I had a read of your link.
Sounds like it is only applicable for those listed with product (red) on the apple website listing and this is not something non-apple retailers/resellers have.
Very good info, ty for pointing it out.
I'm not sure how to find out if a portion of profits go to global fund if bought from a reseller. I'd assume that the sale from Apple to the reseller or the wholesaler the reseller bought from counts as the sale that some of the profits are drawn from for donation. Apple's proportion of profit from phones sold to resellers would be less than the profits buying straight from Apple, but it's still a sale and there are still profits.
I can see that Apple sometimes donuts 50% of profits when running special promotions. And Gap routinely donates 50% of profits. When Apple isn't doing their specific 50% promotion I guess the amount donated is somewhere between 0.00001% and 50%.
It looks like Apple has donated 270 million USD so far https://www.red.org/products/apple If Apple donated 50% of profits during their promotions then their regular donation amount would be less than 50% but I can't see how many product red Apple products have been sold in total since 2006. So I guess the regular donation percentage is a mystery.
donuts 50% is quite a good deal
Second to this, the Red looks really, really good!
who use 100% of the donation to help communities in Africa with HIV and Covid-19
how much? what proportion?
if you are buying these because you want to help those in need. maybe do a direct donation which also contributes to tax deduction, win win isn't it?
$800 for a 2 yr old iPhone isn’t exactly cheap
It's the latest iPhone SE?
And not sure where you're getting 2 years from, it's still 2023
Screen, cameras are quite dated, battery size is small. Also, is it really such a good idea to go for 256GB for this phone (pay the apple tax on storage upgrade)? Lower storage ones are regularly discounted.
I am sure there are some legit usage scenarios for SE 2022 256GB.
screen is biggest issue for me.
pay $836.10 for 4.7" screen.
screen feels tiny when used in real life
that is not good value for money..
rather get a an older bigger screen iphone or android phone for that much money.
and you get better camera + bigger battery
Oh, don't disagree with that - and personally, I wouldn't buy one and I don't have an iPhone, just noting that it isn't 2 years old by any means
released March 18, 2022
so technically approx 1yr 3 months
the biggest issue of iphone SE is that screen is small (4.7")
better to spend $836.10 on bigger screen phone (older iphone or android)
it is not good value for money for how much you pay and what you get.
Agreed, it's bit of a rort for essentially an iPhone 6s
@starspawn: iPhone 8 with updated cam, processor and 5G. You either don't know that or are trying to sensationalize by stating a model that is 2 years older.
@Elyxar: iPhone 8 with updated cam is sugarcoating it a bit. Camera hardware is iPhone 8, but the CPU provides a new ISP.
Screen technology hasn't changed much since iPhone 6S.
Yes, it is based on iPhone 8 with some improvements, but you know what he meant anyway.
Agreed, just buy a 5g iPad if you want a big screen.
@netsurfer: Great point. Although at that point it might be better to just get a portable generator and a techfast 4080 deal with a 48" widescreen.
True to a degree. This is the only new iPhone with this form factor below $1K. If iOS is not necessary, there is a mountain of androids to choose from as a more cost effective option.
Refurb market ~$700 for 256GB SE3 is another option.
The only bad thing about this phone for potential buyers looking at this format is lack of U1 chip.
I can't believe this is going for $836 and one of my local phone repair shops will only take my cracked iPhone XS for $75. What a stitch up. I know it's a 2022 phone vs 2018 one but the difference in price is crazy!
If anyone doesn't know Apple donates from Product Red products to the Global Fund who use 100% of the donation to help communities in Africa with HIV and Covid-19 https://www.apple.com/au/product-red/
So the more red iPhones you buy from resellers, the more red iPhones Apple will need to make to give to resellers. So all other things being equal the red one is the one to choose imo. According to UNAids there are more women than men with HIV in the world and I'm sure they appreciate whatever it is the Global Fund is actually paying for in Africa.
