Why Red iPhones Say 'Product' On The Back
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- iPhones come in a variety of colors, but only the red models say the word ‘product’ on the back. This is due to a charity partnership Apple has that began back in 2006. The organization is called Product Red, cofounded by the singer Bono and activist Bobby Shriver.
The reason why Apple is working with Product Red has to do with the story about how iTunes was made.
Back in the day the model of $0.99/song was thought of as something crazy to do by the recording companies, who usually wanted to sell the entire album which had 1-2 hit songs. However the first band that decided to work with Apple to help their innovative approach was U2. And U2's frontman is Bono. Who also founded (Product) Red. So it's kind of Apple's gratitude to the band.
They also have iPod U2 edition.
@@KasidisC And this too! One of the coolest Apple designs in my opinion.
Thank you random internet user
@@KasidisC that is hands down, the coolest apple product imo
Ahh so that’s why these forced the U2 album on everyone a few years ago!
I always purchase Product Red when there is an option.
Same. It’s for a good cause and the red always looks cool
I am just wondering if they have the 13 mini in product red? Would appreciate a reply 🙏🏻
@@mister-Kayne yes they do it’s on apple’s site
@@riccardoianni7935 thank you for your reply. I just checked and it is not available in 64 GV but starts at 128gB and the prices are as usual exorbitant for Indian buyers
@@mister-Kayne All phones in the iPhone 13 lineup start from 128gb, they made 128gb the base variant. It's the same price from previous years just with more storage.
The reason it says "product"RED on the back - instead of having the apple logo in place of the word product (as happens with every other partnership of this charity) - is because Steve Jobs wouldn't allow the apple logo to be placed inside the parenthesis. The partnership nearly fell apart completely over this and so the janky "logo" was born
I'd say this is the question on most people's mind which this video fails to answer.
Yep, I came here to post this, but thank you for saving me the trouble.
This is what the video was meant to be about 😂
Tbh it looks better with (product) *RED* than with Apple logo.

**evil chuckle**
According to Jobs’ book he doesn’t like putting Apple inside parentheses that’s why it is called (PRODUCT) ᴿᴱᴰ

Red is my absolute favourite colour and the fact that some of the money from the proceeds go to charitable causes (including the covid virus) is something that adds to the positivity. I just wish they offered the iPhone 13 Pro in product red since I’d buy the upgraded version over the standard 13 then
Not to be pessimistic but I'm pretty sure all known charities put way more in their pocket than they tell you.
i actually just bought the iphone 12 mini in product red
@@Riceordie Product red is a non profit so they cannot legally take it for themselves.
My favorite color too
My mom got the iPhone 7 plus back when it came out I think it was the first iPhone to be colored red. I saw the (Product) Red logo on the back of the phone and I investigated the ordeal by reading the booklet that came with the phone and there where I found out that it's charity work.
I absolutely love your vids, i really learn a lot more than expected from them! Nonetheless, you missed in this video the fact that it would originally be (APPLE) red, but steve jobs hated the idea because he thought it would ‘cheapen’ apple’s image and logo, and also because it could confuse customers. (This is on the Walter Isaacson’s Jobs biography)

I love these Videos so much. They’re always on point and never longer than needed. Keep up the work!
Edit: Thanks for all the likes 👍
Still wish they were longer like before…
^^^^ This!!!
@@Andrescxli not really they were kinda tedious and also these new videos are uploaded often
@@aryanpathak4234 I disagree, i dont care about tedious I and many others want longer more in depth videos, not this youtube short stuff we didn’t subscribe for. My opinion.
Yeah
I've never thought of searching what product red means. I thought it was exclusively Apple's trade mark to stand out among smartphone manufacturers
I thought it was a generic iPhone.
I did get a Product Red iPod touch, in fact, it was my first Apple device. Later on I decided to always pick black/gray colors to keep everything consistent, but I would definitely buy cases in the future so that I can support the cause. I did learn about it a couple of years ago and it’s really nice what Apple is doing to help.
It seems like 45-60% of the charities proceeds goes straight back into advertising. If you want to help, I would donate directly
@@Carterthielftw_ How do you know that?
