Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are now available in Red: Price, Availability and more

Apple has finally announced the much-awaited (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. The company silently released a press release on their website on April 9. Interestingly, the new special edition smartphones will be available in India as well.

Sadly, the company did not launch a (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition Apple iPhone X. However, the good news is that the new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are Black from the front.

Also, this is the first time Apple has launched a (PRODUCT) RED smartphone with a glass back.
