Last week, Apple announced a special edition version of the AirTag in Japan to celebrate the “Year of the Snake.” Apple has since followed that up with a limited-edition version of AirPods 4, available exclusively in select regions.
For New Year 2024, Apple launched a special version of AirPods Pro to celebrate the “Year of the Dragon.”
For 2025, AirPods 4 are the ones getting that special edition treatment. The “Year of the Snake” version of AirPods 4 feature a snake-style engraving on the charging case. The box also features a special emblem on the side as well.
