In addition to China and Hong Kong, it is also the Year of the Tiger in Japan. While there seem to be no special AirPods or special Beats Buds on offer there, residents of the island nation do have a shot at a commemorative AirTag.
iDownloadBlog says the Cupertino-company is running a special New Year’s sale in Japan. Many of the specials include gift cards for future purchases. “But,” the piece says, “the real kicker is the aforementioned limited-edition AirTag.” It features a cute, Year of the Tiger engraved emoji that’s different than the one on the AirPods in China.
How do consumers get them? By buying something else. According iDownloadBlog:
Apple Japan says that the first 20,000 customers in Japan who purchase a new iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, or the latest iPhone SE will get the special AirTag.
The two-day, New Year promotion runs through 3 January 2022.
