Apple Goes (RED) Once Again for Worlds AIDS Day with Tons of In-Game Promotions

TouchArcade Rating:

screen-shot-2016-11-30-at-10-29-20-amApple and Product Red have been doing annual promotions now for ten years, which honestly, really makes me feel old as it doesn’t seem like that long ago. If you’ve never heard of this whole (RED) thing before, the Wikipedia page does a good job of detailing what it’s all about. Basically, all these massive global brands all get together to put out (RED) products (which are typically red, believe it or not) to raise awareness and money to fight AIDS in Africa. Considering how global this effort is, it’d actually be pretty impressive if you’ve never heard of it, but, hey, whatever.

Anyway, Apple has a whole bunch of red stuff you can buy, and they’ve got a bunch of other ways to contribute such as using Apple Pay at an Apple Store, or buying stuff in a whole ton of games that have added (RED) promotions. Apple provided us with a full list, which, quite honestly is pretty exhaustive:

In Angry Birds 2, you can purchase the (GEM PILE)RED from the in-game shop. In addition to the (GEM PILE)RED, there is a special spell, and a set of custom superhero masks that you can use in the game through December 6. (Rovio)

In Angry Birds POP!, you can purchase a special bundle, (BUNDLE)RED from the in-game shop. In addition to the (BUNDLE)RED, there is also a special character, and a (RED) themed community challenge you can take part in. (Rovio)
