In celebration of the upcoming Chinese New Year on February 1, Apple has released a special edition AirPods Pro with a custom-designed tiger emoji through its online store and retail stores in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao.
The Chinese calendar has the year of the tiger in it. There is a larger red version of the tiger emoji on the AirPods Pro box. Customers who purchase at Apple retail stores in China will receive a set of 12 red envelopes with each of the Chinese zodiac signs printed on them. It is a Chinese New Year tradition to give your family and friends red envelopes with money inside.

The standard ones are priced the same as the special-edition ones.
In China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, customers can take part in a free in-store or virtual Today at Apple session called "Share Your Love" in which they will create personalized greeting cards for the New Year.
The Year of the Tiger artwork and decals are on display at select retail stores in China.
Apple has a special edition of Beats Studio Buds for the Chinese New Year. The red design with gold tiger print accents on the earbuds and charging case is a tribute to the Year of the Tiger. They are only available in China, with a price of 1,099 yuan.
Thank you, Michael Steeber!
