Accordingly, the limited edition will be available for purchase in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore.

Apple's limited edition is identical to the standard AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation and the same price, but comes with a unique engraving on the USB-C case of the product.

AirPods 4 will be released in early 2023 with a new acoustic architecture that delivers rich bass and clear highs, along with personalized spatial audio. It uses machine learning to support nodding and shaking your head when asked by Siri, along with voice isolation to eliminate background noise.

In addition, Apple has upgraded the appearance of the AirPods 4 charging case. It is equipped with a speaker to serve the Find My feature, helps play sound when lost and uses a USB-C port instead of Lightning.

AirPods 4 will have a smaller, more portable USB-C charging case that offers up to 30 hours of battery life. Wireless charging options will be built into the new charging case, using Qi and MagSafe.

Customers can pre-order the special edition AirPods 4 now, with shipping expected to begin on January 8. Apple is also limiting each customer to two AirPods 4 At Ty editions.

Creating limited edition AirPods is a tradition for Apple. Previously, we've seen limited edition AirPods models to celebrate the Year of the Dragon, Ox, Tiger, and Rabbit.
