China Economic Weekly - Economic Network News: The Lunar New Year is coming soon. This year is the Year of the Dragon, and many brands around the world have launched Dragon Year Limited and China Limited. Apple not only launched the AirPods Pro 2 Dragon Year special edition, but also launched a brand new Dragon Year phone case on its official website, priced at 498 yuan, which is compatible with the iPhone 15 series.
It is understood that this series of phone cases comes from OtterBox, a manufacturer who has been creating protective cases for Apple products such as iPhones and iPads.
From the product image, it can be seen that the phone case is depicted as a four clawed dragon, and the bright red color scheme has a certain degree of recognition. Officially, to celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Dragon, this phone case was meticulously drawn by renowned illustrator Yulong Lli. With colorful peony fireworks patterns, curly flowing lines, and bright colors, it vividly showcases the brave spirit of the dragon, symbolizing joy and auspiciousness.
According to Apple's official website, the phone case is equipped with a MagSafe magnet, which is compatible with chargers, brackets, and accessories in the Apple MagSafe magnet ecosystem. The phone case has passed Drop+testing and is claimed to meet three times the US military standards. It is made of 50% recycled material and provides a limited lifetime warranty.
Regarding this, some netizens pointed out: "In traditional Chinese culture, 'five claws are dragons and four claws are pythons' actually refer to pythons as dragons." "Python and dragons cannot be compared." "Since it is a Chinese restriction, it is still necessary to have a deep understanding of Chinese culture." "The Dragon Year restriction should respect Chinese culture." "If you draw wrong, draw wrong, and it is still so expensive.". But some voices also suggest that the dragon in traditional Chinese culture did not have five claws from the beginning, but developed from three claws, four claws to five claws.
