPhones with Touch ID and the ALL-important Hardware Home Button.
In fact, I see this as an Intelligent Test ... if Tim did it, he gets an A+ ... if Tim didn't do it, he gets an F-- !
ANYWAYY... the phone looks awesome. People have been waiting forever for the black and red combo. I’m happy with my X though :)
Why no X? And why don't they offer it at launch? Cut into launch profits? Able to absorb donations because of increased margins?
I wish it would be a launch product instead of coming up to end of cycle in a good few monthsThe Apple hype machine is running full bore over adding some #ff0000 powder into the anodizing vat.
