Apple has announced a brand new (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, available later this week. The product features a special red back design and a black bezel. For iPhone X, there is no new hardware per se; Apple is releasing a new (PRODUCT)RED leather folio case though.

Apple says the new (PRODUCT)RED iPhone will be available to order from Tuesday, April 10. The product will be in stores this Friday.

This announcement confirms a report from just yesterday. Check out the news on 3uTools.

Last year, Apple kicked off the PRODUCT(RED) tradition with special edition versions of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in the spring. This special color was made available until the iPhone 8 and iPhone X debuted in the fall.

There was a lot of criticism with the iPhone 7 in PRODUCT(RED) design, primarily because Apple opted to go with a white bezel finish and silver home button. This year, the company has gone for black bezels and red chassis, with a silver Apple logo on the rear, which honestly looks so much better.

In the press release, Greg Joswiak described the color combination as ‘stunning’:

“This special edition (PRODUCT)RED iPhone features a stunning red and black color combination and also offers customers the opportunity to make an impact in fighting the spread of HIV and AIDS,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Product Marketing.
