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.

Apple is rumored to hold a launch event in March. Fresh information suggest that the Cupertino-based company would be introducing new iPad Pro models.  The event will not only showcase new tablets from the company, as rumors also hint that a 128 GB iPhone SE as well as red color version of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be also introduced.

According to Macotakara, a Japanese tech blog that is known for spilling leaked information of upcoming Apple devices, the Cupertino-based firm would be launching iPad Pros in four sizes such as 7.9-inch, 9.7-inch, 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch.

This information suggests that Apple will be replacing the iPad Mini 4 that was released in September 2015 by a 7.9-inch iPad Pro. Apart from launching successor models for 12.9-inch iPad Pro from September 2015 and 9.7-inch iPad Pro from March 2016, Apple is heavily pegged to launch iPad Pro in a new size of 10.5-inch.

Rumors that have surfaced from Barclays and KGI Securities have consistently hinted about a 10.5-inch iPad Pro. This variant is even speculated to come with an edge-to-edge screen with a Home button. However, the rumor mill has not revealed much information on the new 7.9-inch iPad Pro.

Macotakara has stated that the 7.9-inch iPad Pro will be arriving with features such as a True Tone display, Apple A9X chipset, 12-megapixel iSight camera with True Tone flash, four speakers and Smart Connector. The 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros are expected to be run on Apple A10X chipset.

Apart from introducing the new iPad Pros, the company is also rumored to unveil a 128 GB edition of iPhone SE. The 4-inch iPhone that was launched in March last year came in two storage models of 16 GB and 64 GB.

Apple has partnered with (RED) since the past ten years to fight AIDS by spreading its awareness. This has resulted in the launching of several products in red color such as red colored leather and silicon cases for iPhones, red colored Apple Watch Sport band, red colored Smart Cover for iPads, Beats Solo3 wireless headphones and portable speaker in red, and more. Rumors are rife that red colored versions of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be also unveiled in the next month.
