Apple introduces red iPhone, cheaper iPad

Apple on Tuesday launched a new version of its 9.7-inch iPad, and a special edition of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

According to CNBC news, the new red aluminum iPhone is part of Apple’s decade-long (RED) campaign, which contributes to the Global Fund to fight AIDS. The new phone starts at $749 and will be available at stores from Friday.

Apple said it’s the world’s largest corporate donor to the Global Fund, contributing more than $130 million.

The updated iPad worth $329 comes with a brighter display, Touch ID, worldwide LTE support, the A9 chip and iOS 10. A year ago, Apple released the 9.7-inch iPad Pro worth from $599, which featured Apple Pencil compatibility and an improved display.

The company on Tuesday also announced a free new app, Clips, that helps users combine video clips, photos and music to be shared through messages and social media. Clips, which will be available in April on iOS 10.3, has “artistic filters” shapes and emojis.

The app automatically recognizes people in the video and suggests them as recipients of the messages, Apple said. The app pulls in elements that are popular in Instagram, Snapchat, Vine, Google Photos and Musical.ly.
