New Products, In-Game Extras, More for (RED) Anti-AIDS Fight

To mark World AIDS Day, Apple will significantly expand its (RED) initiative with new products, in-game extras, iTunes goodies and more, funds from which will go towards the anti-AIDS fight.

Apple already offers various PRODUCT(RED) products and accessories. Money from these help to prevent the spread of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. Today, Apple is releasing four further (RED) accessories: an iPhone 7 Smart Battery Case, iPhone SE Case, Beats Solo 3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones and the Pill+ Portable Speaker.

Furthermore, during the period from December 1 until December 6, use Apple Pay to make a purchase at an Apple store, the Apple website or via the Apple Store app, and Apple will donate $1 to the (RED) charity, up to $1 million. Make any Apple Pay transaction with a Bank of America card, and that financial institution will also make a donation โ€“ also up to $1 million.

Globally, customers will be able to directly donate to (RED) through iTunes, while US customers will get the chance to freely download documentary The Lazarus Effect, which focuses on (RED)โ€™s mission. The Killersโ€™ holiday album Donโ€™t Waste Your Wishes has been exclusively released on iTunes, with all US proceeds going to the Global Fund.

Over the next week, a range of popular iOS games, including Angry Birds 2, Angry Birds POP!, Boom Beach, Candy Crush Jelly Saga, FarmVille: Tropic Escape, MARVEL Contest of Champions, SimCity BuildIt and more, are offering limited-edition, special (RED) content, with all money made from the associated in-app purchases also adding to the Global Fund.
