Apple is doing as much as it can to contribute to the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. In its latest show of concern, the company officially announced that all Apple PRODUCT (RED) will be donated to the Global COVIDā19 relief Fund. This announcement is in partnership with (RED). Apple will now redirect 100% of eligible proceeds of its PRODUCT(RED) devices. The donation will be active from now until June 30, 2021.
Normally, all proceeds from Apple PRODUCT(RED) lineup go for fighting HIV/AIDS. However, the company will now temporarily redirect these funds to help fight COVID-19. Of course, this is temporary and the HIV/AIDS program is still very much alive. This information first appeared on its Japanese official website. However, Apple’s U.S. website and some of its other official websites are getting the same update.
