iPhone Savior is reporting – via an unconfirmed source – that a possible (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition iPhone 3G may be slated for a holiday release.
“it’s time to look forward to the emergence of iPhone Red, Apple’s holiday release to boost iPhone sales. Rumors have begun to bubble under that Apple is quietly planning to go red,” iPhone Savior reports. “With the iPhone’s transition to plastic casing, it’s fairly simple for Apple to add color at will while keeping true to form with a (PRODUCT) RED offering.”
MacDailyNews Note: (PRODUCT) RED benefits the Global Fund, to fight AIDS in Africa.
Full article, with image of a red iphone, here.
MacDailyNews Take: Sounds like an excuse to do a Photoshop mockup of the iPhone 3G in red (looks pretty good), but with Apple already on board with (PRODUCT) RED, it is possible, so for what it’s worth…
Kind of sporty looking. And a good cause.
That’s a fairly horrid shade of red in the ad though, makes it look a bit of a joke.
This is hardly news since as MDN states Apple is already on board with product RED stuff and it’s fairly a no-brainer that they would bring it out before Christmas.
Product RED products are usually a specific (tasteful) shade of red however, closer to the red that was rumoured before the 3G launch when no one believed they were going with the plastic back. More like a lipstick red than the watery, sick, candy red in the link.
im surprised they wont make a green one.. since the focus of the year is “going green” even if going plastic is actually not going green. I’d like it if they make a darker red like the crappy red curve I have from at&t;
If this isn’t their plan, it should be.
That is not (PRODUCT) RED, that is F.A.A. Red.
Somewhere, a Photoshop color-wheel needs to be adjusted….
They would do well with a full line of different colored iPhones
Don’t like it.

I dunno, the main reason I didn’t get the white one was because it still had the black in the front and the silver as well … seemed like a bit too much going on. Same thing with the red IMHO, or any other color. If the front were the same color as the back that would be alright, but I can see why they wouldn’t do that because it would alter one’s perception of the screen. Seems like they’re skirting around design problems just barely. I’m happy with my black.
It’s the Chinese model. Oom boppa Mao Mao.
Looks like FD&C;red No. 3 to me.
That’s one Apple I won’t be taking a bite of!
I’d like mine Bondi Blue, please.
WHAT? No brown?
Wow Ampar, an Oak Ridge Boys reference.
The heck with red. I want Flower Power!
” . . . an Oak Ridge Boys reference.”
Or in this case, the Oak Lidge Boys.

Snorg Girl Red?
I’d rather buy a pink one for breast cancer awareness. And I’m a guy.
Save the boobies!
I love it! Little dark red though
you can have brown, just marry the red an green and you’ll get a nice shade of brown offspring.
iPhone (PRODUCT) RED I’ll take 2!
RE: “I’d rather buy a pink one for breast cancer awareness. “
Breast cancer is already over publicized. AIDS has been killing millions for nearly a quarter century. Thanks to Ronald Reagan for pretending it did not exist for nearly 8 years!… and not even speaking with his Surgeon General first when he finally did mention it publicly… Ass Hat!… oh and lets not forget Bush Sr. for continuing Reagan’s policy of doing nothing!

MW = “why” as in WHY did Ronald Reagan sit back and do NOTHING when he had an opertunity to REALLY make a difference in the world? FYI: In an attempt to deflame the ensuing flames re: RR… FACT: RR did nothing to end the Cold War other that be in office at the time.
Egg shaped iPhone coming next Easter?
“Save the boobies!”
Sure, but they look mighty tasty. Served over rice with soy sauce and ginger.
I’ll tell you what he should have done, Red.
He should have quarantined the ones that had it.
But since they were gay, he would have been accused of using Hitler’s Gestapo Fascist tactics.
So there, so much for being a loud mouth.
Look what good it did y’all.
“FACT: RR did nothing to end the Cold War other that be in office at the time.”
Boy, you are an idiot.
Since the iPhone backs are all plastic now, it would seem trivial to make them in any colour you like so I am sure they will be eventually.
Even that is a bit lame though when you consider the sheer volume of iPhones likely to be in use in the next ten years or so. In keeping with the rumour of “coloured” iPods before Christmas, I wonder if Apple has finally solved the problem of product dress and personalisation by making it possible to custom order?
I am envisioning a service where when you order an iPhone on Apple’s site (currently impossible I know), you get a template that you can scribble all over and send off with the order. The ultimate personalisation!

This would be hell to organise given the iPhone distribution model, but perhaps we will see it with the iPods first, and then expand the service to iPhones when they (finally!) are able to be purchased online by the average Joe or Jane without having to go to AT&T;etc.
geez, RED, how long’ve you been nursing that wound?
