New AirPods Pro with ‘Year of the Dragon’ engraving are here. But there’s a catch.

Apple is selling some reallycool-looking AirPods Pro right now, but you may not be able to buy them.

According to MacRumors, there's a swanky new AirPods Pro model made to celebrate the imminent Lunar New Year in February, which will kick off the Year of the Dragon. There's no functional difference between these AirPods Pro and the ones you may have bought last year, but there is an important aesthetic difference: There's a cool dragon engraving on the charging case.
