In the comments, some suggest that sunlight’s ultraviolet rays may have altered the pigment in the iPhone’s casing. Others jokingly say that this is Apple "reviving" the Product(RED) line, famous for its red shades, while some humorously suggest selling such a device as a "limited edition" on eBay.

So far, there are only a few reports of this issue on Reddit, meaning it does not appear to be widespread. Apple has not commented on the situation.
