Apple reveals special Year of the Tiger gear, but you probably can’t get it

According to Apple, these items are designed as award for the Chinese New Year.

Only 20,000 units are produced and they are offered based on the first Devices, first serviced.
In China, meanwhile, Apple will start selling the special edition version of the Beats Studio Sound Wireless Wireless Sound Earbud in January first. This model displays earpieces and charging cases in bright red red, as well as tiger lines consisting of what appears to be a very fine golden luster.
The new style option joins a standard red variant, and a black and silver version. The company clarifies in tweets on Beats by Dre Twitter that this is a special edition design made specifically as a year of tiger tributes; They are valued equivalent to around $ 179 USD.
