According to a new internal Virgin Mobile memo, Apple will be releasing an updated (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8 and 8 Plus as early as Monday, with pre-orders starting imminently. The internal memo that was intended for employees and was provided to AppleInsider, says that Apple will be announcing the latest (PRODUCT)RED phones on Monday. When Apple launched the (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 7 and 7 Plus on a Tuesday, the phones were available online and at retail starting that Friday.

The memo only calls out (PRODUCT)RED versions of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, which may mean that the iPhone X will not be receiving the color treatment. The iPhone X would require a bit more effort on Apple's part to create a (PRODUCT)RED variation. Unlike the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, the iPhone X has a stainless steel band around the edges instead of aluminum.

It utilizes a different process to color the steel rather than the aluminum which is anodized. 30 million for the Global Fund, which aims to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. 160 million through efforts like their (PRODUCT)RED devices and App Store promotions. If Apple does update the store Monday with the new iPhone, there is a chance we could also see other changes as well. Most notably, the delayed AirPower charging mat and Qi charging case for AirPods.

It left water spots on a NOS suit. I had to dampen the whole suit and then iron with a damp white wash cloth in between the suit and the iron. It never really looked quite right though. But the fact is that the gold iPhone was easily the most sought-after model at launch. Never use an iron on velvet. It completely changes the appearance to flat and shiny.

I do use the steamer on velvet, but only from the inside of the velvet, never allowing the steamer to touch the outside layer of the velvet. You have to move the steamer really fast across the inside to avoid damage. Velvet older then the 1950s should not be steamed. The garments of the 50s can be hand washed or dry cleaned, except for silk, which can still be problematic.

Probably a jersey silk is ok to dry clean, but structured silk can be shredded by the dry cleaners, unless you are lucky enough to have cleaner who specializes in vintage clothing. Cotton, linen, and nylon can be hand washed. Rayon crepe still needs to be dry cleaned and rayon jersey possibly can be hand washed but be careful of color bleeds.

Always use salt when hand washing a colorful print in any type of material. Some rayon can be steamed or ironed on a low synthetic setting, but others need to avoid the steamer. In particular, my steamer drips and on the later 80s rayon, the water drops from the steamer actually leave water marks.

The only way to remove them is to dampen the whole garment and dry iron or iron with a damp white clean wash cloth in between the garment and the iron. Some of the rayon nightgowns from the 30s and 40s should also be ironed with a white damp cloth in between the iron and the garment. My assistant was steaming a 40s nightgown and where she had steamed one area too long, the material became damaged and weak leaving lines in the fabric. It was permanently damaged. Rayon crepe can be ironed with a dry iron.

Since water makes it shrink, the steamer and ironing with a wash cloth are both bad ideas. Clorox beach pen can be applied on a white spot, as long as it is not a synthetic material. On most synthetics, bleach will turn white yellow and is very hard to remove, particularly on polyester and nylon.
