Apple unveils iPhone 7 and 7 Plus in red colour

Technology major Apple today unveiled a limited-edition version of its iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus smartphones in red colour for the first time ever. The iPhones will have an aluminium finish and will be available in 128 GB and 256 GB options from March 24. Apple has previously released special-edition phone cases and watchbands to support AIDS charity.


Apple announces red iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus

In the midst of launching a new video-editing app for the iPhone and iPad, Apple has also just snuck out a new special-edition red iPhone 7, with barely any fanfare. (Although rumors that something was afoot began earlier today when Apple's online store went down.) The red aluminum iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will be launching globally, adding some welcome color to the black and plainer metallic shades we've had until now.
It's certainly not the first red-hued device from Apple (that honor goes to its red iPod), as the company has supported AIDS charity Product RED for the last 10 years. All told, the company has apparently contributed more than $130 million in corporate donations. Still, a red iPhone is far more substantial charitable contribution than wireless headphones or an iPhone battery case.
The phones will be joined by a new iPad, as well as new silicone phone cases in azure, camellia and pebble. There will also be new leather cases in taupe, sapphire and berry shades, priced at $35. The special-edition iPhones (with either 128GB or 256GB of storage) will be available in stores and online this Friday, March 24th, starting at $749.

But then last month YouTube Go made it onto the Play Store unofficially and users around the world were able to download it from APK Mirror and try it out. Some could register their phone numbers and use it fully with the ability to download videos, others couldn't and were limited to streaming. But still, Go wasn't yet officially announced. Now it is, well at least in beta, and the first official country Go is available in is India. Users can download it if they want to consume content on YouTube in a data-conscious way. That includes the ability to preview videos before watching or downloading them to make sure they're worth your bandwidth as well as the option to choose the resolution when streaming or downloading a video to limit how much data it'll consume.
