Apple has announced the latest addition to its iPhone family with the release of a bright, cherry red iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The new iPhone is part of Apple’s partnership with (RED), an initiative that mobilizes brands to support the nonprofit Global Fund’s efforts to rid the world of HIV and AIDS.

The Global Fund specifically works in sub-Saharan Africa, where more than 70 per cent of the world’s HIV-positive live, according to the Gates Foundation. The organization provides testing, counseling, treatment and prevention, with a special focus on preventing the transmission of HIV from mothers to their unborn babies. 

The red iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will be available in stores and online starting tomorrow, Friday, March 24. 

 Apple is the largest corporate donor to the Global Fund, generating $130 million for its efforts to date.
