Apple announced a new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8
Plus color option called Product RED. Apple has been making Product RED devices
ever since the iPod Nano and even offered Product RED gift cards. The Product
RED brand teams up with private companies to raise awareness and funds to help
the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa.
T-Mobile announces that it will carry the new
Sepcial Edition with pre-orders kicking off this Wednesday with stocks arriving
on Friday. In addition, Magenta is launching a BOGO offer where you can get one
iPhone 8 or 8 Plus in any color, including the new Product RED edition, and get US$ 700 toward a second iPhone 8 or 8 Plus when you turn in an eligible phone and
port in a line.
The promotion is a little more restrictive than
T-Mobile traditionally does with Samsung's BOGO promos, since it requires an
actual switch to T-Mobile in order to take advantage of the deal. Still, it’s a
great time for any iPhone user to switch to T-Mobile, as long as it isn't the
iPhone X, since it isn't part of this promo.
Next up, Verizon will begin offering pre-orders
starting tomorrow April 10 at 8:30AM ET and will hit stores on Friday, April
13. The carrier will take up to 50% (max US$ 465) off the of the Product RED edition
of the iPhone 8 or 8 Plus with an eligible trade-in.
Whether you upgrade or switch, you can take
advantage of the offer with any iPhone 8 and the iPhone X. Keep in mind, the
iPhone X will require an iPhone 8 Plus, Galaxy S8+, or Note8 trade-in to get the
full 50% off. For 50% off the iPhone 8 Plus, trade in any of the above or
iPhone 7, 7 Plus, Galaxy S8, Pixel 2, 2 XL, LG V30, or Moto Z2 Force. For 50%
off an iPhone 8, trade in any of the above or an iPhone 6S Plus, Galaxy S7
edge, Pixel, XL, LG G6, and Moto Z Force.
