Last year, Apple announced that it would be directing 100 percent of eligible proceeds from (PRODUCT)RED purchases to the Global Fund's COVID-19 Response (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/12/01/apple-expands-red-partnership-hiv-covid/) to "provide critical support to health systems most threatened by the outbreak" in sub-Saharan Africa until June 30, 2021. Now, the company has extended the period until December 30, 2021. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2020/04/productred-apple-products.png) Apple began its partnership with (RED) in 2006 with the end goal of ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. The partnership includes several different projects, including Apple-supported grants and more than $250 million in donations to the Global Fund's HIV/AIDS programs through Apple's PRODUCT (RED) purchases. Apple offers a number of (PRODUCT)RED products, including devices and accessories such as the (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 12 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-12/), iPhone 12 mini (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-12/), and (PRODUCT)RED Apple Watch Series 6 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/). A number of cases, such as the company's leather and silicone MagSafe (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/magsafe-battery-pack/) cases are also offered in (PRODUCT)RED. Until December 30, all eligible proceeds from these purchases will be directed to the Global Fund's COVID-19 response. Continuing from its announcement last year, through December 7, Apple is also donating $1 for every purchase made with Apple Pay (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-pay/) on apple.com, in the Apple Store app, or at an Apple Store to the Global Fund's COVID-19 Response. More information on Apple's work with (RED) can be found on Apple's website (https://www.apple.com/product-red/) alongside (PRODUCT)RED products. <div class="linkback">Tag: (PRODUCT)RED (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/productred/)</div> This article, "Apple Extends Partnership With (RED) to Combat COVID-19 Until December 30 (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/07/01/apple-red-donations-covid-december-30/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-extends-partnership-with-red-to-combat-covid-19-until-december-30.2302896/) in our forums <div class="feedflare"> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=e3w-tmnk-xs:0GUd-KpOD2M:yIl2AUoC8zA) <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=6W8y8wAjSf4" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=e3w-tmnk-xs:0GUd-KpOD2M:6W8y8wAjSf4) <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=e3w-tmnk-xs:0GUd-KpOD2M:qj6IDK7rITs) </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MacRumors-Front/~4/e3w-tmnk-xs" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> Source: Apple Extends Partnership With (RED) to Combat COVID-19 Until December 30 (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/07/01/apple-red-donations-covid-december-30/) |
