Apple Could Launch a Red Apple Watch Series 5

Apple could launch a (PRODUCT)RED version of the Apple Watch Series 5 as soon as the next year, according to a new report.

Before anything, it’s important to keep in mind that this is just a rumor, and despite it actually makes sense, it’s better to take everything with a pinch of salt until more reliable sources confirm it.

The report coming from French blog WatchGeneration indicates that the red Apple Watch Series 5 would be part of the (PRODUCT)RED lineup which already comprises a series of other Apple products.

Apple donates a part of the revenue it makes with (PRODUCT)RED devices to (RED) partners that use the money to fund HIV/AIDS programs. According to Apple, “for 13 years, supporters of our partnership with (RED) have raised more than $220 million in funding for HIV/AIDS programs.”

Possible launch in the spring

Details about the new red Apple Watch Series 5 are still vague at this point, but the cited source claims it came across evidence the device is on its way in an Apple product database. By the look of things, the red finish will be similar to the one on the iPod touch and will be offered on the aluminum model.

Apple typically unveils new device colors and accessories in the spring, so there’s a chance this new Apple Watch, if it indeed is on its way, could get the go-ahead in March or April. Previously, the company took the wraps off the (PRODUCT)RED version of the iPhone 7 in March 2017, while the iPhone 8 sibling was unveiled in April 2018.

Apple is also projected to announce the second-generation iPhone SE in the spring, so the red Apple Watch Series 5 could be introduced during the same event.

Spec-wise, the (PRODUCT)RED Apple Watch Series 5 won’t be any different from the current models.
