Apple has also started selling OtterBox's limited-edition Chinese New Year case for iPhone 14 models.
Between January 6 and February 7, Apple's retail stores in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore will be offering free Today at Apple sessions where customers can use an iPhone to create a New Year portrait that they can share with family and friends.
