It’s very common here to have some sort of special product for the new year. Apple used to do lucky bags but I think they have stopped. I believe Apple do similar things for Chinese new year (Japanese new year is celebrated in a very similar way, just aligned with the western calendar).

Hold on a second: when people find out they can't disable the speakers in the new AirTags, the "outdated" ones will be selling at a premium on eBay. I have 4 spare ones, and I'll sell them to you right now for $100/each!
