To recall, Apple started (PRODUCT)RED line-up of devices to support HIV/AIDS programmes that provide counselling, testing and medicine that prevents the transmission of HIV from a mother to her unborn child.

The first Apple iPhone to come in (PRODUCT) RED Edition was the Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The smartphone was launched with a Red back and a White front. However, many people preferred it to have a Black front panel as Black and Red makes a good colour combination. So Apple decided to listen to its customers and this time around launched the (PRODUCT) RED iPhone with a Black front.
