Apple adds ability to engrave AirPods charging case with emoji

Apple has updated its online store to give customers purchasing AirPods the option to engrave the white charging case that accompanies the earbuds with an emoji.
First spotted by 9to5Mac, today’s update gives the option for larger text when engraving as well as a selection of familiar emoji characters, such as the smiling face, heart, unicorn, ghost, cat, alien, and more.
Apple introduced the option to engrave the AirPods charging case with the introduction of the second-generation AirPods, giving prospective customers the option to add a personalised laser etched message on the case for the earbuds, similar to the engraving options offered to those purchasing the iPod touch or iPad models directly from Apple’s online store.
In total, 30 emoji characters are now available online for customers to use. The option is available in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, and a few other countries, according to the initial report.
The engraving option is free for customers purchasing either AirPods Pro or the second-generation AirPods with Wireless Charging Case.
