Last week, Apple kicked off its annual New Year Sale in Japan with an array of offerings, including a limited-edition AirTag.

Now, Apple’s Lunar New Year sale has started, and it’s headlined by a limited-edition version of AirPods Pro 3 with a special Year of the Horse emoji on the case. Here’s where you can buy them…

The Year of the Horse is a year in the Chinese zodiac associated with Horse traits, such as energy, freedom, and independence, that repeats every 12 years.

This limited-edition version AirPods Pro 3 is available in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and Malaysia. The case features an exclusive horse emoji design meant to signify the Year of the Horse.

Other than the special Year of the Horse case, these are the same AirPods Pro 3 that we’ve all come to know and love. There aren’t any other changes or exclusive features.

The Year of the Horse Special Edition AirPods Pro 3 are available at an Apple Retail Store and Apple Online Store while supplies last. Each customer can only purchase up to 2 units. We may cancel your order if you exceed quantity limits. If you need to replace or repair the Year of the Horse Special Edition AirPods Pro 3, subject to supply, we may provide you with standard edition AirPods Pro 3 for replacement or repair.

Apple is also selling a handful of accessories with limited-edition designs for the Year of the Horse.
