It's great to see companies doing more to help charitable causes, but considering the price difference ($749 vs $649 for the base iPhone) I'd like to know exactly how much of that extra $100 goes to the supported charities...
- nirinchev 10y agoThe Red edition doesn't offer 32 GB version which is why the price seems higher. It's actually the same as the 128 GB "standard" model.
- EthanV2 10y agoI probably should have read a little further in, thanks for the correction!
- bambax 10y agoIs it? Wouldn't it be better if they paid their taxes?
- Pungsnigel 10y agoI'd guess most people think charity is better than taxes. Also, Apple has payed standard taxes for some time now.
- danjoc 10y agoAvoids taxes, donates to charities. This is a way to let billionaires and corporations dictate public policy. Don't like military spending? Defund it by donating all your taxes to the arts instead. Public school programs not teaching enough creation theory? Take their money away and give it to churches. Charity spending is seen as an enormous loophole by quite a few people. And that doesn't even get into scams such as donor advised funds. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/making-sense/raw-deal-taxpayer-donor-advised-funds-becoming-americas-largest-charities/ http://www.pbs.org/newshour/making-sense/raw-deal-taxpayer-d...
