Apple CEO Tim Cook said, “Since we began working with (RED) 10 years ago, our customers have made a significant impact in fighting the spread of AIDS through the purchase of our products, from the original iPod nano Red special edition all the way to today’s lineup of Beats products and accessories for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.”