@@unliving_ball_of_gas check wikipedias properly cited page on Product Red under "criticism" its all in one place
Donate directly a lot of it goes back to ads
@@Carterthielftw_ The thing is, I don’t really have money to directly donate, so if I can help even by a little by buying the accessories, I would do that.
I thought I bought fake iPhone 💀💀💀
Lol I thought my friend had a fake iPhone
You probably didn’t buy an iPhone and you’re just making this comment for likes and clout + you would’ve known if you have seen this video + your pfp is one piece so you’re probably like 10-12 years old and dont meet the requirements of owning a phone
@@frodddd ok look not trying to hate even though your hating this guy but you probably just made that reply for likes also this won’t promote your content it will make people hate you more
Sameeeee😭😭😭
my dad did too 😭
Have the product red iPhone XR and love the way it looks. I want to upgrade to the 13 Pro Max but disappointed apple didn’t make a product red version of it and only for the regular 13.
This has always been a reason why i prefer non pro iPhones like 11. 12 and 13 they have a much better colour lineup
I think the red looks so cool and I want to help the charity. I would love it if they made a product red iPhone pro model since that's the phone line I use
Poz guy here: most of product Red's budget, if not the vast majority of the money they receive, goes to PR and marketing. You would be better off donating to the International Aids society or The Global Fund.
I’d totally get a red one if they had the red option for the pro models!
I would of got the 13 pro if it had red option so I went with the 13
You’ve been releasing tons of new videos recently. Nice job! Keep up the good work!
I didn't know about it, I was thinking about buying a red iPhone just for an aesthetic reason, but now I founded out the reason why the red version is called “product red”, I will definitely be the happiest buying a red one. Thanks for this video! ❤️
I just love he doesn't say anything unneeded and directly says only the useful stuff lol
Did he rly? Cos I think he failed to mention here that Steve Jobs just didnt want to have the Apple logo placed inside the parentheses, so it was put right the bottom saying "PRODUCT" instead
I mean that's the actual useful stuff
Keep up the amazing work I’m so proud of you and where your channel has come to ❤️
In my opinion the red color just looks really good
i had one of those ipod minis, i loved it so much. i would play brick on it all the time. i wanna go back to those days.
I love product red, not only the color is so beautiful, but I feel that I can help community with it ❤️
That’s why I got the silicone red on my 13 pro
Idk why sometimes ppl tend to hate your vids, like this is too obvious, etc ii… but this is actually really useful and informative, just keep it up ur great work!! Your transition from long vids to shorter vids really work! 💙
Maybe because this is a very google-able question? Idk I don’t mind it either
People just dislike videos
the thing about owning a product red iphone (i can’t say for sure about other product red items as i don’t own any others) is that there’s a card that comes in the box for the iphone explaining what product red is and why it’s on the phone itself. it’s kinda funny that some people have to look up what they already have the answer to
Bc I didn’t get that when I bought a red iPhone. They should hand those out with EVERY red iPhone.
I was always wondering this, because my mum has a red iPhone se and I had no idea why it said product on the back. Glad to know it's for a good cause and not just a style choice
Me and my brothers each have a product red iPhone SE. I like the color and the fact that when we got ours we were donating to charity.
I didn't want to know this, I didn't need to know this, but now I know it
Finally, an answer to a question that if been thinking for a while! :)
I’ve been buying product red iPhones since the iPhone XR ❤️
This is truly 'Apple Explained' ❤️
I always get the red phone
You are amazing
Try a new color every now and then. Switch it up.
@@equivalentexchange4256 are you serious. he likes the red because he donates to a charity.
@@michaelepica3564 Just suggesting some variety.
Explaining this like explaining why cars have wheels
I have a red iPhone se and using it to watch this video right now.
Thanks because I wondered why my phone has this…
They discontinued this colour now. I want this colour to come back.
With red being my favourite colour, having a bit of my purchase go to charity is nice. Like an extra bonus.
I own a product red iPhone. I didn’t even thought about the logo and the stuff about it. I thought it was a cool color. Good video btw. 😎
I use a red Beats EP sfor over 2 years now. Im very pleased by the quality and performance.
Thanks for explaining, that was very helpful.
