Apple Once Again Recognizes World AIDS Day In-Store and OnlineApple, not known for its partnerships with third-parties, is once again recognizing December 1st as
World AIDS Day at Apple Retail Stores and on its website. Apple has also done something similar for the
past two
years.
Some stores, including several locations in the United Kingdom and the United States, are expected to color their Apple logos red for the occasion. A
MacRumors reader sent in two images from the
Regent Street store in London noting that the coloring process has already taken place in preparation for the store's opening today, as it is already December 1st in the UK.
Every day, 900 babies are born with HIV. (RED) works with companies like Apple to fight for an AIDS‑free generation by creating (PRODUCT)RED merchandise. A percentage of gross profits from the sale of those products goes to the Global Fund to help fund AIDS programmes in Africa. Since its introduction, (PRODUCT)RED has generated more than $215 million for the Global Fund — more than $65 million from Apple alone. You can help make an impact by purchasing a (PRODUCT)RED iPod or (PRODUCT)RED accessories for iPhone and iPad.
Apple sells a number of
PRODUCT (RED) items where a percentage of the profits are donated to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa. There are (RED) versions of the iPod shuffle, iPod nano, iPod touch, the iPad Air and iPad mini Smart Covers, the iPad Air Smart Case, the iPhone 4S Bumper, and the iPhone 5s case.
The move follows a
special charity auction by Sotheby's to benefit Product (RED) last week, which involving the auctioning off of one-of-a-kind products designed by Jony Ive and Designer Marc Newson. Items included a
red Mac Pro, a pair of
solid gold Apple EarPods, a special edition
Leica camera and a one-of-a-kind
aluminum desk. In total, all of products auctioned off at the special event raised nearly $13 million.
Apple has also
raised more than $65 million for Product (RED) since 2006.
