The mobile giant Apple announced that it would be releasing several new products in the first quarter of 2017. Consumers can start ordering for the new Apple products, which consist of the more affordable Apple IPad that will retail at $329; this will put a smile on your face as you walk out of the stores.

Apple also happens to manufacture the most popular smartphone in today’s pop culture.  This year, while marking the 10-year anniversary of the iPhone’s launch, Apple is working with the Aids campaign red organization. This year, the company has a unique, ruby-red hue phone. If you have been thinking about treating yourself to something new and are intrigued by Apple’s announcements, here are some things to consider before buying or missing out on the Red hue iPhone or the new affordable iPad.

The new iPhone’s strongest selling point for the new 9.7-inch iPad is its pricing. The tablet starts at $329, which is $70 less than its predecessor. It has a retina display and comes in three colors: gold, silver and space gray. The new iPad is appreciated by many for its size, since it gives a better reading experience than previous iPad versions.

While Apple donates money to charitable causes from the sale of their non-Red hardware. There is something special about owning a red iPhone. If you pull out a Red iPhone, you will be announcing to the entire world that you are a supporter of AIDS research, which is a cool thing to do.

The new iPad seems to be the replacement of the old iPad Air 2 at a lower price tag. There are a few trade-offs that you will have to bear with.  For instance, it doesn’t have Apple’s latest processor but comes with the same one from the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, meaning that it is a little slower than the latest iPhone. This will probably be fine for most people. However, if you’re looking for a full laptop replacement it is probably not going to be your best option.

One would think that the bigger issue for people considering the red iPhone is that September is not that far off and that is usually when a new version of the iPhone is released. Speculation is rife that there may be a new iPhone in the market sooner than expected. The Cupertino based company may have a few tricks up its sleeves, and we’ll only see their’ magic tricks’ when they want us to.
