Apple unveiled the PRODUCT(RED) iPhone 8 and 8 Plus today with preorders starting tomorrow. This year’s iteration on the release brings a sharp black and red design. Want to pick up this aesthetic without buying a new iPhone? Follow along for several great ways to make it happen for under $20.
If you’re an iPhone 8/8 Plus user — or even if you’re not — the thought has probably crossed your mind about trading in your iPhone for the new red variant. However, if you’re not ready for an upgrade, or prefer the iPhone X, picking up the shiny new red iPhone isn’t worth it, or possible.
Luckily, there are some easy and affordable ways to give your current iPhone the red treatment.