If only i had known this before, I’d have bought every single iPhone I’ve ever owned in product red 😢
Recently got an Apple Watch series 7 and got the red one for the reason that they donate to the charity
Now this make me want to buy Product Red Electronics
Next video: ”why iphones have an apple logo on their back”
I think I'm gonna get the Apple Watch 7 in Product Red! It's my favorite color!
it's for the mean time donating for COVID related concerns.
And the red iPhones look really sharp! Wish I could’ve gotten a Product Red iPhone XR when I got mine but they only had black.
I’m watching this on My Red Iphone 11 and I either forgot about this or never noticed.
I never knew what product red even was until I watched this video today… it’s really cool
Some kids in my history class think my iPhone 13s fake because it says product red
I always get red not just cuz red looks badass on these iPhones but for this reason to
I remember when Clash of Clans sold gem packs for this charity. It gave you some gems and a red badge on your town hall, pretty cool.
Is it just me or I felt like I’ve watch this video being posted on this channel long time ago and just thought they reposted the same video bout product red? 😵💫
Not this time but I do get feelings like this sometimes lol!
Thank you. My mom bought me a IPhone 12 and I saw Product on the back and I was wondering what it was
bought my 13 in red precisely for this reason
Short and to the point. Youre so elite
It easier to buy any phone you want then donate separately, that way you know how much has gone to charity
Sounds like an easy way to get brownie points
It was what I was looking for. Very easy to follow the steps. It works!
Just got my Product Red iPhone 13 last weekend!
I just bought an iPhone 13 mini in red, and looked at the back, and just noticed the “product” logo
I haven’t seen this channel in a year
Thank you for the explanation 😊 i was suppose to change into yellow but I guess im keeping it now 😊
Man I just got it because i liked the color but it’s cool that it goes to a charity
That’s actually so nice
The first 10 seconds explains it,
This seems to not be working well in South Africa.
I never knew this… thanks for this amazing video 👍
I legit have thought that I had a fake iPhone.
I already knew this topic actually
i always thought that the "(product)red" was actually insanely cool for some reason haha, probably better than having the apple logo in it tbh
I wish pro and pro max phones had product red option
ngl as someone who favorite color is pink, the red iphones has looked so amazing they’re so pretty
Product Red iPhone are the prettiest. I'm excited on getting them.
Im sorta surprised people didnt know
I tried to get the red SE 2020 last week, but too bad they only have the black one.
I have a red iPhone and I never noticed this after having it for over 2 years 😂
I always wondered why it says product red on the back of my phone
Why does the Mac not have the clock app
thats why i'm a true iPhone fan
It sucks that it's only available on the base model iPhone
Not me turning backwards my cell phone while holding it to see if it has the letter (Product)
Woah.. Thank you very much for the simple explanation... I'm very happy that I purchased the iPhone 12 mini (product Red) which I did not even know about the iPhone 12 "product Red" colour. Now I know...
I work at the Apple store and they have us wear a magnetic product red pin during aids month
kinda obvious if u ever ordered an iphone online... (ex. got a red iphone 11) it says funds will be donated to charity. the vid still helps for those who never got one or wondering though.
i thought my phone was fake when i found the "product red" on the back of my phone so thank u for giving us this information
I never heard of this untill today.
Meanwhile in my country: “I’ll buy the red one because it’ll bring the feng shui”
😂
Anyone remember limited time product red apps on the app store like clash of clans with the red logo
I remembered when launched with apple
Rocking the product red iPhone 13. Didn’t even know it was a charity thing till now 😅
The next video
Why iPhones have a apple logo on the back
😂😂😂
That’s obvious
@@SoundEffects0 no more than product red
I kept trying to remove the product red and nearly scratched my phone.
"Bono my tyres are gone"
The last part is kinda tru for me. In the past I’ve owned 2 different iPhone 8+’s, and now I own a product red Apple Watch series 7.
There’s also a Product Red AirTag keychain. I have it :)
Short answer: everytime someone buys a red iPhone, it helps people pay for meds and help people.
Got a Samsung ad before the video
now i feel bad for taking the black color
Watching proudly from IPhone 13 (Product Red)
Hmm weird I see a "product" label on my back
I glad I have a red phone
