Minor iPhone bump turns the 7 and 7 Plus red, gives iPhone SE more storage

In addition to a new midrange iPad, Apple also announced a handful of minor updates for the iPhone via press release this morning.

Apple is also releasing a new Product Red version of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus—like the name implies, it has a bright red matte finish with blended antenna lines and a silver Apple logo on the back. It contrasts strikingly with the other iPhone colors Apple has offered in the past, but otherwise it doesn't differ from current iPhone 7 models. It will be available in 128GB and 256GB capacities, it starts at $749, and it will be available beginning on March 24.

As with other Product Red products, for each of these red iPhones that sells, Apple will make a small donation to the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS. The company doesn't disclose the exact size of these donations, but it says it has donated $130 million via Product Red sales since 2006.

The iPhone SE is also getting a minor update. The old 16GB and 64GB capacities are being replaced by 32GB and 128GB versions for $399 and $499. The latter phone represents a slight price increase from before—in September, Apple lowered the price of the old 64GB SE from $499 to $449. The new iPhone SE models are otherwise unchanged from the originals and also begin shipping March 24.
