Apple's (Product) RED Charity Contributions Reach $70 Million

Apple's (Product) RED (http://www.red.org/en/) contributions towards the fight against AIDS have reached $70 million, according to a Friday tweet (https://twitter.com/RED/status/452113450588979200) from the (RED) Twitter account. That's up $5 million from $65 million (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/09/26/apple-has-raised-65-million-for-product-red-fight-against-aids/) in July of 2013, with 100 percent of that total going towards HIV/AIDS programs in Africa.

Since then, Apple has released a number of (RED) devices, including iPod nanos and shuffles, iPad Smart Covers, iPhone Bumpers, and iPhone 5s cases. With every (RED) product bought, Apple donates a portion of the purchase price to the charity.

 Last year, lead Apple designer Jony Ive teamed up with designer Marc Newson to create a range of one-of-a-kind products that were auctioned off by Sotheby's (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/11/24/one-of-a-kind-products-designed-by-jony-ive-and-designer-marc-newson-sold-off-at-red-auction/), with proceeds going to (RED). Items included a red Mac Pro (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/10/25/jony-ive-designs-one-of-a-kind-red-mac-pro-for-product-red-charity-auction/) and solid gold EarPods (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/09/09/jony-ive-creates-solid-gold-earpods-for-red-sothebys-charity-auction/), earning nearly $13 million in total.
 
 (Product) RED is affiliated with several other companies in addition to Apple, including Starbucks, Nike, and American Express, raising more than $200 million to date.
