Since partnering with (RED) in 2006, Apple has donated more than $160 million to the Global Fund, serving as the organisation's largest corporate donor.

"This special edition (PRODUCT) RED iPhone features a stunning red and black colour combination and also offers customers the opportunity to make an impact in fighting the spread of HIV and AIDS," Greg Joswiak, Apple's Vice President of Product Marketing, earlier said in a statement.

iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus features Retina HD display and are powered by the A11 Bionic chip. iPhone 8 Plus features dual 12-MP cameras and introduces Portrait mode. Both iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus come with iOS 11.
