Earlier this month, Apple revised its upcoming earnings forecast, lowering revenue estimates citing slower iPhone sales in Greater China, as part of what CEO Tim Cook called “economic deceleration” in the country as one factor.

Apple also recently lowered the price of the iPhone XR in China, in an effort to spark sales, while also launched its HomePod speaker in the country.

Last year, Apple updated its Clips app with a Chinese New Year theme to help celebrate the Lunar New Year.
