After a brief outage, the Apple online store is back online, and is now selling the (Product)Red iPhone 7, $329 iPad, 32 & 128GB iPhone SE, all of which were announced earlier this week.




Announced Tuesday, The new (Product)Red iPhone 7 marks the most recent product from apple Apple's across its decade-long partnership with (Red). The charity supports HIV/AIDS programs that provide counseling, testing, and medicine intended to prevent the transmission of HIV from a mother to her unborn child.

The color, available for the phone for the first time, is now available in capacities of 128 and 256 gigabytes, starting at $749 for the 4.7-inch iPhone 7, and $869 for the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus. While the back of the handset is red, the Apple logo on the back remains silver, and the front bezel is white.




The new 2017 iPad replaces the iPad Air 2 in the product lineup, comes with 32- and 128-gigabyte storage options, and like most iPads a choice between Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + Cellular configurations. Silver, gold, and space gray colors are available. Prices range from $329 for a 32 GB wi-fi only model, up to $559 for a cellular-equipped 128 GB tablet.




Features include a 8MP rear camera, the A9 processor which slightly edges out the A8X in the iPad Air 2, and a form factor identical to that of the original Pad Air, including a larger battery than that in the iPad Air 2.




Also available now, is Tuesday's minor refresh of the iPhone SE. An iPhone SE with 32GB is now available for $399, with a 128GB model selling for $499. As before, it still boasts an A9 processor and comes in color options of silver, gold, space gray, and rose gold.

AppleInsider reviewed the iPhone SE when it first launched in 2016, and found it to be a great value and powerful handset in the 4-inch form factor. The iPhone SE sports the same design as the classic iPhone 5s and iPhone 5 series.

Apple's social media video editor, Clips, was also announced on Tuesday, but it is not expected until April.

B&H has begun accepting pre-orders on Apple's brand-new line of 9.7-inch iPads -- and the Apple authorized reseller is rewarding shoppers by knocking $10 off every configuration from 32GB Wi-Fi Only models to 128GB Wi-Fi + Cellular devices.

    So far, delivery is from Mar 31- April 3, according to Apple, with no options for in-store pickup at this time. We're going to keep an eye on retail, and let everybody know when they appear.

    Mine was scheduled for 4/4-4/5. Also, used Pay for first time on Apple Store—did buy on iMac and used the sensor on my iPhone to authorize.

    Wonder why they put the white front on them.  Love that shade of red.  Just stinks bc if you put it in a case then you don't see it.  Looks just like a reg iPhone.  If the front was that same red I'd buy in a heartbeat

    It's nice if you don't already have a 7 series.

    I like the white front with the red back. It's a nice look. I'm considering a Red 7. With a red or black front, it'd be a non-starter.

    Cases are nice, some of them being art in themselves. I've used them on and off. Some of the phones have been pretty slick feeling so if I didn't use a case, they got shields front and back. This protected the screen and and provided some grip. My job required using a case because I worked in a 'harsh' environment.

    I'll visit a Store to check out the Red. If I get one, and a case is in order, I'll look for something clear or get a shield.

    Hope, further down in a year or with next iphone iteration, Apple releases Red iphone with black front. Though, one can change front LCD screen to black if accidentally cracks.
