Calley Nye further hypothesizes on a rumour circulating around that Apple will soon be releasing a red iPhone 3G model just in time for the holidays.

Apple has released several products for this campaign previously, including (PRODUCT) RED iTunes gift cards, a red 8GB iPod Nano, and a red 1GB iPod Shuffle.”
