Apple has launched the iPhone 7 and iPhone7 Plus in a color variant of red. An estimated number of 73,410 iPhone 7 and 7 Plus units are expected to be available in China. The (RED) iPhones will be available for purchase from March 24 in China. JD.com, an online retailer from China has received more than 3,55,000 registrations for the red colored iPhones.
Even though over 3,55,000 people have registered on JD.com for the (RED) iPhones, it is unlikely that all of them will purchase the red iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Since these are not pre-orders, registering for it does not charge any money and no units are reserved.
These special edition iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have the same specs as the original iPhone 7 models that were introduced in September last year. However, a diehard iPhone fan may not want to miss the opportunity of purchasing a special edition of iPhone 7 in red.
